"ANTARKTIKA" - a climatic time-travel

concert for string quartet, live electronics and video
by Frank Halbig with the Helios String Quartet

"Antarktika" tries to convert climatic changes into a composition generated on the basis of EPICA ice-core data reflecting the climatic development of our planet. These data also generate the graphics shown together with a video projection composed of images and video footage material from the AWI archive (Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven).
