I'm re-publishing on Bandcamp my album Iceberg the Drift which was originally released in 2018 on Sublunar Society. The label unfortunately disapeared in 2020.

Iceberg/The Drift is a poetic and sonic tribute to the Larsen C Ice shelf rift in Antartica which caused during the summer 2017 the complete breaking of the oversized A-68 iceberg, drifting now in the open sea for years, maybe decades. It's the second sound work, i composed being directly inspired from a natural catastrophy, like i did with the Fukushima Days project in 2012.
With Iceberg/The Drift, i investigate the structural ice shelf perception and the vibrant life hidden inside it from an organic and abstract perspective, working only with modular synthesis.

Here, i join some interesting reviews made after the release :

Franz de Waard for Vital Weekly 1088
The first time I heard music by Christine Webster was back in Vital Weekly 1088 when I reviewed her USB drive ‘Diary #1’. On the cover of ‘Iceberg The Drift’ Webster writes that this is her second release to deal with a natural catastrophe. First was “Fuskushima Days projects in 2012” (I am not sure if that is a natural catastrophe or human), it is now about the “Larsen C Ice Shelf Rift in Antarctica, which during the summer of 2017 caused the complete breaking of the oversized A-68 iceberg, drifting now in the open sea for years, maybe even decades”. Like on her previous release, Webster uses modular electronic modular electronics, although now they are not specified as to what kind of machines.
Whereas the previous release was quite playful and open, this new seems to be more composed and less open. The music reminded me of modern electronics, sounds bleeping about, but in a rather slow mode and with quite some reverb to add a fine sense of space. Sometimes she uses tones from her set-up that remind me of small and larger blocks of ice breaking and falling apart. I am not sure but like her previous release some if not all of these pieces have a somewhat ‘live’ feeling to them, especially in a piece like ‘Tensile Stress’ and immediately this becomes a somewhat playful piece. Throughout however the music is very solemn and slow in development, perhaps, indeed like a massive iceberg adrift, but a very slow adrift it is. It is a most enjoyable piece of music (all seven of them) and it seems a step forward in the progress of Webster’s music. If you like modern musique concrete than you should surely check out this particular new composer. I am not sure, if she is from France, but her work surely sounds very French, say the INA-GRM studio scene, and Webster surely is finding her own voice. (FdW)

Kasper Toeplitz for Revue et Corrigée n° 116 Juin 2018
Cet attachement à un sujet non musical – en l’occurrence à la rupture en l’été 2017 de l’iceberg Larsen C, en Antarctique, donc à une préoccupation écologique, pour dire vite – est également le point de départ du travail réalisé par Christine Webster, sur synthé modulaire. Un travail profond, assez loin de la mode ou de l’utilisation actuelle des modulaires, où j’entends d’ordinaire bien plus d’évènements rythmiques ou circulaires et bien moins de matière pleine : chez Webster, on a une matière sonore polytimbrale, pourrait-on dire, celle qui manque souvent si cruellement dans des créations de « jeunes » compositeurs (académiques).

Ausgesuchtstenohren : So carrefully shaped sounds, restraint and yet so emotionally strong ! Everything makes sense musically. This is music making with discipline in the Cagean sense.
Favorite track : Iceberg The Drift

What Feminatronic says about Iceberg The Drift : "There are an awful lot of modular synthesizers and also releases out there at the moment, but Ch. Webster always manages explore subjects that I wish to find out more about and create something sonically interesting with the technology…."

Dans le silence de l’Arctique , les icebergs dérivent et craquent ...fondent merci pour ce paysage sonore Christine Webster
