A music related concept by
Richard Knox
and
Frédéric D. Oberland
. 450 km from the Arctic Circle,
The Rustle Of The Stars
is a phenomenon of austere beauty, a barely audible noise that occurs when the draught from human breath causes multiple collisions among the ice micro-crystals in the air. Some words from Richard & Frederic: "We met on tour when performing in Europe with our respective bands
Glissando
and
FareWell Poetry
. We had beautiful times, drinking and talking our common grounds while some simple ideas formed in our minds: to compose an album together. To imagine a musical passage through the North Pole explorer diaries. To ask some people and some friends to participate. To record the project in a church. To act quickly. We began to work at our homes in November 2010, in Paris (FR) and in Leeds (UK), with electric guitars, a bunch of pedals, piano, dulcimer, organ, crystal glasses, bows and field recordings, sending and adding ideas together to the tracks, trying to find a global organic sound. We met in Leeds two months later at the beginning of 2011 to record in the St. Margaret of Antioch Church, using a 'wall of sound' process in some of the tracks and arranging/recording the string parts you will hear in the music. We would like to think of this album as a polar journey to the ends of the earth through the Arctic Sea. We kept in mind the first polar expeditions,
Edgar Allan Poe
's 'Dream-Land,' the ships trapped or crushed by ice, the point of no return, the minds sinking, the attempt on the Pole ending in disaster, the quest of the Northwest Passage, Erebus & Terror, the Mercy Bay, Mangazeya,
Charles Francis Hall
, Beechey Island, the midnight sun and the polar night." Limited edition pressing of 300 numbered/heavyweight LPs with artprint/postcard and download code.
