One of the most beautiful pieces of music Ive been lucky enough to work with this year, out today as a free download for you below > It is an important piece of music to me personally, partly because it was the result of a chance string of events driven by my love of the original track and a fortuitous meeting with Frederic D. Oberland, one half of The Rustle of the Stars with Richard Knox. And partly because I love the intensity and feeling of the original which I have tried to convey in my own way with little regard for the usual rules of making music - ambient strings arrangement at one end, and a drum and bass wall of sound at the other, because thats what I felt was required to communicate the emotions I found in the original piece, inspired by a musical passage through the North Pole explorer diaries. Heres what Richard and Frederic said about the original: We would like to think of this as a polar journey to the ends of the earth through the arctic sea. We kept in mind the first polar expeditions, Edgar Allan Poes Dream-Land, the ships trapped or crushed by ice, the point of no-return, the minds sinking, the attempt on the Pole ending in disaster, the quest of the Northwest Passage, Erebus & Terror, the Mercy Bay, Mangazeya, Charles Francis Hall, Beechey Island, the Midnight sun and the Polar night. Its very winter-y. And Im very pleased Richard and Frederic agreed to allow me to give the remix away for free to anyone who would like to hear it this Christmas!
