about

I wrote the piece "polar (glow in the dark)" for guitar and soundfile in September 2022 as part of the project "polar sound". The project was initiated by Stuart Fowkes in 2022 (Cities and Memory) in collaboration with the Alfred Wegener Institute/Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research.
Musicians were invited to write and record a composition based on a scientific field recording from the polar ice and thus artistically address the issues of sustainability and climate change in their discipline.

Originally, the field recording was a two-minute recording from the Arctic of seismic airshots. These deep underwater explosions can be heard at regular intervals of about 12 seconds. Seismic airshots are used to explore the seabed for oil and gas deposits. The explosive shots are transmitted from ships and the echoes are evaluated with the help of underwater microphones. Not only the exploitation of resources, but also the search for them has destructive consequences for marine life.

If you want to have the score just write me an email.

The soundfile is published under the following conditions:
