Big & Blue: Animal Feelings and Oceanburn’s Anthem for a Plastic-Free Future
The project’s debut track “Big & Blue”, crafted by Animal Feelings in collab with Oceanburn goes beyond music—it’s a call to action against the plastic pollution that increasingly affects the entire world. With a beautiful piano-driven melody combined with subtle electronic layers as a backdrop, “Big & Blue” takes listeners to a reflection on the delicate balance between nature and human impact.
The video amplifies that ecological message tenfold, showing shocking details about plastic pollution's damage to natural life through a heartbreaking staging. The power of these images leaves a poignant mark on the mind.
In this song, Chang's voice walks on a sense of longing, full of despair. He has painted a picture of the world ruined by plastic pollution and inept global policy. Through its lyrics and rich composition, “Big & Blue” becomes both a love song and a powerful message about environmental responsibility, while setting the stage for the larger project that is “Plastic Life.”
At the heart of this movement is Animal Feelings, the creative project of producer and pianist Oli Chang, known for his diverse musical style that blends ambient sounds with energetic electronic anthems. With a track record that includes collaborations with artists such as Vampire Weekend and Empire of the Sun, Chang’s music has appeared in popular films and television shows, and his unique style continues to resonate.
Equally central to the project is Oceanburn, an environmental initiative led by scientist and musician Oceanfox. Organized by the BAEWA Foundation, Oceanburn is dedicated to ocean conservation and annually brings together artists and environmental innovators to raise awareness about ocean-cleaning technology during Miami Music Week.
Through the Plastic Life Marketplace, they offer accessible eco-friendly products that make reducing plastic use a tangible goal. By providing alternatives to everyday plastic items, this platform empowers people to adopt healthier, plastic-free habits, underscoring that sustainable living is not only possible but within reach.
"Plastic Life" is a transformative initiative encouraging practical steps toward sustainability. Animal Feelings and Oceanburn are also calling on listeners and fans to become Plastic Life ambassadors. As ambassadors, people can actively participate in the movement by raising awareness about plastic pollution, supporting the marketplace, and sharing Plastic Life's mission with their communities.
