about

This album is a score I composed and produced for a documentary film 'Borderski' which, in my sister Kate's words, 'explores an all-woman ski traverse of the eastern Pamir mountains—the "Roof of the World"—where Tajikistan, Afghanistan, China, and Kyrgyzstan meet and Marco Polo sheep wander between them. The goal of this 2015 expedition was to explore the impact of political divides on wildlife and local communities in the Pamir mountains, and to galvanize others to think beyond borders, whatever form they take.'

The Team: Rebecca Haspel, Kate Harris, and Alison Criscitiello: the Borderski trio, aka Fanny Pack.

I was inspired by the sweeping scores that Vangelis created for albums like Antartica and China, as well as the various IMAX documentaries by Greg MacGillivray that my father exposed me to in my youth.

Due to various complications, this documentary never saw the light of day. However, it is the team's hope that a version of this doc will be released in the not too distant future.

This album is dedicated to the Pamiri and Badakhshani people.
