An Acoustic Story on Climate Change: Himalayan Glacier Soundscapes will be a 3D spatialized sound composition. The composition will use sounds from field data in the Himalayas and the Ganges, musical sounds that Ibarra has created as a soundpack (with Splice), and some live recording. She is also interested in making the 3D space interactive for the audience.
