Melting Ground
The imagery of Melting Ground consists of an uninterrupted single handheld take, while flying in a helicopter over Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Alaska in August 2005. Garet submitted the footage to rigorous processes of digital manipulation, altering the takes natural condition, light, motion, rhythm, and duration. The audio was specifically composed for the imagery.

This audiovisual release is the latest development of the labelʼs effort to present works that explore the various possibilities of sound and moving image, while also engaging with studio experimentation, materiality, processes, and diverse techniques to treat the material.
