Music from Glaciers

I listened to a record playing music from a glacier.

It was at the Artium, the Basque Museum-Centre of Contemporary Art, in Vitoria, Spain, that I heard this music.

The ice records were made by Katie Paterson, who recorded the sounds of glaciers in Iceland and re-froze water from the glaciers into records. The records were then played until they melted and they were filmed, so it was a recording of these that I watched and listened to in the gallery.
