Originally, the starting point for the creation of this work comes from the John Dowland song "Can she excuse my wrongs". The composer writes: "Rocks Wandering unleashes the musical potential of acoustic recordings from a 100-year-old sailing ship, interviews from a retired Norwegian captain and recordings from above and within harbor, shore and open oceans around the world. The music takes the listener on a journey through storm, reality and fable." The original concert format is a 16-channel source comprising second-order ambisonics and conventional spatialisation techniques. There are currently two alternative formats for Rocks Wandering: stereo or quadraphonic, both of which can be listened to at home or diffused over a loudspeaker orchestra.
