1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,780
The project really stems from the increasing polarization

2
00:00:05,780 --> 00:00:08,920
around the whole issue of climate change.

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,380
And it's no surprise that it's in the media,

4
00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:15,120
kind of in the cyclical nature.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,280
Some big piece of news happens.

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,080
Media outlets talk about climate change

7
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:22,280
for a moment in time, and then it subsides.

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,800
It's onto the next headline.

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,840
The need for us all to take action

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,200
and begin to build a much more unified groundswell

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,120
around action.

12
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,840
It requires more consistency in that message.

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,440
So this whole effort was an opportunity

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:44,480
to create a consistent year round, week to week, month

15
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:47,160
to month day to day, actually, opportunity

16
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:50,920
to keep the discussion around climate change

17
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,960
in the public sphere, in the audience regularly.

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,840
So the whole design of this is essentially

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,920
a suite of three movements.

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,760
Each pianist who wishes to participate,

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,320
and they can be a professional concert pianist,

22
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:09,600
they can be an amateur pianist, can download the music

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,720
at no charge, can choose to play in recital formats,

24
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,920
in social media, and posting it.

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,080
More on this conversation with multi-award winning composer

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,200
Brian Field.

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,000

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,760
