about

Maajiigi was a piece commissioned by the Media Arts Committee of Vancouver for their yearly compilation. Which can be heard below.

mediaartscommittee.bandcamp.com/album/secrets-revealed-secrets-kept

Majiigii is a half sound art, half full sound system based production. The track starts from minimal ambient swells and sounds of nature. Eventually building into a full dynamic track introducing synths, big drums, bass, and familiar traditional vocals. My Inspiration for this track was pulling a story of relevance from my family's experience with 60s scoop. And how the intergenerational effects and removal from our traditional culture still leave lingering feelings on so many of us to this day. I aimed to tell a story of a person in the dark removed from their culture and unsure about their place in the world. With dark ominous pads swelling around them, they continue to pray and listen to the sounds of the elements, waiting for the song to guide them into themselves. As the track progresses more and the beat of the drum and voices of their ancestors begin to sing and guide them, the more they settle into themselves. Eventually out of the darkness, and fully immersed in the sounds that have brought them into unison. There’s an acceptance of who they are and a reclamation of their culture.
