"When I listened to this polar recording, I felt goosebumps - it is so mysterious but very beautiful and magical at the same time. Sounds that never came to my ear before.
"Then I decided to elaborate on this Arctic soundscape with delicate sine waves, reverse guitar, Javanese Gong, and synthesizer pads to create a dreamy atmosphere. I composed mainly concentrating on the sound's spectrum, to trust the beauty and energy of the sound itself, with hope for our icebergs in the future."
