World Premiere: Ice Becomes Water (Amp. St. Qt. & Electronics)

Ice Becomes Water is a lament on the tragic melting of glaciers in our Anthropocene age and a call to change. Originally scored for string orchestra and electronics, this version is reimagined for string quartet and  the original electronics. Those were developed from field recordings shared by glaciologist Oscar Glowacki, who studies the acoustic signatures of glaciers. As the glaciers melt, they raise sea levels, change currents, and affect the entire web of ecosystems across the world. This performance is by members of the Jack Quartet and cellist Jaeyoung Chong.
