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 ⬇⬇
Tsimka & Michael Red with CBC in Port Alberni
In January 2025, Tsimka & I did a project put together by CBC Vancouver Island that had us play a show at the Capital Theatre and do a language & music workshop at Haahuupayak School in Port Alberni. The entire experience was beautiful and fluid and rich with meaning.
Many milestones achieved - our first concert with just us on the bill (and a full house too!), our first workshop we co-facilitated together (which went extremely well), and our first time with a conversation component to our show (which felt great and really helped give context and better meaning to what we do). Huge thanks to Haahuupayak School and the Tseshaht & Hupacasath Nations for hosting us, and for the dedication and hard work from CBC through coordinating it all.

There are four CBC Radio Pieces that can be live streamed from their site at any time (that aired in February), here: PART 1 / PART 2 / PART 3 / PART 4
And some of the sounds recorded with the Haahuupayak School students is here on soundcloud.
