Captions provided by CCTubes – Captioning the Internet! The louder the glacier, the stronger the melt. The creaking, cracking and rippling is the voice of impermanence. Sound artist Ludwig Berger shows how important it is to listen to the world that surrounds us. The film follows him on one of his numerous visits to Morteratsch glacier in the Swiss Alps, where he collects fascinating sounds that might disappear forever.
“Climate change has always been visible to me, but had something abstract and not directly tangible. With the idea of ??recording the inner sounds of the glacier I got a much more direct reference.“
Ludwig Berger, is a sound artist and composer from Zurich and Milan. In his installations and performances he playfully deals with superhuman worlds such as beehives, glaciers, water infrastructure and trees. He has released various albums of field recordings, improvisations and electroacoustic music.
