Hey everyone,
I'm excited to share something special with you today – the release of "The Weddell Sea," the third instalment in my Shackleton Music series. This track is all about the Endurance's journey as it leaves South Georgia and ventures into the treacherous Weddell Sea. See the video below
About the Track
"The Weddell Sea" is an instrumental piece that captures the spirit of Sir Ernest Shackleton's legendary Antarctic expedition. It's packed with sound effects of sailing, Leonard Hussey's iconic banjo playing "It's a Long Way to Tipperary," and the authentic calls of Adélie penguins.
Imagine a Pink Floyd 1990s vibe mixed with new age and alternative rock influences – that's the feel I was aiming for.
Key Features
Emotional and Atmospheric: I wanted to create slow, evocative melodies that really draw you in, enhanced by immersive sound effects.
Historical Accuracy: I dived into multiple sources to authentically reflect the mood on the Endurance.
Leonard Hussey's Banjo: I managed to find footage of Hussey playing on this video. He famously played "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" for the Adélie penguins while on the Endurance – it's such a special touch in the video.
Adélie Penguins: You'll hear authentic penguin sounds that recreate moments of light-heartedness amidst the crew's challenges.

Though there's very little video footage from that era, I'm excited to share some rare footage of Leonard Hussey playing his banjo.
