I transformed a giant column of ice into an electronic drum pad. 🧊🥁

The impact vibrations were captured using an @interharmonics geophone then synthesized through my modular synth (off-screen) with Monsoon by @bigtmusicltd in resonator mode, ØCHD + Expander by @divkidvideo was in charge of modulation, while Zoia by @empress_effects added a vast, immersive reverb. The result? A frozen surface turned into a deep, resonant percussion instrument 🔊

This experiment took place during my last glacier exploration in March 2024. There’s something surreal about standing in the heart of this frozen world, hearing its voice emerge through sound. Glaciers are alive, they move, they vibrate, they resonate.

2025 has been declared the International Year of Glacier Preservation. As these ancient ice masses vanish at an alarming rate, we must listen before they fall silent. This project is my way of capturing their presence, turning their essence into sound, and reminding us of what we’re losing.
