Cusack, Peter - Baikal Ice
SKU
RERPC2
Peter had known for some time about the extraordinary Lake Baikal, a 600 kilometre long lake in Siberia. It is thought to be the worlds oldest and deepest lake and holds one fifth of the earths fresh water. It was only recently, however, that he came across a reference on the internet to the mysterious noises made by the ice, which covers the lake from autumn to spring to the depth of a meter. The sounds are most spectacular when the ice melts and breaks up, and the lake transforms itself back into water. This album is a document of Peters journey, on a mission to record these sounds...It is an epic contribution to a genre which does not yet exist. [ReR]
