As Cold As Ice

Elizabeth Alker presents chilling ambient sounds inspired by the Arctic marine environment. Featuring new music from Tim Hecker鈥檚 soundtrack The North Water.

Elizabeth Alker presents chilling ambient sounds inspired by the Arctic marine environment, featuring an exclusive first play of a track from Tim Hecker鈥檚 new record The North Water, which soundtracks a film that follows a doomed Arctic journey. The composer Michael Begg transforms daily average data points for ice concentration and thickness, air temperature, pressure, precipitation and evaporation into melodic lines and harmonic content on his album Light Water Is Black Water. The steep ravines and waterfalls of the Calderdale Valley in West Yorkshire form the inspiration for the latest release by the artist known as Spaceship and there鈥檚 a little something from a forthcoming Animal Collective album.
