"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral." --Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Out of Ice, Comes Music

Terje Isungset is a composer and percussionist who crafts stunning pieces of music from ice. "It is very inspiring to be able to make music out of the world's most important resource: water. Pure, clean water from a lake or river. I seek for new sounds in music, new colors; I try to find a new flower somehow - and to me the ice opens up a new landscape. A landscape of beauty and silence," he remarks. Among his inventions are instruments like the ice horn and iceophone!
