Melting Neapolitan is a soundwork composed from field recordings of three distinct ice cream trucks. For many people, the sounds of ice cream trucks are evocative of time and place. These three ice cream truck sounds (representing strawberry, chocolate and vanilla flavors of Neapolitan ice cream) are processed to be distant and atmospheric, yet familiar.
