Stereo Field Recording
2min 15"
Recorded early morning, 9 December 2010.

This work sought to record the physicality of the glacier, through a recording of guiding staff maintaining access on to the glacier. Each day staff work to re-cut a series of steps and pathways into the surface, making modifications to allow for the melting and shifting of the ice. This piece seeks to record the materiality and physicality of this small scale and repetitive act, which is in turn linked to the larger scale and dynamics of the glacier as a whole.
