Ice Music

More icy sounds of winter, made by Terje Isungset from Norway. Since 1999 he has been working with ice the main material to build his instruments. His first Ice Music album was recorded in the Ice Hotel in Sweden in 2001.
The sound of the ice instruments is never the same, as the material changes and changes in temperature change the timbre of the instruments. And apparently, the colder it gets, the better the ice sounds. For a list of concert dates visit Terje Isungset’s website.

These instruments create wonderful sounds!

"While onsite in Antarctica, Cheryl played amplified natural materials (ice, stone, water, moss, feathers, shells and bones) as musical instruments."
