about

'° and so we heard them melt' poses an ongoing project primarily focused on listening to and capturing the sounds of melting glaciers. It has been rooted in a personal interest of exploring the importance of soundscape and the matters it can sonify. And though it first sparkled when I was writing my thesis on sonification of climate change, the diversity of matters it reverberates with constantly unravels in front of my ears. The project consists of multiple layers and evolves around a diversity of actions - from deep listening and collecting hydrophone recordings in multiple locations in Greenland or Iceland, to artistic research on how one can absorb and correspond to such sonic landscape, and furthermore, to exploration of what matters it can sonify - from ecological grief to tourist industry glamourising climate change. The element I am currently focusing on and would like to unravel further evolves around emotional response towards the soundscape of melting glaciers.

about

moltamole Copenhagen, Denmark

sound poses a medium via which I let myself explore and absorb external environments, as well as sonify inner, emotional landscapes. the intimacy of my sonic meandering is often imbued with field recordings, voice, noise and poetry. prone to flickering and restlessness, I tend to move in order to explore new habitats.

These recordings are so clean you'd swear they packed the glacier up and put it in a five star studio. Stunning stereo ice rifts deliver the sound of climate change. This is the best snow/ice record on record. mikehoolboom
