Jacob Collier and AURORA have shared a special performance shot on an actual iceberg. The two artists care passionately about our environment, and were brought together by Greenpeace for a very special, one-off performance. Travelling to an imposing glacier in Sveabreen, Svalbard, the two then performed on an iceberg.
The move was steered by Greenpeace, and aims to highlight the fragility of this area – and with the Norwegian government rapidly pursuing mining claims in the Arctic, the threats continue to mount. Six-time Grammy winner Jacob Collier was eager to lend his voice, commenting: “The moment I heard about an opportunity to jump aboard one of the legendary Greenpeace ships, head to Arctic waters, and sing a song with one of my favourite artists next to a mighty glacier, I knew I was signing up for something special. What I hadn’t foreseen was quite how transformative and moving the experience would be, and how much it would teach me – musically, energetically and environmentally.
” “I was bowled over at the sheer magnitude of the Arctic – and also its deep fragility. We’ve lost two thirds of all the Arctic summer ice in the last forty years. It’s a shadow of its former self – yet it’s not too late for us to help.
” “We are all creatures of the Earth, and rely so deeply upon its health for our own. The oceans are our primary ally in preventing truly disastrous consequences of climate change from taking hold. The impact of deep sea mining is too.
