I Am The Earth (A Moment in Time)
An immersive storytelling journey through the Earth’s biomes, where young voices from around the world share their connection to the places they call home.
Each child sings the song of their landscape - the desert, the river, the forest, the mountains, the ocean, and beyond. Their stories, woven together with The Listening Planet’s nature soundscapes and Glyn Lehmann's music, create a moving, sensory-rich portrait of our Earth at this very moment in time.

Nature recordings by Martyn Stewart "There was a little clump of woods about a mile from the house where you would find badgers, hedgehogs, hoverflies and all kinds of birds. I used to go there and lay on my back and listen to all the sounds... and it just enthralled me." Martyn Stewart - sound recordist since the age of 11  | Music and words by Glyn Lehmann "I grew up near the beach in Australia where the white sand stretched for miles and silver fingerlings darted in schools in the shallows. Listening to the pop music of the 1960s on the radio over the long summer holidays seems like a wonderful dream now." Glyn Lehmann - composer, songwriter and storyteller  |
Narration by Kerry Britton "In my early childhood my family lived in Sydney. My brother and sisters and I were always outside creating our own adventures. We moved around quite a lot, but we always found a bit of nature to explore. We made gardens and built treehouses and the surrounding bushland felt like an extension to our backyard." Kerry Britton - narrator  | Illustrations by Connah Brecon "I grew up in a small town in the south east of England, boarded by rolling countryside, fertile farmland and the bracing North Sea. I couldn’t have asked for a better playground and almost inevitably I gained a deep love and fascination for nature that has stayed with me to this day. Looking back down those long hot summers & gloomy English winters, I feel lucky to have experienced all the amazing natural wonders I have seen, heard or held. I have in turn, shared that love with my own child, opening her eyes to the incredible world around us." Connah Brecon - illustrator  Photo:Mundesley, Norfolk 1975 "I’m on the left with the broken arm. In those days you could go shrimping in the shallows and easily catch enough shrimp to feed the family." |
