The Road to Uummannaq. Friday, March 19, 2010. The most haunting part about life in Ummannaq is that everything changes here and yet nothing changes. Everything moves, yet everything stays in place. As you move, everything moves too: the Sun, the dogs, the icy road, and your final destination. All things come and go, and only the movement stays. Nothing has changed here from yesterday, yet everything is new. Wrapped in scarves and wearing the oversized seal gloves, I feel like an astronaut on the dar...

The Road to Uummannaq. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). What happens to us when we are suddenly deprived of our temperature controlled environments?

The Road to Uummannaq. Thursday, April 8, 2010. Transformation of the Angel. When Joel Spiegelman told me that he composed the music for Ummannaq and let me listen to it over the phone, I knew that the Angel. Was born. But as soon as we arrived to. I realized that this Angel. Was naked, or rather poorly equipped for life at the extreme edge of the world. As Joel played his. Vigilantly guarding the window quake. I knew that our new born Ange. L would freeze to death if nothing was done. What should we do?

The Road to Uummannaq: What is Music?
http://galya-morrell.blogspot.com/2010/03/what-is-music-what-is-music-is-title-of.html
The Road to Uummannaq. Tuesday, March 30, 2010. This is a title of Lera Auerbach’s. Sweet and very touching children’s song that she sent to us in Uummannaq via the Internet. What is Music? Was intended to be used in music appreciation classes taught by Professor Joel Spiegelman at the Uummannaq Children’s Home. As impermanent and ephemeral as an iceberg can be. We hope that Lera will come to Uummanaq next year to premiere one of her works and really look forward to this because Lera’s music is Nipi.
