Supporting scientist and musician Steve Garrett

We are supporting scientist and musician Steve Garrett ahead of his run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Steve has turned 40 years of personal history with Antarctica into a powerful, multi-sensory experience.

In his show, The Song of the Ice, Steve bridges the gap between science and creative art. He contrasts his time as a young researcher on the ice in the 1980s with the stark realities of a recent return trip to the southernmost continent.

Steve has taken leading-edge polar research, including the sound of icequakes and carbon dioxide data trapped in ancient ice cores, and translated it into a haunting, atmospheric musical score that blends jazz, folk, and classical styles.

We are delighted to help share Steve’s story.
