Coming Soon To Svalbard, Home Of The Doomsday Seed Vault: The Doomsday Music Vault
The project will be headed by Elire Management Group, which is an Oslo-based commercial venture group. A case in point of exactly how unique the commercial venture group’s approaches can be is their Global Music Vault project. The Global Music Vault is intended to be buried 1000 feet beneath the ground in an Arctic mountain on the Svalbard archipelago in the case of doomsday so that irreplicable music will not be wiped out alongside a majority of life on the surface.
The vault will be specifically designed to be able to withstand both natural and manmade catastrophes. To accomplish this, the site will be built to be unaffected by electromagnetic pulses from potential nuclear explosions. The vault is estimated to last for at least 1000 years.
The vault was selected to be buried in Svalbard due to the island’s relative security and geographical remoteness. One of the reasons the region was the perfect location for the vault is due to a general international consensus of it being a demilitarized zone. 42 nations have already declared Svalbard as an official demilitarized zone. Thereby, the vault is expected to be located far from any major future battlegrounds or bomb sites.
Additionally, due to Svalbard’s high Arctic climate, a cool and dry permafrost underlies approximately 90% of the island. It is expected the region’s permafrost will add an extra layer of security to the vault, which will make it even less likely to be affected by any major catastrophic events, due to the ground’s density. According to Billboard, the music in the doomsday vault will be stored using special technology developed by Piql, a Norwegian firm specializing in the storage of analog and digital information. Piql will use binary coding alongside high-density QR codes written on durable optical film.
