Steven Price Our Planet
FIRST EVER CD RELEASE USING ECO-FRIENDLY SEAWEED PACKAGING The emotive soundtrack to the new Netflix series 'Our Planet' showcases the beauty & fragility of our natural world. From the creator of 'Planet Earth', the new eight-part Netflix original documentary series has been made in collaboration with Silverback Films, whose director Alastair Fothergill was the creator of the critically-acclaimed original 'Planet Earth' and 'Blue Planet' series. Our Planet is narrated by the inimitable Sir David Attenborough and looks at the amazing wonders that remain in the natural world, and the impact of environmental issues including deforestation and the devastating effects of climate change. The series also reveals inspirational stories about nature s powerful capacity to recover. Like its predecessors, the series was in production across four years, with footage captured from over 3,500 filming days in 50 different countries. Academy Award-winning composer Steven Price has developed a richly thematic score across the eight films that provides a unified soundtrack to the series, performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London. He said: "For every moment across the eight films, from scenes of epic scale to those of incredible intimacy, my focus has always been on the emotional connection that the music could provide in support of the remarkable images. My hope is that the music for these films can take the audience on a real journey, helping to inspire the changes we need to care for our home." Known for speaking up on behalf of the planet and its species, Grammy-nominated singer Ellie Goulding was first to be approached by Price to develop the original track, 'In This Together'. "I felt like I was joining the ultimate team of earth defenders, she said of the project. It s a series that simultaneously wakes you up to the emergency but also instils wonderment. Watch it, and you will never take the earth for granted again."
