About
Gaia Theory was inspired by a trip Dove took to the Arctic – a project called Cape Farewell, organised to allow artists to witness climate change first-hand. Dove says the experience woke him up to the speed and scale of changes taking place: on return, he wondered how it might be possible "to write about this without finger-wagging". Dove turned to the work of scientist James Lovelock, who developed the idea that the Earth behaves as a self-regulating organism, which always maintains a balance favourable for life. Lovelock himself describes this relationship as a dance, making it natural for Dove to set to music. The resulting piece is a celebration of the resilience of life.
We’re dinosaurs
And we are dead.
We ruled the earth
With tooth and claw
With snarl and bellow
Growl and roar
But we don’t rule it anymore
We’re dinosaurs
And we are dead.
