Shot on black and white super 8 film, J≤hann J≤hannsson's 'End of Summer' is a
hypnotic and slow-burning journey through the austere landscapes of the island
of South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula. Filmed as a series of mostly
static tableaux over a period of 20 days during the waning days of the Antarctic
Summer, the film is a startling look at life at the edge of the world.
Accompanied by rich and detailed field recordings of the surrounding this
footage makes a perfect foundation for J≤hann's musical compositions, performed
together with fellow musicians and friends Hildur Gu≡nad≤ttir and Robert A. A.
Lowe. The varying use of cello, voice, synthesizer and electronics creates a
listening experience that reflects both the vast beauty of the quiet scenery and
the necessary cautiousness of its inhabitants. As if gliding through the steep
ice, its rough edges and the harmonious water movements, organic arrangements
are patiently devolving into voice and electronic based ambience that adds
warmth to the icy, artefact laden environment.
The soundtrack to End of Summer is an emotional, enduring listen and a
compelling experience. Forming a soundscape as broad as the view it was inspired
by yet equally heartwarming, devotion to the music will slow down time and
provide a moment of harmony within times of change.
LP edition features the soundtrack as well as the film's sound design on the
B-Side, exclusively on vinyl; DVD + CD package features the film and
accompanying soundtrack.
