an abyss appears in the middle of its body

about

I was commissioned to produce the soundtrack to a short experimental film by artist and poet Michele Saint-Michel. The theme was icebergs, waves, and different states of flow. The title is from a poem by Wisława Szymborska.

She asked me to write a short description of my process, and this is what I wrote:

After we discussed the concept I felt like we had a strong narrative linking different aspects of the qualities of an Iceberg together, dark and grinding, bright and brittle, sparkling and meditative. And I liked the idea of it drifting into 'amniotic' sound at the end.

I used some free field recordings of ice flows and processed them in Ableton Live, and played around with synths sounds and arpeggiators until I had sounds that represented the different tonalities we'd discussed.

In a nutshell, I experimented with different approaches until largely by happy accident I arrived at the atmospheres I wanted.
