SADDLEBACK is the solo project for producer TONY DUPE. Since the release of Saddleback’s acclaimed 2004 debut ‘Everything’s A Love Letter’, Tony has found increasing demand for his touch behind the recording desk, most notably with HOLLY THROSBY & JACK LADDER.
Tony’s recording desk is housed in his Kangaroo Valley residence on the south coast of NSW. The remote surroundings tell heavily on the sounds he creates and as its title suggests, ‘Night Maps’ has a darker sense of beauty than its predecessor.
These uncanny atmospheres are the result of contrasting feels at play. These abstracted orchestrations featuring guitar, strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion and electronic textures work in the cracks between jazz, folk, post-rock and classical, claiming a space between dark and light, both shimmering and haunting.
Previous reviews for Saddleback: SMH (BERNARD ZUEL) 
“It's just gorgeous sounds in gentle surroundings with room for your imagination to roam. Sublime.” TIME OFF 1/2 Feature Album “An instrumental album of clarity and nocturnal warmth, Everything's a Love Letter says in sounds what we are all trying to (but can not) say in words”
Saddleback’s work has been used in advertising for the 2006 Sydney Film Festival
