Mondo Sahara – DVD plus CD Soundtrack

28 days of extreme desert adventure.

Mondo Sahara documents our latest expedition and film, the first from DirtPunk. The aim was to ride off-road from London, through Spain, Morocco, and Western Sahara. Following this, we met up with Richard Kemplay of Beast of Burden. While we were riding, he had been burying food, fuel, and water across the deserts of Mauritania. Upon our rendezvous at the Mauritanian border post, he provided us with GPS coordinates of the supply dumps, and we proceeded into the Empty Quarter of the Sahara. A group of Englishmen and Americans, we followed a GPS track across the wilderness for 1200 miles, locating and digging up supplies each night for the next day. Nobody had attempted a journey like this before. Although planned as a four-week trip, it was still a significant adventure.

CD Soundtrack
I’ve been writing and recording my soundtracks for 30 years now. I was determined to make the point that expedition m/c travel and film-making were within ANYBODY’s capabilities. However, it doesn’t stop there. Why not create your own soundtrack? This compilation features all the music from the film (some 41 separate ‘cues’) and 10 bonus tracks of sundry songs I’ve written over the years. Every single track is recorded at London’s legendary Gizzard Studios – a hotbed of vintage amps, organs and recording equipment. You simply cannot get music that sounds like this using Garage Band on your Apple Mac. This CD is the antidote to “It’s all done on computers nowadays”.
