As I've already said, when composing this sequence and many others, I 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 Boulez's Notations for orchestra.

Exceptionally, the link below leads to the second movement of the sequence, enhanced by an excerpt from Henri Dutilleux's Métaboles.
Wind in the sails, katabatic winds on the ocean surface, wind on sea ice in the early stages of formation.
A three-movement sequence, merging some of the fixed compositions published in the previous article.
In three movements: The swell animates the surface of the sea and the forming pack ice, while waves travel through the digital draperies.
Smoke and pink clouds in the Paris sky, storm clouds in the Argentine sky and nebulous shapes drawn, gradually giving way to clarity.
In the final stage of seawater glaciation, the ice floes fracture as the icebreaker passes over them.
Some stages in the glaciation of sea water in three movements, without too many drawn elements, but with different modes of fusion of real shots taken along the coast of Antarctica.
Icebergs, glacier fronts or broken ice floes: the sharp edges of the ice intersect with sharp patterns.
Some of the actual shots were taken during a cruise along the coast of Antarctica from Adelie Land to the Peninsula; the swell and the ship's bumps against the drifting ice sometimes affected the stability of the camera.
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.
