Permafrost covers large regions of Earth, mostly areas near North and South Poles. Global warming causes permafrost to defreeze deeper every year, which drives indigenous people out of their homes, destroys infrastructure, causes organic matter that was covered by it to decompose which results in release of greenhouse gasses that speed up thawing even further. Moreover thawing unfreezes potentially dangerous microbes, bacteria and viruses that were trapped under the ice for hundreds of thousands of years.
Currently science doesn’t have right tools to predict the speed and consequences of this process which is both a result and propelling factor of climate changes on our planet.
Nawie - "The Ice We've Lost" is bass heavy album, full of dubby-IDM inspirations, created entirely using hardware samplers, synthesizers, guitars and effects. Whole material has been passed through magnetic tape to achieve warm, analog sound.
