For 8 months, South Australia has been besieged by mysterious toxic algae. Dead rays, octopuses, crabs, and other marine species, some shrouded in grayish foam, litter tens of kilometers of shoreline. “There’s a very strange feeling when you’re on the beach,” says marine biologist Shauna Murray of the University of Technology Sydney. “It’s just eerie.” Besides sickening people, the toxins have caused large economic losses in fisheries, aquaculture, and tourism.

Ended Monday and started Tuesday after my swim with
Stillness Soundtracks by Machinefabriek.

Machinefabriek is the musical nom de plume of Dutch musician/sound artist and graphic designer Rutger Zuydervelt...

...Machinefabriek’s music combines elements of ambient, modern classical music, minimalism, drone, field recordings and lowercase. His pieces unfold as ‘films without image’, with a sharp ear for detail... - Wikipedia

Soundtracks for Stillness, a series of cinematic landscapes
by Esther Kokmeijer, filmed in the Arctic and Antarctic, 2013.
Stillness was released as a limited edition usb-stick.

An unexpected ice collapse hints at worrying changes on the Antarctic coast:

Yet another indicator that we're on the eve of destruction. But it's massively underreported.

Don't look up?
