DRIFT IN TIME is a live audiovisual performance by ULTRACOMBOS and Cicada, exploring the “memory of ice” and humanity’s connection to climate change. Ice preserves fragments of Earth’s history—dust, pollen, animal traces—like time capsules. The piece creates a fluid space where real-time analyzed sounds of piano, violin, and cello drive visual transformations. Sound and image move together, forming a quiet yet vivid experience that evokes the subtle, often invisible traces of a shifting world.
