ENDURANCE by Irezumi (2007)

Irezumi is a former techno artist, based in France, who has created an album of richly desolate ambient music based on Shackleton’s Endurance Expedition.  Haunting voiceovers on several of the tracks add to the imagined reality of the drama on ice, water and land, as portrayed in the music.  A six panel digipak of bleak black and white photos, of what looks like Frank Hurley’s photographs of South Georgian mountains and glaciers, adds to the listening experience.  As to the reason for the CD, a representative of the record label told us that, “Irezumi read some stuff about Shackleton, I think he also saw some documentaries.  And it was enough for him to make an album.”   Snowblood Snow01; www.myspace.com/irezumimusic
