Sealab PREMIERES FEBRUARY 12, 2019 Score by Peter Rundquist

In 1969 off the California coast, a US Navy crane carefully lowered a massive tubular structure into the waters. It was an audacious feat of engineering — a pressurized underwater habitat, designed for an elite group of divers to spend days or even months at a stretch living and working on the ocean floor.Sealab tells the little-known story of the daring program that tested the limits of human endurance and revolutionized undersea exploration.

SEALAB score headed into post production for American Experience Series.

Sealab is my latest production for the American Experience series. It chronicles a series of innovative underwater habitat experiments in the 1960s meant to push man’s limits to new depths, creating the ability to live, work, and explore the ocean floor. With stunning archival material and present day interviews with aquanauts who participated in the groundbreaking experiments, Sealab is the untold story of the fascinating and often dangerous work that forever changed our relationship with the deep sea. It was a pleasure to create this "underwater" Score for the folks at Insignia films and WGBH.
