Georgia Shackleton - From The Floorboards (2026) [Hi-Res]

The album From the Floorboards commemorates the 125th anniversary of Ernest Shackleton’s polar expedition, exploring maritime history through a unique sonic lens. The centerpiece of the project is a violin crafted from the floorboards of Shackleton's former residence, accompanied by instruments made from salvaged driftwood. The repertoire blends original contemporary compositions inspired by Scottish coastal landscapes with historical songs written by the crew during their time trapped in the ice. Recorded aboard the historic RRS Discovery, the work bridges the gap between the heroic age of exploration and the environmental fragility of the modern era, forming a profound and intimate musical time capsule.
