forming sea ice
A somewhat unique sequence, created by simply editing together live footage, showing the stages of sea ice formation along the Antarctic continent in March 2023. Before reaching the final stage of a smooth, white ice sheet stretching as far as the eye can see, the ocean’s surface takes on very different appearances: from the faint whitish film that marks the beginning of saltwater freezing, to the formation of large ice floes, and the “pancakes” that eventually coalesce under the influence of the winds.
The footage is accompanied by the final movement of Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony.

After "movements", a rather agitated sequence based exclusively on digital drawings, here is a more contemplative sequence, essentially using real shots of various bodies of water (once again, but fresh water this time...): Lake Huron and Lake Massawippi in Canada, Hudson River in the USA.

movements
A sequence in three movements, all using the same graphic motifs.
Like all those posted previously, the sequence has been designed without sound accompaniment and is presented as such above.
But when I was composing this sequence, as with so many others, I unconsciously had in mind the musical creations that are dear to me, first and foremost those of the two great composers of the late twentieth century, Henri Dutilleux and Pierre Boulez.
Exceptionally, the link below leads to a version of the sequence enhanced by extracts from Tout Un Monde Lointain and Métaboles by Henri Dutilleux.
