SPT. Expedition II. What if one could hear the sounds of the insides of a massive ice shelf moving to a certain rhytm? Despite the amount of available field recordings of the Arctic and the Antarctic and even some conceptual albums on the matter, the sounds of ice, real or fictional, are still a mystery. Using only your own imagination is one way to transform your ideas into a musical pattern, as it was done on the latest SPT release. The Opal Tapes like techno tracks explore two giant ice shelves in the Antartic, perfectly capturing the ambience of a vast and cold monolithic land, white ice and deep water, freezing the listener’s ears with repetetive harsh rhytm and constructions of delay and reverb. The record is powerful enough to instantly create images in your head and transfer your thoughts to these places. You might even get cold. An essential listening. Listen to it hear.
