Escape with the Sound of Lapland
If you’re one of the many people who’ve spent the last year working from their home or remote offices, you might be feeling a bit of “Zoom fatigue.” And while changing your backgrounds can give your video calls a bit more pep, we’ve all seen those stock backgrounds and featureless blur a thousand times by now. That’s why we’re offering video call backgrounds inspired by our album SCAPES. Now you can take your conference out of the virtual boardroom and into wild and wonderful Finnish Lapland.
Lapland in your ears
Static images not enough for you? Scroll down to immerse yourself in the Sound of Lapland with our Spotify album, YouTube videos and more.
With our album SCAPES, you can travel to Finnish Lapland with the push of a button. Just pop in your Airpods and be swept away to the north of Finland, where the relaxing nature and ambient sounds of Lapland will soothe your soul and refresh your spirit.
Scroll down for music videos and additional background information.
What’s more immersive than the sounds of Lapland? How about a fully 3D Arctic experience where you can
goggle at the Northern Lights, meet Arctic wildlife and explore the interplay between the seasons and the wilderness.
Snow Giants
It’s like being a child again, passing through the giant, snow-crowned trees. The crispy air is still, and the only thing you can hear are your own footsteps and the call of some far-off bird. And of course, the happy huffs and puffs of your furry friend, just happy to be outside with you.

Ice Jam
After the long blinding days of winter comes the warm promise of spring. The rivers creak and crack, dark waters giggling below, a strange soft song for those who hear it.

Royal Family
The light wind carries a hint of chill and a hint of woodsmoke, a reminder that summer has not quite arrived. Free to wander in peace, the family gathers round for a royal meal of their favorite food. As children play underfoot, the air filling with their soft honks, the herd discusses not much of anything at all, content to enjoy their lichens in the sunshine.

Midnight Rider

Whispering Waters
Bobbing in the middle of the lake, you lift the paddle from the gentle waters. You didn’t come out here to exercise, to fish, to swim. You just wanted a small escape from the noise, from the clutter, from constant notifications. Here, the tweets come from actual birds, and the only stream you worry about is the one slowly carrying you farther downriver.
