Why it's here
Recorded in the Arctic; the field recordings are the composition
Recorded in the Arctic, Polar Sequences makes the environment the composition. Field recordings give the collaboration a cold, remote sense of place that neither HIA nor Biosphere could have faked in a studio. More document than statement, and the sense of place is total. The document is the music.
