Blue Planet
Blue Planet is a 4:17 minute multimedia digital experience (photo, film, music, sound effects, lyrics) designed as a short piece on the environmental crisis.
It is a part of a longer collection of sound and visual narratives composed and performed by author-musician Anne E. Witte (Pseudonym “Rosewood Music”), including 8 musical/visual stories, each related to the passage of time. Blue Planet is essentially a vocal and keyboard ballad, emphasizing the “time is running out” theme on a background of inspirational photo, video and painting.
The musical signature of this mature singer/songwriter features mezzo-soprano vocals and choirs on piano-based compositions, set against symphonic orchestrations and cinematic soundscapes. Crossing genre (pop, jazz, contemporary, electronic and classical music), the style seeks a universal appeal crossing age groups and cultures.
Blue Planet was professionally mixed and mastered in the Brooklyn studio “Wave Labs”. Each individual song has been copyrighted with the US Copyright Office and has its own SCC account registered in France.
