With Earth Day approaching in just a few days, Brian Eno has asked Mother Nature to give David Bowie's 1995 deep cut “Get Real” a unique spin using ambient sounds. The remix has been released as part of a global music initiative called Sounds goodwhich has made Nature an official artist on streaming platforms to raise funds for earth conservation.
Thanks to Sounds Right, a portion of the royalties from any song credited to Nature as an artist will go to Land percentage, a charity founded by Eno. The organization will then distribute that money to conservation and restoration projects in the world's “most precious and precarious ecosystems” under the direction of the Expert advisory panel that sounds gooda group of world-leading biologists, environmental activists, indigenous peoples' representatives and conservation finance experts.
“Throughout my life I have asked myself: how can I give something back to the places where I got the ideas from?” Eno said in a statement. “Music began as the sounds of the natural world, and Sounds Right creates a system to give back to nature, helping to preserve the planet so it can continue to inspire us for years to come.”
On the reworked version of “Get Real,” which Eno originally co-wrote and co-produced with Bowie, his goal was to make it sound as if “nature had infiltrated the art,” with animals “coming in through every window and crack between.” the doors.”
Along with the “Get Real” remix, Sound Right has released a full compilation featuring new covers of songs by BTS’s V, Mick Jenkins, MØ, Ellie Goulding and London Grammar, all crediting Nature as a featured artist. stream the full playlist below.
In addition to founding EarthPercent, Eno has committed to environmental causes by addressing climate change through his music and releasing charity albums with artists such as Michael Stipe, Peter Gabriel, Big Thief, Jarvis Cocker and Death Cab for Cutie.
