For the first full-length concert of SP!TSBERGEN, George De Decker was inspired by the unfinished novel, “Le Mont Analogue”, by French author René Daumal (1908-1944).
Daumal wrote extensively about alpinism: "The ascent of the summit serves only one purpose: the adventure of the unknown."
In George De Decker’s work, the imaginary journey is a recurring theme.
In 2013, he composed i.a: the soundtrack for the multimedia project “Ørnen 1897”, which was written as a paean to the first aeronauts who flew over the North Pole.
​
​Even those who never have seen the Arctic Ocean, has in mind the romantic views of lonely landscapes, glaciers, fjords and especially the eternal ice.
