Do you ever just sit back in your chair and think to yourself “What am I doing? How did I get to the point in my life that circumstances led me to doing this precise thing at this time?”. continue reading…
I’ve just had one of those moments.
Katie Paterson is a conceptual artist who recorded the melting of three glaciers, collected meltwater from the glaciers, pressed three records from it and then played it until it melted. You can hear it here.
I think it’s quite magical. You might not agree.
She also translated the score of Moonlight Sonata into morse code, bounced that off the surface of the moon and played the resulting score back on a klavier. Sadly this doesn’t seem to be online anywhere. I’ve emailed her for a recording of it but I’m not sure if I’ll get a response or not.

hi pete,
thanks for your nice message, but sorry no, it’s not online…
it’s been sold to collectors as a limited edition, so legally can’t be given out to anyone else…however my book ‘earth-moon-earth’ is on sale for £10 with cornerhouse, and it has a cd of the morse code recording which might be interesting
also, the piano will probably be exhibited soon so maybe you can see it!
best wishes,
katie
