Sonic Antarctica<\/strong> 90degreessouth.org<\/a><\/p>\n The Sonic Antarctica project is a radio broadcast, live performance and sound and visual installation featuring recordings of the Antarctic soundscape made during the author’s seven-week National Science Foundation residency in Antarctica during the 2007\/2008 season. Sonic Antarctica features natural and industrial field recordings, geosonifications and audifications, interviews with weather and climate scientists and soundscape compositions. The areas recorded include: The Dry Valleys (77\u00c2\u00b030’S 163\u00c2\u00b000’E) on the shore of McMurdo Sound, 3500 km due south of New Zealand, the driest and largest relatively ice-free area on the continent completely devoid of terrestrial vegetation; and the geographic South Pole (90\u00c2\u00b000’S), the center of a featureless flat white expanse, on top of ice nearly nine miles thick. Sonic Antarctica has been produced as a full-length audio CD<\/a> on the gruenrekorder label.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
