Frozen Alive
by Peter Frick-Wright & Robbie Carver (Outside Podcast, 2016)
In this episode, the listener endures a series of plausible mishaps on a bitterly cold night: a car accident on a lonely stretch of road, a broken ski binding that foils a backcountry escape, a disorienting tumble in the snow and a slow descent into hypothermia and delirium.
Music in this episode was performed on instruments made from ice by Icemusic (click the link for a video). Icemusic is a project of Norwegian composer Tjere Isungset.
