Dear Wintergatan Patrons,
Chris here from Team Wintergatan. We are happy to announce that the track “Nattöppet” from Martin’s previous band “Detektivbyrån” is used to present Olafur Eliasson’s newest artwork Earth Speakr.
Earth Speakr is a collective artwork that invites kids to be artists & speak up for the planet and our environment.

This was especially fun for Martin who loved the "Abstract" design series produced by Netflix in general and Olafur Eliassons episode of season 2 in particular, check that out here:

Fun fact: Martin has been using the “Decimal” font in the Wintergatan Youtube videos made by Jonathan Hoefler after seeing the typography episode in the Abstract series:

Detektivbyrån
We thought this would be a good moment to share Detektivbyrån’s music with you all, Detektivbyrån made two albums, “E18 EP” and the Swedish Grammy Nominated “Wermland”.
Listen to all the 22 Detektivbyrån songs at any digital music Distributor:

Earth Speakr
Over the next six months, everyone can download the Earth Speakr app and animate their environment using playful interactive technology. Kids and young people below the voting age can choose to take part by giving their voice to anything – a tree, a banana peel, the sky, or the street – and speak up for their local surroundings and for the planet. Their creative messages are shared on www.earthspeakr.art and experienced on the app via Augmented Reality (AR).
The Earth Speakr app is available on: App Store; Google Play
We are delighted to be part of this great project!
Thank you all again for your invaluable support, take care!
Chris Nadon / Team Wintergatan
