Lawrence English - WhiteOut (2025) [Hi-Res]

WhiteOut is an audio work by Lawrence English built from field recordings made during the summer of 2010 at Marambio and Esperanza Bases in Antarctica. It captures the everyday life of humans and wildlife in extreme polar conditions, documenting the sounds of collapsing ice plates, summer streams, orca echolocations, territorial calls of Antarctic Fur Seals, and the chirping of penguin chicks racing to the ocean before winter. The album loosely unfolds in three “chapters” — the human, the land, and the water — which intersect yet retain their own identities, reflecting both the fleeting gentleness of summer and the unforgiving nature of the long winter.
