Recording and sound mapping in the Svalbard archipelago, using conventional and unconventional field recording techniques, including DIY microphones and hydrophones. The mapping project contextualizes this research and data as almost musical reflections of a remote and fragile landscape at the frontier of human exploration, affected by climate change, coal mining, and natural habitat loss—indicators of humanity’s impact on even the most isolated environments. I am inspired by the greater research into the Anthropocene, journeys of early explorers, and the human connection, and disconnection, to the environment around us and how this has affected the most remote places on Earth. I have recorded from 269 locations in and around Longyearbyen, including 5 glacier sites, Borebreen, Wahlenbergbreen, Sveabreen, Tunabreen and Jotunfonna.
