Reflect and melt (71°S 008°W)

"Inspiration for 'Reflect & Melt (71°S 008°W)' came from research into the role of Antarctic sea ice in maintaining cooler polar temperatures by reflecting much of the sunlight back into space.
"By emulating, following and processing the shifting frequencies and sonic properties presented in the field recording - The harmonic content, musicality and shifting structures were derived directly from the source sound which was then layered using granular synthesis, sonic convolution techniques and various delays to create the composition."
Sea ice reimagined by R.Seiliog.
