In 1929, the ancient map "Piri Reis" was discovered in Constantinople. The map is extraordinary because it depicts bays and islands on the Antarctic coast which have been concealed under ice for at least 6,000 years. What civilization was capable of such exploration that long ago ? On "Cartographer", we imagine that these explorers were from the tiny island of Numa in the Southern Indian Ocean. As advanced seafarers, they navigated every corner of the Earth. We have created a language unique to them and tell stories through song that describe their creation, discoveries and ultimate demise. This is Part 1 of a 2 CD collection featuring the distinctive sound of E.S. Posthumus and vocals performed by the beautiful and exhilarating new artist Luna Sans. On the companion CD: Cartographer (Piri Reis Remixes) The songs are interpreted in the aggressive and cinematic E.S Posthumus style that we've all come to know and love, complete with a 110 piece orchestra, big beats and a classical choir. It also contains 2 bonus tracks not included on the Luna Sans version.
