🐧 Madame Gandhi 南极田野录音采样包 —— 2022 年，获奖音乐人 / 演讲者 / 行动者 Madame Gandhi 跟着一支由音乐人、行动者、创作者组成的探险队去南极，被这块地球最南端大陆的浩瀚之美震住。南极是受气候变化威胁最重的地儿之一，她想把这片珍贵生态系统里转瞬即逝、脆弱、越来越稀有的声音留下来。
自 1950 年起，南极半岛升温近 3°C（5.4°F），比南半球任何地方都快。全球变暖改了天气格局：增强的西风把暖空气推过南极半岛 2 km 高的山脉；夏天一发生，东北半岛就暖约 5°C。整体变暖加剧冰融，好几个巨型冰架崩解，威胁全球海平面。
“把这么多自然声带回来，其实就是——作为音乐人，我能不能用我的天赋、才华、热忱，去制造对气候变化的共情与觉醒，能不能催出气候行动。”—— Madame Gandhi
🎙️ 包里声音全部来自南极田野录音：冰盖融化漂亮的水下氛围、金图企鹅浮夸大叫、海豹怒吼、极地寒风抽打——全在。之后在声音设计师 / 制作人 Sound MANA 与工程师 / 制作人 Kevin McCann 手里，被翻成惊人电子乐器：融冰做的 synth pad、雪和南极岩做的弹跳打击乐，甚至企鹅合成器——对，企鹅 synth 真的有。
“我们越爱上这颗星球，就越有动力做点什么。”
Madame Gandhi 在这项目上的哲学很简单也美：用声音和音乐让别人先爱上地球，爱上了就更想行动。所以拿这些会永远被时间冻住的神性寒声，去做能唤醒别人爱地球、去行动的音乐。
🌍 本包部分收益直接捐给 The 2041 Foundation：推动企业 / 社区懂气候科学、个人领导力、可持续实践，用回收 / 可再生 / 可持续保南极。
🎚️ Sound MANA = Music, Art, Nature, Awareness。纽约 Woodstock 的 ISObarn 二楼音乐工作室，由 Atropolis 和妻子共创，使命是把艺术家重新连回“家”——自然：泡在 Catskill 山美景里，教人把自然田野录音变成音乐。Madame Gandhi 是 2020 夏的第一个学生；Ableton 认证 trainer Atropolis 教她用 Ableton Live 把任何自然录音变成 synth / pad / drum kit。这次三人催化出 Splice 合作包：Madame Gandhi x Sound MANA: 100% Organically Sourced Material From Nature Field Recordings。

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.
