Why am I Recording and Writing Songs about Shackleton and the Endurance?

Hey everyone,

Sub-Antarctic Vibes


It's Tony here, and I've just wrapped up an incredible journey with Peter on my latest double album, "Life in the Sub-Antarctic Campbell Island - The Weather Station Years." But let me tell you, the adventure is far from over.


So, picture this: I'm deep into the Sub-Antarctic vibes, working on this album for three whole years, right? Then, my friend Peter, who's also my co-producer, gets called off to Campbell Island and South Georgia for some work stuff. Crazy, right?


But here's the kicker – his trip to South Georgia coincides with the 100th anniversary of Shackleton's passing. Can you believe it? So, we start diving into Shackleton's story, and before we know it, bam! A whole new project is born.


Back to Front - Inside Out - A New Journey

Let me tell you, it's unlike anything we've done before. We're flipping the script and releasing songs before the album is even completely written or recorded. I mean, talk about diving headfirst into the unknown, right?


But hey, that's the thrill of it all.

So, here's the lowdown:

We're gonna release the album in the order of Shackleton's book, dropping singles along the way, each packed with sound effects to whisk you away on this wild ride. And once it's all said and done, Peter and I will unleash the full album for your listening pleasure.


I won't lie to you – this new venture's got me feeling a bit nervous and anxious. But hey, isn't that what makes it all worth it? It's all about the journey


Join Us on this Musical Odyssey:

So, I'm extending a warm invitation to you to join us on this musical odyssey, tracing Shackleton's footsteps and the epic saga of the Endurance crew. It's gonna be a journey filled with twists and turns, but hey, that's the beauty of it, right?


Saying No to AI Music on this Trip:

Oh, and here's something I wanna make crystal clear: We're keeping it authentic, folks. by saying no AI-generated music here – just pure, heartfelt melodies crafted by yours truly and Peter. Let's make history together through the power of music.


First Tracks:

Keep an ear out for upcoming updates, as we're nearing the completion of our first release, "Eve of the Great War / Leaving South Georgia," offering an exclusive sneak peek into the first two tracks, complete with a rare recording of Ernest Shackleton's voice.


Let's make history together through the power of music.


Looking forward to this.
