Alice in Antarctica - Ice (Mary Doumany) at Davis Station beach, Antarctica

“Victorian harpist and composer Mary Doumany, adapted her pedal harp composition, “Ice“ for Alice to play during her Antarctic sojourn, on a small lever instrument. It is a part of her collection of works entitled “Elemental: Impressions of the Natural World“. The crystalline tone in the harp’s upper register evokes the cold beauty of ice crystals, and the crunching sounds of ice crossing water in the footage, make the perfect ambient accompaniment.“ - Alice Giles Alice in Antarctica went to air on Sunday
