Good morning, Fedi friends!

This next one by Gabríel Ólafs grips me every time I listen, and I still get choked up at parts.

Polar is the story of an interplanetary traveler's last days, stranded on an icy planet. The traveler explores the planet and finds monuments shaped like pyramids, adorned with symbols of whale flukes. The story is entirely instrumental, a haunting symphony that makes me feel like I'm on an icy planet whose inhabitants once worshiped (were?) whales.

Polar (Traveler's Log) is the same symphony, but it has narrated bits along the way. The narrator is the traveler's ship/suit AI, and she speaks to you—you are the traveler.

If you're only going to listen to one version, listen to this one 👆👇

If you speak Japanese—or if you, like me, just enjoy hearing it spoken—Traveler's Log (Japanese Version) is gorgeous.
