about

This track is the result of a collaboration between sound artist Sally Child and polar scientist Dr. Elaine Mawbey, a postdoctoral scientist at the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge. Elaine's research involves using the geochemical signatures preserved in microfossils called foraminifera, recovered from sediments in the Southern Ocean, to reconstruct changes in the Antarctic Ice Sheet and its interaction with the Southern Ocean.

Sally: "The narrative starts in the Antarctic landscape: the ship, the Nathaniel B, appears, moving over foraminifera, four of which are represented by their own individual sound motifs ( coded versions of their names). The foraminifera are brought to the surface, collected and catalogued. The ship leaves."
