Alibaba Music worked together with 10 Chinese musicians and two Shanghai-based artists to create a limited-edition run of record pressings, handmade from pollution particles.


The album, The Undiscovered, highlighted up-and-coming Chinese artists, and raised awareness about pollution and climate change issues facing China.
