♫♪  Antony and the Johnsons - “Rise”

Antony and the Johnsons have contributed a new track called “Rise” to the film Coral Rekindling Venus, according to Listen Before You Buy. But this won’t be your typical movie-going experience. According to its synopsis, Coral Rekindling Venus is “[an] extraordinary journey into a mysterious realm of fluorescent coral reefs, bioluminescent sea creatures and rare marine life, revealing a complex community living in the oceans most threatened by climate change,” and to ensure this journey is an experience worthy of its subject matter, the film is only showing at full-dome digital planetariums. That’s right: Antony and the Johnsons’ music will be playing in a fucking planetarium.

Listen to “Rise” below, yet another beautiful, heart-wrenching work by Antony and the Johnsons that would well-suit the slow-moving marine life and vibrant coral reefs depicted in the film. Or better yet, grab a download of the track by donating to the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre for Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, which serves to “empower local communities to manage the world’s most important and threatened coral reefs.”

Coral Rekindling Venus starts screening on June 5. Go here to see where.
