I have been looking for a while to give credit for the installation art that I took a photo of at the top of my site – and finally found it. The work is by Paul Koss and is titled Sound of Ice Melting (1970). This particular installation (and photo) was in the foyer of the Guggenheim museum, New York in March 2009 as part of The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia 1860-1989 exhibition. It incorporates eight microphones focused at two twenty-five-pound blocks of melting ice.
The viewer is invited to “listen” to the sound of ice melting, which is a way of slowing down the mind to become aware of one’s ambient environment as a live sonic event.
A link to the full size picture is coming.
On the weekend, we started work on a Topology and Misinterprotato collaboration project. Piano was recorded on location at ABC Ferry Rd in 421, with the rest of the instruments to be recorded at Farmhouse studio over the next couple of weekends. All is going well so far.
This week saw the launch of Brendan Radford’s album Snow This album was recorded over a couple of years, with the beds being recorded at Wavelength studio, Brendan doing the overdubs at his place, and mixing at my studio. Mastering was done by Jeff McCormack.

This was a great job to do. Mark was approached to do a cover of the Mika song “Love Today” for a Dreamworld TV ad. After debate about melodies, tuning and lots of other things, we ended up with a great sounding ad. Daniel McGahan did the main lead singing with Darryl Murphy providing the Aussie rave at the tops and tails.
Firstly the “So Many Worlds” version:
And the White Water World specific version, featuring the Senior Choir from Gumdale State School!
