The atmospheric aquatic adventures of the World Aquanaut Security Patrol (WASPs) provided the perfect grounds for the evolution of Barry Gray's own musical odyssey

After navigating otherworldly vistas with experimental minimalism in Fireball XL5, Gray anchored Stingray's underwater exploits with a cannon of earth- bound incidentals. Employing futes and gentle woodwind sounds to set the scene, Gray's music drew attention to the wonder of the series premise, employing lush heavenly strings for the series' closing theme, 'Aqua Marina' (a croon brought to life by in- demand vocalist Gary Miller). The off- duty exploits of the WASP characters also allowed Gray to return to his jazzy routes, with the production team adding a loving reference to the composer in the episode Tune of Danger with a 'Graystein' Piano. Episodic melodrama was once again brought to life with bold brass, and driving military marches would establish the WASPs' base, Marineville, and an unforgettable Match of the Oysters (in The Secret of the Giant
Oyster). The DNA of the which would foreshadow the iconic theme for the Andersons' next series.
