"One of the predicted swings in the weather due to global warming is
paradoxically a new ice age which could envelope Europe. Time Frost is music
based upon this concept and uses tiny fragments of music from an iconic European
composition, Johann Strauss's Blue Danube. I imagined that tiny pieces of former
cultures survived locked in the ice and waiting for future archaeologists to
discover and interpret them. I used vinyl lock grooves of the Blue Danube (from
the 1968 MGM recording for the film soundtrack 2001). These formed the starting
points for the five compositions in Time Frost which were then manipulated and
added to and re-arranged into new compositions. Time Frost is an
imaginary recording of the mutational process of sound locked into ice and
transformed over millenia. Like ghosts of music trapped in an evershifting
permafrost."
