ANTARCTICA SUITE by Hunter Johnson (2007)

(Web site download only) Hunter Johnson is a California-based musician who grew up in Southeast Asia and moved to Portland, Oregon for his high school years.  He has worked independently as an artist and producer for musical projects and for television.  This downloadable suite of 13 melodic, instrumental synthesizer pieces began as musical impressions for the paintings and photographs of the visual artist, J. J. L’Heureux, also based in California.  L’Heureux has visited the continent five times and has been an Antarctic expedition artist with Quark Expeditions.  The themed track titles will be familiar to any Antarctic visitor and include Wilderness Theme, Encounter with Sea & Ice, All Ice Melts, Penguins in Paradise Bay, Frozen Rivers, Walk to the Rookery, Dawn Down Iceberg Alley, White Wilderness, Lemaire Passage, Ice Caps Melting, Crossing the Circle and Zodiac Exploration.  In late 2007, Johnson accompanied L’Heureux and a Swiss filmmaker on board the Golden Fleece, a 65-foot motor sloop, which circumnavigated South Georgia, and is composing background music for the video adventure.  www.hunterjohnsonmusic.com; www.jjlheureux.com; www.penguinspirit.com
