Abstract
This chapter uses a formally granular approach to imagining the relation between sand and sound. It takes the beach as a key motif in both literature and music as a space between, a space in which the listener hears the call of the sea and responds to that call. In 15 different ways, including personal reflections as well as analysis, this chapter takes a critical-creative method to rethink the intertidal space as a place of possibility and transformation, and of beginnings and endings.
