Massive amounts of snow in the last few days are thawing today — it’s like a watery Pompeii i Oslo as rivers of melt water fill the streets. But soon, it’s back to freezing again.

One would think a score like WHITE FANG (both the Poledouris and Zimmer) capture freezing cold, but they’re more adventurous. Same with Broughton’s GLORY & HONOR. And a score like Beck’s FROZEN – despite its name – is more “cozy wintery” than freezing cold.

Biosphere’s INSOMNIA (the original Norwegian film that Chris Nolan based his film on) has a very chilly, electronic, abstract soundscape, for the far North.
