Mixed by Ludwig Berger, mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi.

"The piece enhances everyday sounds in an almost imperceptible way. It is kind of like eavesdropping into someone else’s memory" (Aliya Pabani, The Imposter)
“These recordings are quite clear and full. The pieces make for engaging listening” (Brian Olewnick, Just Outside)”
“We are listening to their listening of the soundscape and as such, are led into a renewed and perceptual relationship with it" (Rachel Elliott, Critical Studies in Improvisation, Vol. 12)

Innocent Passage in the Territorial Sea

One of her strongest works ever. This album has deep ambient drone instrumentals, but also some almost krautrock-y moments which I seriously love. 5/5. Zen Sounds

These recordings are so clean you'd swear they packed the glacier up and put it in a five star studio. Stunning stereo ice rifts deliver the sound of climate change. This is the best snow/ice record on record. mikehoolboom
