# Too Blue - Mapping Coastal Louisiana’s Land Loss with Music

This song was generated by tracking the land loss in Coastal Louisiana over 78 years due to man-made levees, drilling and dredging for oil and gas, and climate change. The song's instruments stretch and diminish over time as more land becomes displaced with water. The data has been provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The song uses sound samples from the Rebirth Brass Band (rebirthbrassband.com), a New Orleans brass band.
