Pentatonic Alaskan

In this piece I tried to follow the gestures in my score with sine, triangle, and sawtooth oscillators, quantizing everything to E flat major with lots of small pentatonic gestures. I tried to recreate the sound of the crashing waves using FM synthesis and a long ASDR envelope. Then copied and pasted it around to where the waves seemed louder in the original recording.
