Album Details

A unique recording made with ice from Antarctica, Greenland, Spitsbergen, Canada, Russia, Norway, Sweden and Italy. How does ice from different parts of the world sound like?

It took Isungset four years of travelling and work to finish this album.

The recordings of ice have been made in different venues and under different conditions

The coldest in Iqaluit (Canada) 38 degrees below celsius and a fantastic nice day (you can see this on the front-cover photo)

Another took place in the freezers of Norwegian Polar institute in Tromsø with only 18 degrees below celsius

This is the first icemusic-album that includes ordinary instruments: trumpet, doubble bass, keyboards and violin. Also you will find electronics and programming by Reidar Skår

The album is produced by Reidar Skår who has made parts of the compositions in cooperation with Isungset
