This ongoing project and signature work begun in the middle 70's has taken many forms -- from choreographed lake concerts featuring musicians in row boats, to live ship horn concerts in large city ports, to large scale ship horn installations on rivers and lakes, to structured improvisations in/on/over rivers, to the 10 concerts produced for National Public Radio in 1984 and available from New World Records as the 2-CD set Maritime Rites.

Sound excerpts from versions of Maritime Rites:
Kiel, Wasserkorso, Oakland Artship, CD (Curran soloist), CD (Steve Lacy soloist)

The Maritime Rites book is available from the composer.
