Sea of Arrows

Sea of Arrows

"The works of these hands are just marks in the sand, so when I come back I hope I have wings." - Sea of Arrows

Fully understanding that the universe moves relentlessly toward a higher state of entropy, why do we as a race continually create things? Why don't we just hang out on a branch like the pandas or the birds? Why did building pyramids ever strike us as a really good idea?

One would think that to stay sane in a career that requires deep focus on creation of software, an outlet like ping-pong or perhaps rowing would be a good choice of hobby. Anything, in fact, as long as it doesn't require a computer or the will to create something with it.

But we love listening to music and we love creating it. Can't get enough of it.

This is why we we spend as much time as possible noodling in the studio, and why we chose to build a custom Flex application to showcase our musical experiments; collectively called the Sea of Arrows project.
