The thread of glacial field recordings continues from the Eldfjall recordings of Jacob Kirkegard, to temporally manipulated Ekstroem Ice Shelf byChristian Müller, Vera Schlindwein, Alfons Eckstaller and Heinrich Miller, to Katie Paterson’s 2007 work, Langjökull, Snæfellsjökull, Solheimajökull.

As if capturing the audial linguistics of frozen water wasn’t intriguing enough, Katie pressed her own Icelandic glacier recordings into the frozen meltwater from which they came, creating Langjökull, Snæfellsjökull and Solheimajökull — three records she then played on three turntables until they melted.
