Step into a rare, live-recorded and filmed segment of Into The Ice, an immersive collaboration between Irish music icon Seamus Egan and acclaimed Scots/Irish harper and composer Maeve Gilchrist. Seamus and Maeve will play their 25 minute set twice (for artistic filming purposes), with an interactive Q&A in between sets. Learn how they created this multidimensional suite of music, sound design and spoken word and witness the recording process in real time. 

Inspired by the history and mythology of Antarctic exploration, Into The Ice draws from the story of Ernest Shackleton’s 1914 Trans-Antarctic Expedition — a moment when imagination, science, and human ambition collided at the edge of the known world.

Through a shared lens of traditional Celtic music, Egan and Gilchrist reimagine this landscape using a rich palette of instrumentation, electronic sound design, spoken word, and poetry. The result is a deeply evocative work that moves between austerity and beauty, solitude and connection — exploring themes of endurance, camaraderie, and the human impulse to explore the unknown.

Seamus Egan, widely recognized as a founding member of Solas and one of the leading figures in contemporary Irish music, joins Maeve Gilchrist, a groundbreaking harpist known for pushing the boundaries of the instrument in both traditional and experimental contexts. Together, they create a sonic environment that is both rooted and expansive, intimate and cinematic.

This special in-studio performance will be recorded live by the engineers at The Bridge Studio, offering a rare opportunity to experience this work up close as it unfolds in real time.
