Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet) Jewel of the Arctic
If you are a member of my website and by chance have joined us for a recent Monday Morning Meeting of the Minds/Casablanca Coffee Klatsch - you are well aware that our colleague Syl Renaud recently traveled with a group to the Artic Circle and shot some great video! Here is the description/background of the above video from Syl Renaud - Reno Video Productions:
"I wanted to honour the beauty & beautiful peoples of Pond Inlet in this piece. It was not easy to shoot video in -30C / -22F weather all alone... I had my 7d freeze up on me once because I left it in the shade. I had only one day to capture the town of Pond Inlet. I could not of done this video without the help of the Z-Finder from Zacuto it performed flawlessly in extreme conditions.
What a great honour for me to have Paul Hamilton write another perfect musical piece to match the beauty & positive vibes from this little community in the middle of nowhere. It was _very_ cold but the people were so warm hearted. Your intuitive 6th sense never seizes to amaze me Paul. Merci mon ami! It's scored for full orchestra: strings, brass, woodwinds & timpani, 2 accordions, 2 guitars, glockenspiel, celesta, handbells. The Inuit throat singing & chorus he multi tracked (recorded with Logic Studio).
Special Thank you to Michelle Valberg for giving me the opportunity to experience the Upper Arctic. Her work with Project North is very inspiring."
