The lawless high seas hold many secrets, ones that were too tempting for New York Times best-selling author Ian Urbina and renowned ambient soundscape artist Christopher Willits to explore. Their journalistic approach to eco-activism and musical exploration is expressed through Ian’s new book "Outlaw Ocean", which chronicles five years spent at sea among smuggling, drilling, and dumping pirates in international waters. Accompanying Ian’s written work, Christopher produced an album called "The Unknown Sea", an EP written to accompany and expand upon the narrative of the book. Moderator Marcus Colombano explores this first-of-it’s-kind dual masterpiece and fascinating collaboration between the creative and analytical brains of Ian and Christopher that live to tell a heartbreaking tale of our ocean’s past, present and future.
