a collaboration
The story I Am the Earth – A Moment in Time and the new remix I Am the Earth – Reimagined were created by The Listening Planet and composer Glyn Lehmann.
The Listening Planet is home to the 97,000 sounds of nature that sound recordist Martyn Stewart has recorded over his lifetime. It exists to…
"celebrate biodiversity, advocate for conservation, and remind the world why nature’s voice is worth listening to—and saving. From lush rainforests to remote Arctic tundras, every sound tells a story. It’s our mission to ensure those stories are heard by generations to come."
Listen to a message from Martyn.
