Andrea Polli Sonic Antarctica

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 (7730S 16300E) on the shore of McMurdo Sound, 3, 500 km due south of New Zealand, the driest and largest relatively icefree area on the continent completely devoid of terrestrial vegetation. Another is the geographic South Pole (9000S), the center of a featureless flat white expance, on top of ice nearly 1. 7 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 Pollis sevenweek National Science Foundation residency in Antarctica during the 2007, 2008
