a collage of sounds...

but not just any sound....
rather...sounds from the Antarctica will be pieced into a tapestry for percussionist Craig Vear's forthcoming electronic symphony.

click here to follow his search and collection of the exquisite sounds, unmarred by modern-day civilisation....and here to read up on his account of the dramatic climate, emotional surges, the breath-taking wonders of nature, and all that is part of pursing one's dreams...

Wow! Impressive use of sounds. And the write-up about travelling to Antarctica...that was really breathtaking...all the creatures playing around their ship. Makes me wish we could see the place too. But if Antarctica were so easily accessible, then it'd be ruined and trampled all over by thoughtless tourists. Some things are better left raw, untracked and unspoiled in their beauty.

yes....it could be quite a problem if tourism hits in...in fact it is already a big problem...and there was quite a big issue about it...scientists trying to preserve it for science and tourism seems to be appearing...
it happened to Mount Everest...and many other wonderful places....if we could only learn to respect nature more seriously....sigh.
