Back in July 2019, Ian Montgomery was on location shooting drone footage in Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland) during the largest ice sheet melt on record. Changes in our climate around the world are now manifesting quicker and we notice this more and more in the abrupt changes in weather patterns and water distribution. On this Earth day, as we are required to stay inside, in turn giving our planet a much needed break. This is great time to tune into the power of our planet, and give reverence to the balance Mama Gaia works to maintain as well as reflect on our relationship to it.

The music represents the vast nature of the Greenland landscape, dominated by mountains, snow and ice and untouched beauty of the land and sky. 3 new compositions – Kalaallit Nunnat, Ulloq and Unnuaq were composed for Ian’s new films from that trip. The other three tap into the spaciousness and meditative quality of the first three.

It is interesting releasing this record during COVID-19 quarantine. Like the small and large icebergs and ice rafts drifting along in the current, We are physical isolated from one another and adrift as we await our next destination ... Changing form and shape… melting away the old to bring in the new… adaptation and survival.

Within this sea of change, our rigid patterns and known foundations break into icebergs big and small and we begin to experience the spaciousness that allows for new forms to emerge.

These compositions reflect the spaciousness from which we can connect to our own revelations. I hope these sounds allow you to heal, meditate deeply, expand and find new beginnings.

The best way to listen to these recordings is with high quality headphones. Kalaallit Nunaat was mixed in binaural/spatial audio using DearVRPro by Dear Reality to give you a more surround sound listening experience, similar to how we listen with our ears in our environment. In essence, it is a more 3D experience.

I am honored to partner with Jonathan Rowden at Overworld.XR on releasing this album. Overworld.XR’s mission is to release spatial audio projects and next level virtual reality experiences.
