What Can Music Do to Change a Destructive Story?

Searching for music and stories with roots deep enough to address the climate crisis, composer Duncan Neilson found something deeper than he imagined— a reawakening of awe and wonder. He describes a transformative journey sparked by a crossroads in his musical life upon learning the depth of our culture’s current destructive story. His inspiring talk interweaves the strange voices of biomusic, electronica, and a new look at the seemingly familiar monster in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, motivating us to use our own particular passion toward greater purpose and responsibility.
