KhlebnikovKhlebnikov

"On August 23rd 2016, I left on a trip that would unknowingly change my life forever. I was invited to join 'Generator Arctic', a group of filmmakers, photographers, and writers from around the globe chosen by Evan and Chris Hadfield to embark on an 18 day expedition through the Northwest Passage to the furthest fjords of Ellesmere Island. Our home: the infamous Kapitan Khlebnikov, a 24,000 horsepower Soviet icebreaker (the first ship to circumnavigate both the Arctic and Antarctic). Our mission: to document this breathtaking corner of our planet through art and science, and share it with the world. There in cabin 712 I set up a make-shift studio and tried to capture the indescribable beauty and magnitude of this adventure through song. Once home, I handed off the recordings to renowned film and television composer (and childhood pal) Rob Carli who wrote brass and string arrangements to accompany them. This is the result. A collection of songs dedicated to the sailors, chefs, helmsman, engineers, dishwashers, bar staff and maids of the Khlebnikov. To our glorious, fragile planet and precious wildlife. To the communities we visited and every soul that has ever navigated these waters."--Container.
