Sebastian Plano creates moving ocean-centred composition for new charity campaign

A new collaboration between Mercury KX and Sebastian Plano has been released to raise money for the charity Surfers Against Sewage.

The song is part of the new Keynvor campaign (it's named after the Cornish word for 'ocean') and is a moving and unique collaboration for an incredibly important cause.

The whole project is "intrinsically linked" to the coast and arrives in association with Havas London and Sharp's Brewery Atlantic Pale Ale. 100% of the proceeds from sales and streams of the track will be donated to Surfers Against Sewage, which aims to raise money to fight various issues, including plastic pollution and coastal erosion.

Berlin-based composer Plano has mixed sounds and samples from the ocean into a brand new piece - it's a breathtaking release combining electronic, organic, and found sounds.

"I took the sound of waves hitting the rocks to create the beat and all the rhythmic elements of the piece are sounds of the ocean," says Plano. "The sea has so much power and I wanted to convey this in my music."

"Preservation" is out now via Mercury KX/Decca Publishing. You can get it on iTunes.
