Once a bustling fishery (the original home of Phillips Seafood), the island and surrounding areas are being overtaken by the water that once sustained them. Watershed addresses the experience of climate change in the Chesapeake Bay region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the three movements of Watershed explores a different aspect of Hoopers Island. The first movement, \"Causeway,\" is about the long, narrow road that connects the island to the mainland. The water levels have risen so close to the road that waves will splash onto the roadway even on good weather days. \"Ceremony,\" the second movement, refers to the personal and communal rituals and rhythms of life lost because of the sea level rise on the island—the music is bittersweet, with glimmers of hopefulness. The third movement, \"Ghost Pines,\" references the pine trees clustered around the island that the increasing saltwater levels have damaged. This movement is a sonic imagining of that process; saltwater sucking the nutrients from the trees, losing their needles, bark, and branches, and turning white.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"A.
