"Ледяная музыка" Норвегии 2016
Фестиваль "Ледяная музыка" – потрясающее событие, проходящее на горнолыжном курорте Гейло, в Норвегии. Только здесь все музыканты играют на инструментах, выполненных изо льда.
Идея мероприятия принадлежит норвежцу Терье Исангсету, который с детства увлекся изготовлением музыкальных инструментов изо льда. Процесс изготовления инструментов начинается с 272-килограмовых ледяных блоков, которые добывают с замершего озера неподалеку от города Гейло.
Характерно, что резчики пытаются найти лед без примесей, потому что от этого зависит звучание инструментов. Впервые фестиваль прошел в 2006 году и затем превратился в ежегодное мероприятие. В программу фестиваля включены выступления ледового музыкального оркестра, джазовых исполнителей и музыкантов. Здесь можно услышать звуки ледяной арфы, гитары и многих других инструментов, изловленных с помощью цепной пилы.
С каждым годом в празднике принимает участие все больше и больше талантливых музыкантов, каждый из которых приносит свои новшества в праздник «ледяной» музыки. Фестиваль считается данью уважения искусству, окружающей среде и одному из наиболее ценных ресурсов природы — воде.
