The Greenlandic Icesheet is melting. The music present here are all made from field recordings from the Russell Glatscher and sounds created from the textural photos taken there.
Insunngua [2012]
A combination of Field Recordings and synthetic sounds inspired from walking on the Greenland Ice Sheet. The sounds of the melt water is stunning. Really stunning. The wind is strong and making friend recondrings in this environment is a challenge. It is hard to find shelter for the wind.
The variability of sounds is really limited. Ice and water sounds dominates. Ice sounds from small cracks tot he calving ice. Water sounds are typically water drops to small streams on the ice, to large rivers with a discharge exceeding 1000 cubic meters a second. Some palces you can find small cracks in the ice with a unique sound. Other places, the you hear small pebbles rolling down the ice as the ice melts around them.
There is basically no biological sound. The few artic foxes, muskox, reindears and eagles did not really expose any sounds, as it was hard to get close due to the wind. Maybe another try one day will!
