about the record

Snowmelt asks, “What does climate change sound like?” Recorded over two field trips to Kunama Namadgi (Mount Kosciuszko), the album captures the seasonal shifts affecting the region’s flora, fauna, and delicate alpine ecosystems.

Merging natural soundscapes with minimal, considered instrumentation, Snowmelt features melting ice feeding streams, buzzing marshlands, distant bird calls, windswept grasslands, whistling rock outcrops, and recorded guitars from an icy cabin within Kosciuszko National Park. The result is a vivid document of place that invites reflection on both the physical and sonic uncertainties of a changing environment.
