Description
Composer Glenn McClure joined a 40-day expedition to Antarctica led by Scripps Institution of Oceanography researcher Peter Bromirski. There, they retrieved a series of seismometers that were previously buried in the Ross Ice Shelf, the largest in Antarctica at 500 miles wide. While at the field camp in Antarctica, McClure also made field recordings of environmental sounds (e.g., the sound of footsteps on packed snow), and the sounds accompanied the performance of the converted seismic data.
