Paul McCartney Explains Ocean's Kingdom

09/23/2011
. (42W) Paul McCartney is giving fans a unique look into his creative process for his forthcoming album, Ocean's Kingdom, in an online interview on YouTube.

To summarize his latest project McCartney says, "What was interesting was writing music that meant something expressively rather than just writing a song. Trying to write something that expressed an emotion � so you have fear, love, anger, sadness to play with and I found that exciting and challenging."

Ocean's Kingdom is the first time Paul has written an original orchestral score or any kind of music for dance and is the result of a collaboration between Paul and New York City Ballet's Master in Chief Peter Martins, who have worked together to present the world premiere of a new ballet for the company's 2011/2012 season this September.
