Calipso & Caspin
Caspin
Hey Calipso, I've been working on a device that turns the rhythm of ocean waves into clean power—do you ever hear the sea as a kind of music, or is it more like a background hum for you?
Calipso
I hear the sea like a quiet lullaby, a gentle hum that’s always there, but when I’m close to the shore I can feel each swell as a soft chord in the air, so it feels both background and music to me.
Caspin
That’s a neat way to think about it. I’m trying to capture that rhythm in a sensor that can translate swell into usable energy—if the sea is music, we might just learn how to play the right notes. What’s the most interesting wave pattern you’ve noticed at the beach?
Calipso
I’ve noticed a slow, rolling wave that comes in with a gentle sigh, almost like a breath. It doesn’t crash hard; it just slides up and slides back down, repeating in a steady rhythm. That kind of steady pulse feels like a soft drumbeat from the ocean, and it’s the sort of pattern that keeps my thoughts flowing when I’m drawing or writing music.
