Hi all, About this time last year, our son Neil, who is a professional photographer, was fortunate enough to make a journey to the Norwegian island of Svalbard and from there to hitch a ride on an icebreaker to the edge of the Arctic Circle. This is a small selection of the photos he took, accompanied by a soundtrack which I put together. The soundtrack was completed entirely in Powertracks, using only PG Music DX plugins - a testament to just how good this inexpensive program is. For this track, I put down my trusted Telecaster and picked up my second favourite guitar, a Jazzmaster. For those who are interested in such things, it was recorded through my old Peavey Backstage 50 with the Celestion 10in speaker and miked up with a Neuman U87. The only effect added was the PG Echo (Guitar Medium Trails setting). I know that one or two of you are keen photographers, so I hope you like this offering. Many thanks to all who have time to watch and listen. SVALBARD AND THE ARCTIC CIRCLEStay safe, ROG.

Really enjoyed this, ROG, well done!

ROG, Gorgeous guitar. Both the tone and the playing. Really beautiful. And nice backing tracks. Excellent mix. Incredible photography! (a bit jealous over that U87 ) A GREAT listen! fj

ROG, Wow; the images are stunning and your guitar phrasing and tone so good I would close my eyes but didn`t want to miss those landscapes. This could have kept going much longer- its breathtaking.

Wow. What a nice piece. I really go caught up in the quality of the photogragp. Boy is he good with the camera. Perfect light and composition. An then I tuned into the music. What a beautiful piece of music. Your guitar was just a stunning as the pictures. Well done. This should be on tv...
Just wondering if your son got to give those cute little white puff balls a scratch behind the ear when they were sleeping.

Hi Rog Lovely playing to accompany your son's stunning images. He was indeed fortunate to visit that amazing part of the world (hope he had a nice long telephoto lens to snap those bears). Regards, Leon

Really enjoyed this, ROG, well done! Hi Dave, Many thanks for the kind words - coming from a guitarist like yourself, it's very much appreciated. That tone is just down to the Jazzmaster - not as popular as Strats and Teles, but a much underrated guitar in my opinion. Cheers, ROG.

(a bit jealous over that U87 ) A GREAT listen! fj Hi Floyd, That's very kind. I always value your input and I'm pleased you liked this one. That U87 - yes, it's one of only two bits of kit which I hung on to when we sold the studio back in the 90s. I couldn't bear to be without it. It's a fabulous mic, but it can be too transparent at times - it shows up all the deficiencies in my voice! It would sound great with your voice though and if you lived just that bit closer, I'd be happy for you to borrow it... The other bit of kit? The Syntovox vocoder! Many thanks for looking in. Cheers, ROG.

Very calming atmosphere created with beautiful top quality photography. Although the pictures are full of snow, ice and cold, they are still serene and heartwarming, like those sleeping ice bears and the rugged rocks that seem like a human hand has never touched them. Enjoyable guitar work fits the mood.

Stunning photography and music.
I (Bud) have had a love of photography since childhood and Janice is also a fan.
Every image has a lot to say. We are aware of the environmental stress on polar bears and the poignancy of their images speaks to that.
The cliff shots of the birds are amazing. Janice was the first to spot the huge number that were perched in addition to those in flight.
The melodic playing and wonderful tone ... well, it would be hard to imagine a better soundtrack for the images.
You two make a great team and we are sure you are proud of one another.
Sublime!

Hi ROG ...
Amazing and heart-touching seem inadequate to describe the calm and soft pleasure both the music and the photography left with me. But, they're the only words that even come close. Neil must have been born with a camera in his hand ... and that guitar track is simply mesmerizing.
Two top-of-the-ladder pros demonstrating why they're at the top. what a wonderful treat. A heartfelt thanks to both of you!
Best to you both. Be safe ...

Rog, Excellent photo and musical journey! Amazing places and creatures captured on camera. Nice guitar work! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
P.S. Maybe it is my setup, but mix is a bit hot in my headphones.
