per item
This score maps the satellite record of Arctic Sea Ice to piano keys, for two hands.
Unlike standard piano compositions, the left and right hands each represent different aspects of the data. The left hand represents the long-term average with four chords -- one for each season. The right hand represents the dynamic sea ice cover, in a pentatonic scale. High notes represent more ice cover. There is one beat for each month of data, and the key change represents the statistical shift to abnormally low ice cover.
It will be performed live on November 17, 2018 by Kristina Lee. After the performance, studio-recordings will be available for download on this website.
