Memories of a new year's resolution echo and fade in to glacially slow soundscapes made from generative ambient synth and improvised guitar and flute.
The Remember Glaciers performance on a very stormy December night in Brighton is now available for download from #bandcamp here: https://rememberglaciers.bandcamp.com/track/2025-12-18-ice-core-sermersuaq-2019
I hope you enjoy the music and have a very happy new year!

“📉 KEY FINDINGS
• At +4 °C, only ~18,000 glaciers remain worldwide by 2100
• At +1.5 °C, ~100,000 glaciers survive
• [They] identif[ed] “Peak Glacier Extinction”:
– ~2041 at +1.5 °C (~2,000 glaciers lost per year)
– ~2055 at +4 °C (~4,000 glaciers lost per year)
🏔️ THE ALPS
• At +2.7 °C, only ~110 glaciers remain by 2100.
• At +4 °C, this drops to just ~20.
Can you imagine the Alps with almost no glaciers left?...”

Peak glacier extinction in the mid-twenty-first century
Langtauferer
Today, a year ago, I ventured on a dream trip I'd been researching for a long time, and which ended up being a semi-religious experience, being immersed in (and somewhat overwhelmed by) an actively changing environment, the upheaval and plethora of geological features, structures, unreal colors, layers, textures and the "wounds" exposed by the melting and disappearing glaciers... Countless waterfalls, stunning erosion features, later traversing the glacier gate and creek, descending on the ridge of a moraine almost 200m tall (marking the extent of the glacier ~175 years ago), further down walking through the cutest first generation larch forest with the biggest number of mushrooms I've ever seen... Hardly ever have I experienced Earth in such a vivid manner (Yellowstone maybe coming close, but very different)... it felt like being a witness on a journey through both geological and biological time scales, all within a single 24km hike...

A little glimpse from my road trip through Southern Norway end of September. My goodness, that already feels like an eternity ago and I want to get back.

I always stay for the sunset, even on the days when I know that there won't be any light sneaking through at the very end. But I definitely will stay and freeze (and try not to jinx it) when I have a gut feeling that it just might. Sideways light in the mountains is just ethereal, these cell phone photos (no additional edits) don't do it justice, but wanted to share anyway.

The before and after images showing glaciers vanishing before our eyes
They are melting like never seen before, changing landscapes around the world beyond recognition.

Planned for months, but only been away for a few days and new deep memories for a lifetime: Visiting, revisiting and documenting some personal bucket list places in Tyrol/Vinschgau, Sondrio (Valmalenco) and the Engadin, collecting references & research... Landscapes too large & overwhelming, mountain passes (and the human ingenuity to traverse them), vast valleys full of ancient history & struggles (with nature and each other), disappearing glaciers leaving behind incredible structures, waterfalls, canyons, exposed rocks with colorful minerals & textures, new ecosystems...
Getting this final shot of an "old friend" during sunset on our way back on the last evening, an absolute highlight...
Being able to seamlessly travel like that between four countries, more and more a privilege! So hard to understand the growing voices calling for stronger borders, nationalism, ignorant to the real systemic threats...

No picture can do it justice... For scale, note the mountain hut (Berglhütte, at 2188m) in the bottom-left corner...
