Platoon Celebrates Earth Day

From Antarctica to Australia, British composer Ted White has captured sounds of nature around the world and put them together in a seven-hour body of work titled “Mindfulness Nature,” released in celebration for Earth Day. The recordings are mixed with music he composed inspired by his travels with each album dedicated to a continent.

Platoon’s creative team developed seven cinemagraphs to work in tandem as moving covers with each soundtrack, giving viewers a brief escape to a new destination.
