this edition of framework:afield, entitled earscape: freeze, has been produced in berlin, germany by architect, writer, sound artist and regular contributor d. l. lutz. producer’s notes:
It does not get any colder than this… The world has frozen over, and you are standing in the middle of this wilderness – minus forty degrees, and plenty of strange noises around. Ice produces some of the purest and most intriguing sounds, some of them do not sound natural at all.
We start and end that show with improvisations on ice instruments by a Norwegian jazzer. In-between, you hear thermal cracks on frozen lakes, calving glaciers, breaking icebergs, falling snowflakes, the howling of wind in glacier crevices, and also a couple of frost-resisting animals like seals, seabirds and whales surfacing in the Antarctic. Enjoy the journey to the coldest regions of the earth!

Very nice collection. Thanks!
Nice to see Jana Winderen here.
There was a week when we were
staying in the same hotel in Austria
and would find ourselves having
Frühstück in the hotel breakfast room.
During that same week, she gave
some wonderful concerts and verbal
presentations/explanations of her work.
BTW: I have a work from many years ago,
that uses the sounds of icebergs as sound source:
