Music to my ears, listening to the sound of ice melting

Katie Paterson’s recent musical project is just a little out of the ordinary:

Katie Paterson went to Iceland and recorded the sounds of three separate glaciers – Langjökull, Snæfellsjökull, Solheimajökull – and then pressed the dripping noises onto records made from each glacier’s melted (and then re-frozen) ice. She finished by playing the three ice records simultaneously for the two hours it took each to melt.
