The world faces a harsh reality: climate change. We humans, through pollution, deforestation, and ecosystem destruction, have caused a crisis demanding immediate attention. Year after year, the danger grows, yet many, including governments, turn a blind eye. However, history teaches us that one person with a spark can ignite change.
Enter Oli Chang, an artist channeling his creative power through music for a greater cause. Under the moniker Animal Feelings and teaming up with musician Scott Dagg and the BAEWA Foundation’s annual charity event Oceanburn, he presents "Big & Blue"—a project with a vision for a world free from plastic pollution.
At the heart of their collaboration is Plastic Life, a movement that goes beyond music, blending art and activism to combat plastic waste. Through evocative soundscapes, visual storytelling, and environmental activism, Plastic Life urges listeners to take meaningful action.
The initiative seeks to mobilize music lovers, social justice champions, and environmental activists to become ambassadors for this cause. Through music, they hope to ignite a wave of change, translating melodies into action and rhythms into commitment.
Supporting this mission, Oceanburn introduces the Plastic Life Marketplace, a platform crafted to help individuals make conscious choices, reduce plastic consumption, and live healthier, plastic-free lives.
Oceanburn is an annual gala held during Miami Music Week with a mission to protect and restore the world's oceans. The event gathers artists, innovators, and environmental advocates on the open sea to drive awareness and raise funds for large-scale ocean-cleaning projects. Oceanburn is committed to tackling the world’s five massive plastic islands, aiming for their complete removal by 2030.
"Big & Blue" is a powerful plea for environmental awareness, and by blending their talents, they have managed to create a deeply moving experience. The song's heart lies in its gentle rhythm and melodies, intertwined with a beautiful piano line. Chang's vocals, with their almost ethereal quality, evoke a sense of tranquility reminiscent of Buddha Bar compilations.
"Big & Blue" is the first track of the upcoming album “Plastic Life”. The three-track album will immerse listeners in the ocean's essence, transporting them on a sonic voyage that mirrors the sea's beauty and the critical need for its preservation.
Alongside the song, we also get an accompanying music video that paints a powerful visual counterpart to the melody. Lush green landscapes, vibrant rivers, and serene beauty abruptly give way to Chang amidst a towering mound of garbage. This stark contrast is an undeniable metaphor. It serves as a potent image, urging viewers to truly comprehend the natural world we stand to lose if we fail to act.
Music has the unique ability to connect with hearts and minds, making it a powerful tool for raising awareness of environmental issues. "Big & Blue" serves as a wake-up call, an emotive story woven with soothing melodies. It's a gentle reminder of the beauty that hangs in the balance, a call to action before it's too late.
