2022 年，屡获殊荣的艺术家、演说家和活动家甘地夫人与数十名音乐家、活动家和创作者一起前往南极洲探险，她对我们最南端大陆的广阔美景感到敬畏。 南极洲是受气候变化威胁最严重的地区之一，甘地夫人希望捕捉这个珍贵生态系统转瞬即逝、微妙且日益罕见的声音。
自 1950 年以来，南极半岛已变暖近 3°C (5.4°F)。 这比南半球其他任何地方的变暖程度都要高。 全球变暖改变了南极的天气模式，加强的西风迫使暖空气在南极半岛2公里高的山脉上空向东移动。 当这种情况发生在夏季时，东北半岛的气温会升高5°C左右。 半岛沿线整体气温升高，导致整个大陆的冰融化加速，并导致几个巨大冰架破裂，威胁到全球海平面，以及其他破坏性后果。
“带着所有这些自然声音回来的真正想法是，作为一名音乐家，我可以利用我的天赋、我的才华和我的热情，唤起人们对气候变化的同理心和意识，并激发气候行动。”——甘地夫人
该包中的所有声音均源自在南极洲捕获的现场录音。 从冰盖融化的美丽水下环境，到巴布亚企鹅华丽的叫声，到愤怒的海豹咆哮，以及鞭打的北极风——一切都在这里。 然后，在声音设计师和制作人 Sound MANA 以及工程师和制作人 Kevin McCann 的帮助下，这些录音被拍摄并转化为令人难以置信的电子乐器。 这些家伙创造了由融化的冰制成的华丽合成器垫，由雪和南极岩石制成的弹性打击乐节拍，甚至还有杀手企鹅合成器 – 是的，没错……企鹅合成器！
“我们越爱这个星球，我们就越有动力去做某事”。
甘地夫人在这个项目上的简单而美丽的理念是通过声音和音乐激励其他人爱上我们的星球，并希望在爱上我们的星球时我们会更有动力采取行动。 因此，利用这些将永远冻结在时间中的神奇冰冷声音，创作音乐来激励其他人热爱我们的星球并采取行动。
该包的部分收益将直接捐给 2041 基金会，该基金会的使命是让企业和社区参与气候科学、个人领导力以及促进可持续实践，通过促进回收、可再生能源和可持续发展来保护南极洲 应对气候变化的影响。
Sound MANA 代表音乐、艺术、自然和意识。 它是纽约伍德斯托克的一家音乐工作室，位于ISObarn的二楼。 Sound MANA 由 Atropolis 和他的妻子共同创立，其使命是让艺术家与他们的家乡自然重聚，让他们沉浸在卡茨基尔山脉的美景中，并教他们如何将自然现场录音转化为音乐。
Madame Gandhi 是他们 2020 年夏天的第一位学生。Atropolis 是 Ableton 认证培训师，教 Madame Gandhi 如何使用 Ableton Live 将任何 Nature 现场录音转变为音乐元素，例如合成器、打击垫和鼓组。 这次，他们共同促成了 Splice 的第一个合作样本包，Madame Gandhi x Sound MANA：100% 来自自然现场录音的有机材料。

On an expedition to Antarctica in 2022 with dozens of musicians, activists and creators, Madame Gandhi, award-winning artist, speaker, and activist, was awe-struck by the vast beauty of our southernmost continent. Antarctica is one of the most threatened places by climate change and Madame Gandhi wanted to capture the fleeting, delicate, and increasingly rare sounds of this precious ecosystem.
Since 1950, the Antarctic Peninsula has warmed almost 3°C (5.4°F). That’s more warming than anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere. Global warming has changed Antarctic weather patterns such that strengthened westerly winds force warm air eastward over the Antarctic Peninsula’s 2km-high mountain chain. When this happens in summer, temperatures in the north-east Peninsula warm by around 5°C. Overall warmer temperatures along the peninsula are increasing ice melt across the continent and have caused several giant ice shelves to break apart, which threatens sea levels across the globe, amongst other damaging consequences.
“Really the idea of coming back with all of these nature sounds is, as a musician can I use my gift, my talent, my passion, to create empathy and awareness around climate change and can it inspire climate action.”- Madame Gandhi
All of the sounds in this pack are derived from field recordings captured in Antartica. From beautiful underwater ambiences of ice caps melting to the flamboyant squawking of Gentoo Penguins, to angry seal growls, and whipping arctic winds – its all here. These recordings were then taken and flipped into incredible electronic instruments with the help of sound designer and producer Sound MANA and engineer and producer Kevin McCann. These guys created gorgeous synth pads made from melting ice, bouncy percussion beats made from snow and Antarctic rock, and even killer penguin synths – yes that’s right…penguin synths!!!
“The more we fall in love with this planet, the more we feel motivated to do something”.
Madame Gandhi’s simple and beautiful philosophy on this project is to inspire others to fall in love with our planet through sound and music, and hopefully in falling in love with our planet we feel more inspired to take action. So take these magical icy sounds that will forever be frozen in time and create music that inspires others to love our planet and take action.
A portion of proceeds from this pack will go directly to The 2041 Foundation who’s mission is to engage businesses and communities on climate science, personal leadership, and the promotion of sustainable practices to preserve of Antarctica through the promotion of recycling, renewable energy and sustainability to combat the effects of climate change.
Sound MANA stands for Music, Art, Nature, and Awareness. It is a music studio in Woodstock, New York, located on the second floor of ISObarn. Co-founded by Atropolis and his wife, Sound MANA’s mission is to reunite artists with their home, Nature, by immersing them in the beauty of the Catskill Mountains and teaching them how to turn Nature field recordings into music.
Madame Gandhi was their first student in the summer of 2020. Atropolis, an Ableton certified trainer, taught Madame Gandhi how to use Ableton Live to turn any Nature field recording into a musical element, such as a synth, pad, and drum kit. This time, together, they catalyzed their first collaborative sample pack for Splice, Madame Gandhi x Sound MANA: 100% Organically Sourced Material From Nature Field Recordings.
