The ClimateMusic Project, also known as ClimateMusic, is a non-partisan organization that was conceived in 2014, and founded by Stephan Crawford. The organization is intended to inform the public sphere about climate change through emotionally expressive music. The music is written in collaboration with climate scientists as well as current and future-predictive environmental datasets. This organization's process is intended to make the listeners more aware of the current state of the planet and to give them the opportunity to ponder and ask questions.
Leadership
[edit]The executive team consists of Stephan Crawford, Fran Schulberg, and Laurie Goldman. Stephan Crawford is a guitarist, artist, and sculptor who works out of a studio in the central Market Street district of San Francisco. He previously served as the Director of the U.S. Department of Commerce office in San Francisco. Fran Schulberg received her JD from Harvard and worked as an international environmental policy attorney. Most recently, Fran was the Executive Director of a non-profit organization that focused on energy efficiency in China. Laurie Goldman most recently served as the Deputy Director of UC Berkeley’s Global Engagement Office.
- What are each of their respective roles and responsibilities now?
The three executives now work full-time on The ClimateMusic Project.
The team also consists of scientists, composers, advisors, a Leadership Council, and student volunteers.
- Assuming I should add more about Leadership Council and their impact.
History
[edit]Initial experimental performance was staged in September 2014, the result of an all day collaboration between Erik Ian Walker (composer), Drs. Andy Jones and Bill Collins (scientists), which was organized, hosted, and coordinated by me and Velvet Voelz.
We became a fiscally-sponsored project of Social Good Fund in January, 2015
Our sold-out premiere performance was held in November, 2015 in the planetarium at Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland

Funding
[edit]The ClimateMusic Project became a fiscally-sponsored project of Social Good Fund in January, 2015
Controversy
[edit]- Subjectiveness of science in art
- Most of representation in CA
Results
[edit]- Is it What if We?. What if We...?, What if we?
Compositions
[edit]The organization currently has three composition pieces available to the public which are Climate, Icarus in Flight, and What if we?.
Climate premiered in 2014 and was composed by Erik Ian Walker. It incorporated data from 1800-2250 and looked at carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, Earth energy balance, and Ocean pH levels. The Climate piece should be viewable here.[2]
Icarus in Flight premiered in 2018 and was composed by Richard Festinger. It incorporated data from 1880-2080 and looked at population growth, fossil fuel use, and land-use change. The Icarus in Flight piece should be viewable here.[3]
What if we? premiered in 2019 and was composed by Wendy Loomis from COPUS. It incorporated data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and a spoken word poem by Royal Kent. The piece follows a "business as usual" future scenario and a more optimistic "whatever it takes" future scenario. The What if we? piece is not yet viewable online.
- Mention other pieces being worked on.
