POLLI, ANDREA - SONIC ANTARCTICA (CD)
![](system/html/andrea-polli-sonic-antarctica-cd-063093-fd8e0e2c.jpeg)
""Sonic Antarctica" features natural and industrial field recordings, sonifications and audifications of science data and interviews with weather and climate scientists. The areas recorded include: the "Dry Valleys" (77°30'S 163°00'E) on the shore of McMurdo Sound, 3,500 km due south of New Zealand, the driest and largest relatively ice-free area on the continent completely devoid of terrestrial vegetation. Another is the geographic South Pole (90°00'S), the center of a featureless flat white expance, on top of ice nearly nine miles thick. The "Sonic Antarctica" Project is a radio broadcast, live performance as well as a sound and visual installation. It features recordings of the Antarctic soundscape made during Andrea Polli's seven-week National Science Foundation residency in Antarctica during the 2007/2008 season." (label info)
