First Feature-Length Film Composer Credit

The first feature-length film scored. This film is EXCELLENT and full of crucial knowledge that has real potential to shift minds and patterns towards better ways. So much heart and good energy behind this work, with a great feeling team and flow at every step of the way. This film is rich with lesser-heard history and context from the Qathet Area, featuring difficult and hard-to-face truths that are framed in a very generous and open way, creating tangible potential to help move the needle towards better understandings and more sober-eyed strategies around certain unfortanate current realities.

Music in EMERGENCE

Very happy to have music in Nova Ami & Velcrow Ripper's latest film Emergence. A handful of tracks made with Tsimka and one track made with Skeena Reece. The full film can be watched on the Knowledge Network now (for free).

Music in 'The Good Canadian'

Honoured to have a track, 'Fog' with Tsimka, in an excellent new documentary from Leena Minifie & David Paperny. It's not an easy watch, but it's important one, especially for non-indigenous people who identify as canadian. the full film is easily streamed on youtube in the link below ⬇⬇

Oro Azul music in an excellent short documentry

Thrilled to share that two Oro Azul songs are featured in the short documentary SHIRINGA: Fashion Regenerating Amazonia, a Collective Fashion Justice film, now streaming on Water Bear and extended networks.

The short film follows the Awajún people of the Peruvian Amazon who work with Caxacori Studio to create a bio-leather that supports their community, defends against deforestation, and offers the fashion industry a much needed alternative to the harmful animal-derived leather and plastic materials currently being used.

The film has collected several handfuls of awards. Grateful for the oppertunity.🌿
