The Titanic.Over a century later, White Star Lines sunken jewel continues to spark maritime as well as politicaldebates, evoke endlessly haunting images, and remains a truly cautionary tale about Mother Natureand the hubris of humankind.Like the ship, our planet has reached a tipping point: the hole that we tore in the sky is still widerthan the gash on the starboard hull, greenhouse emissions are melting the pole that spawned the illfatediceberg and sea levels are swiftly rising. Once again, too many politicians and the shamefullyrich are standing around in their finery, ceaselessly chattering as Venice sinks.On this current trajectory, history will repeat itself. With a world population approaching 8 billion,there won't be enough lifeboats. Of the approximately 2,220 souls on board that night, only roughly700 made it out alive. Similarly, in the event of environmental collapse, only the "1%", their relatives,friends, faithful servants, and highly resourceful individuals will survive.As you explore Jean-Marc's emotive new album, The Helpless Voyage Of The Titanic, it is my hopethat his work will not only steward you through the long-lost liner, but remind us all that it's not toolate to avert the greatest man-made catastrophe of our time.Bon Voyage,Brooke R.
