Antarctica, 03’50” / 2019

As sound material I am using recordings of the singing saw and bow.
I’ve never been to the Arctic Sea, haven’t touched ground there, just travel in my imagination.
I am aware of a critical momentum and want to express my worries and hope.
I know that nature will overcome human kind. At the same time I wish that we can go on and survive the journey.
