32 for Volcán Cayambe (Transformative Adaptation)
The sound is inspired by collaborative field work with a group of scientists studying climate change in the La Dormida Watershed and Hermoso Glacier in Cayambe, Ecuador. Climbing at over 16,000 feet to reach the edge of the ice, you can feel your heartbeat pounding rapidly at the base of your neck.
The audio files are a combination of my children’s heartbeats and the sounds collected of meltwater running at the Glacier tongue, melt stream and watershed in succession overlaid with the International SOS signal for distress
