《海之手》是一封写给墨西哥下加利福尼亚南部自然与人类之间微妙共生关系的音乐情书。Splice的团队与墨西哥城的创作歌手兼作曲家Moncaya一起参观了Baja美丽的沿海水域，将现场录音和音乐结合起来，讲述当地渔民和活动家如何促进可持续渔业和旅游实践，尊重海洋和保护脆弱的生态系统。
在巴哈期间，Splice与Orgcas建立了联系。Orgcas是一个由女性领导和运营的组织，专门通过科学、交流、教育和当地旅游创造海洋保护解决方案。组织决定解决一个科学界几十年来一直在发出警报的问题，鲨鱼数量的锐减（以及其他几个问题）。根据世界自然基金会（WWF）的数据，目前1200种鲨鱼中至少有36%面临灭绝的危险。但在墨西哥，小规模的鲨鱼捕捞仍然是当地社区的一种习俗，几十年来一直是整个家庭的主要收入来源。因此，为了让奥卡斯在保护这些水域方面取得进展，他们需要与当地渔民建立信任。过去，人们不愿与Orgcas这样的科学组织合作，因为担心捕捞许可证会在没有任何通知的情况下被撤销。
经过长时间的对话，他们已经能够制定出一个解决方案，以确保该地区鲨鱼及其家庭的可持续性。奥卡斯一直在将渔业收入转化为当地渔民的生态旅游收入，并培训他们以可持续的方式进行新的捕捞。他们还与当地人一起请愿，反对炸药捕鱼、水下采矿和不受限制的旅游业，这些都威胁着鲨鱼和整个加利福尼亚湾的生态系统。
这个包通过声音和音乐捕捉到这种正在进行的环境保护努力。你将听到Splice和当地渔民自己捕捉到的现场录音，包括他们的船只、钓鱼线和海洋的平静声音。你会听到仙人掌森林的氛围和海浪的冲击，而Moncaya演奏charango，并与大自然的声音一起演唱精致的旋律。该包甚至还配备了水听器，记录抹香鲸发出的专利咔哒声。所有这些声音都被翻转成多才多艺的打击乐器和旋律，无缝地融合在一起。整个包是一个宁静和迷人的音景，值得我们的意识和保护。

Manos Del Mar (Hands of the Sea) is a musical love letter to the delicate symbiotic relationship between nature and humanity in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Splice’s team alongside Mexico City based singer-songwriter and composer Moncaya visited the gorgeous costal waters of Baja to combine field recordings and music to tell the story of how local fisherman and activists are promoting sustainable fishing and tourism practices that respect the sea and protect the fragile ecosystem.
While in Baja, Splice connected with Orgcas, a women led and run organization that specializes in creating marine conservation solutions through science, communication, education, and local-based tourism. Orgcas decided to solve a problem that the scientific community have been sounding the alarm for decades, the collapse of the shark population (amongst several other issues). Currently, at least 36 percent of the 1,200 species of sharks are at risk of extinction, according to data from the World Wild Fund (WWF). But In Mexico, small-scale shark fishing continues to be a custom of native communities and it has been the main source of income for entire families for decades. So in order for Orgcas to make progress on protecting these waters they needed to build trust with the local fisherman. In the past, there was a reluctance to cooperate with scientific organizations like Orgcas for fear of the revocation of fishing permits without any notice.
After a lengthy dialogue, they have been able to work out a solution that will ensure the sustainability of both the sharks and the families in the area. Orgcas has been converting fishing income into eco-tourism income for the local fisherman and training them on new ways off fishing in sustainable ways. They’ve also worked with locals to petition and protect against dynamite fishing, underwater mining, and unchecked tourism that threatens the sharks and the entire Gulf of California ecosystem.
This pack captures this ongoing environmental protection effort through sound and music. You’ll hear field recordings captured by Splice and the local fisherman themselves of their boats, fishing lines, and the peaceful sounds of the ocean. You’ll hear ambiences of cacti forests and crashing waves while Moncaya plays charango and sings delicate melodies in concert with the sounds of nature. The pack even features hydrophone recordings of sperm whales making their patented clicking sounds. All of these sounds have been flipping into versatile percussion and melodies that blend together seamlessly. The entirety of the pack is a serene and captivating soundscape that deserves our awareness and protection.
