Jean Cras (1879-1932) was full of contradictions. He combined a career in the French navy – he wandered over the oceans for years and became schout-bij-nacht (rear admiral) – with the composing of a lot of atmospheric music, style wise in between Duparc, Debussy and Ravel. Apart from that he was also an inventor of nautical instruments.
