This album represents a unique sonic collaboration between science and music. Oceanographer Joshua Jones and composer Lei Liang began exploring Arctic soundscapes in 2018, culminating in the piece Six Seasons in 2022. Violinist Marco Fusi joined the project in 2024, shaping the work into an ambitious solo performance. The project interweaves recordings of Arctic environments and marine life with musical improvisation, offering a glimpse into the remote and fragile underwater world. Through an innovative use of sound, the team has created a profound listening experience that bridges the gap between art and science, highlighting the intricate rhythms of nature.
