"...The crunches of massive ice blocks, minute ice crystals breaking, the splashes of water running from the glacier’s base –which vary from a few drops to several cubic meters- winding their way through gaps between rocks and frozen soil, and their reverberations within different sections of the Quelccaya; contest the images of a passive, fluid and malleable nature. They remark, instead, its excess, indifference, and destructive power. By forcing us to experience sound as a continuum of history -instead of an ephemeral and recent event that may only perdure in our memory or any other recording device-, these adjacent and overlapping sonic forms, without a doubt, are narrating the histories of climate change."
