This album was commissioned by a major sandcastle-building competition to accompany one of the prize-winning entries. Originally, Dairy Tade recommended that we base the tunings on the structural dimensions of the castle but after some of the initial sketches, we decided to use some of the performers that live in the castle to give the performance a more "authentic" feel.
The title comes from the fact that we couldn't record the indigenous performers while the tide was up, but Tade agreed to adjust the mix to compensate. However, Dairy had multiple discussions with the competition officials to ensure that this compromise wouldn't affect his own competition submission. Ultimately, everyone was happy with the result except for the coast guard that had to accommodate for the the increased traffic.
