Antarctica
Records was founded as a vehicle to bring music into
the world which would otherwise not exist in the public marketplace.
Additionally our aim is to provide talented artists access
to state-of-the-art recording technologies and audiences beyond
their geographic region.
The musical relationships generated by Antarctica Records
reflect our philosophy of bringing together musicians who
share a passion for music in general, rather than following
specific trends or putting popularity and monetary considerations
above the music. Antarctica Records continues to move forward,
with new artists to discover, new ways of recording, and new
methods of bringing music to the public.
 Why
the name? For many years Antarctica Records founder John Trevethan
has had an ongoing fascination with the mysterious continent
at the bottom of the world. He originally used Antarctica
as the name for his ambient, world-influenced band which later
became Poleshift. Next, during the period of 1999-2000 John
and his wife Brenda owned Antarctica Studios, a multi-functional
facility featuring a high-end ProTools recording studio, CD
mastering suite, graphic & web design department, digital
art gallery and an online independent label. Antarctica Studios
hosted several interesting projects including a Q&A session
held by King Crimson's Robert Fripp on January 16th, 2000. |
