Review of Cambridge Bay Soundscape

Master soundscape artist Victoria Fenner proves you don't need narrative to tell place stories. I'm blown away by the shear luxury of hearing 7:47 of Arctic Circle life. There's a gentle native expansiveness and unhurried emptiness occasionally stamped by the artist as she plays with and in the sound environment. Broadcast this and help audiences learn to hear as babies again. Transcendent naive / outsider / folk music ending - beautiful as a setting arctic sun.
