Solo evening-length improvisation weaving field recordings from Greenland with electronic music. 65 minutes. .

I performed an evening-length melodic, glitch-ambient soundtrack, sketches for what became my feature-length music-film, MELT: the memory of ice, weaving field recordings of the soundscapes of Greenland – rushing meltwater streams, crackling underwater krill, whale whistles and clicks, the thunderous boom of calving icebergs, the wails of sled dogs, noisy generator drones, and children’s voices — into a powerful sonic experience.The evening began with a conversation hosted by series curator Dan Joseph.
