Erda is the geologic narrative of the events prior to the 1996 eruption under Vatnajökull and its impact on the glacier. The programme note is written by Stephen Lezak, writer, researcher, and advocate working at the intersection of climate politics and environmental justice.
More so than any other form of existence, glaciers bridge the distance between the turbulent human world and the inscrutable world of the eternal. They achieve this by being simultaneously timeless and ephemeral—inscribing the pre-historic past but threatening to vanish as our planet changes more rapidly with each passing year. And through their double-life, they offer an unparalleled wisdom: the invitation to connect the “deep time” of geology to the diurnal, fleeting time of humanity. - Stephen Lezak, 2024

ROF, written for the Siggi String Quartet, is part of my Glacier Series—a series of works inspired by the transformations that climate change brings to glacial landscapes. The work evokes a moment of collapse, when the glacier gives way, loses its structural integrity, and begins to retreat.
