The core of this piece is an excerpt from an interview with a friend of mine in which she describes her daily runs in Edmonton, Alberta that take her across the North Saskatchewan River. In a brief window each day, she observes how the ice on the river changes, from autumn through to spring. My piece travels from the indoor interview room into a fantasy on the speaker’s words, and eventually outdoors to the riverbank. All of the sounds are derived from her voice except for the crows and wind of Jasper, Alberta.
