Jon Hopkins collaborates with NASA for new single 'Forever Held'

Following on from his highly-praised 'RITUAL' LP earlier this year, Jon Hopkins has now returned to share a very special new single.

The new track 'Forever Held' is a full orchestral piece with string arrangements by Icelandic multi-instrumentalist Ólafur Arnalds, and was inspired by letters written by NASA Creative Director and artist Erica Bernhard during the creation of the installation for NASA's 'Space For Earth' exhibit.

Speaking about the new offering, he said, “I took this opportunity to create a full orchestral piece. I wanted to make something timeless that would transmit the feeling of being ‘held’ by the Earth. I was thinking about the fragility and power of our planet, and of the human race’s role in its own destiny.”
