about

This 7" single represents two songs, or scenes from the forthcoming album, 'Canvas'. The album is a conceptual set of 13 songs inspired by the first circumnavigation of the Earth from 1520- 22 by the Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan.

Scene 2: 'Pigafetta's Dream' is in refrence to Antonio Pigafetta, an Italian Merchant who sailed with the fleet and kept a diary of the journey. It is through this that we know about the expedition. He was one of only 13 to arrive home alive from an original 257.

Scene 10: 'The Conflict At Mactan' is inspired by the Death of Commander Magellan at the hands of Lapu Lapu Warriors in what is now the modern day Philippines, in 1521.
