SD40 Polar Footsteps

SD40 Polar FootstepsDESCRIPTION: In Polar Footsteps, get a collection of sounds from my wanderings in the far north and far south. Hear crampons crunching on soft summer ice and the intense popping resonance of microspikes echoing in ice caves in winter. Hear icy footsteps recorded with hydrophones (from below lake ice) and resonant icicles falling into crevasses as I struggle to climb out of the abyss. I didn't set out to record footsteps, but after 3 years of exploring

you could hear the subtle sounds of the millions of drips that form glacial rain

Normally I hear coyotes out in the plains where they love hunting jackrabbits

Enjoy listening to the natural music of the wind as it sings on long thin wires
