Glacially evolving ambient music and memories of glaciers are the inspirations behind Remember Glaciers. This project of Jim Purbrick shares the memories of the last people to remember visiting glaciers, as improvised live streamed performances.

This performance recording, entitled ‘Ice Core (Rhône Glacier 2009 and 2024)’ uses fragments of Duncan Porter’s memories of two trips to the glacier, recovered from the past like bubbles of air trapped in ice cores. Glacially slow ambient soundscapes echo and fade, using generative techniques and granular processing.
