Mark O'Leary Daniele Santini Norge Italia In 1925 Roald Amundsen with pilot Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen and American Lincoln Ellsworth flying a pair of Italian built Dornier-Wal sea planes came close to crossing the North Pole by air, a prestigious feat not yet achieved. Amundsen then proceeded to contact Umberto Nobile and asked him to embark on an Airship expedition over the North Pole. They had to modify the original N1 airship which had been built for Nobile by the Italian State Airship Factory to make it suitable for Cold weather and long range performance. Nobile was then proposed as Pilot and Amundsen was expedition leader. After much debate they were ultimately proven to have been the first to have flown over the North Pole, and quite possibly the first humans to have reached it! The combination of Amundsen's spirit of adventure and the genius of Italian engineering culminated in a major triumph not just in aviation history but as feat of human endeavor.	press contacts In mid 2011 Daniele Santini owner of TIBProd Italy commissioned a duo project from Mark O'Leary with himself on electronics. Mark immediately suggested this concept as subject matter, Daniele Santini enthusiastically accepted. Ironically as an 11 year old child Daniele painted an image of an Airship which was a very advanced abstract interpretation. Daniele proceeded to construct and send various sounds to Mark which he worked with, developed his own material, assembled and brought his constructions to Hub Studio where Donncha Moynihan worked on mixing and post production.
