The Call of Mektoub, featuring a soundtrack created by SoundClouders around the world

image

The Call of Mektoub is a story about a wise polar bear named Mektoub who lives in the “Magical Lands of the North.” 

Created by SoundClouder Helen S. Michaelsen, it’s similar to an advent calendar book—there are 24 chapters for each night in December up to Christmas Eve. 

Each chapter also features a soundtrack, composed entirely by a group of SoundClouders from around the world. Take a listen here as Helen adds a new chapter each day to the set.

Help support by purchasing the album or ebook at at the Apple Bookstore or Vook. Part of the sales will be donated to the Make A Wish foundation and the WWF campaign to save the Svalbard polar bears.

We hope you are having a magical month so far. If you have a story or project you’re working on with other SoundClouders, we’d love to hear it.

The incredible support from this community gives me the courage to keep writing and posting, imperfections and all. SoundCloud has kind of changed my life and for that I will be forever grateful. I’ve also had the opportunity to work on some incredible collaborations with some amazingly talented artists.
