Tsimka & Michael Red is a collaboration of music from the land and from the heart (and knowing and listening). Tsimka sings and speaks and sometimes plays a drum. Most lyrics are in Tsimka's
heritage language Tla-o-qui-aht ƛaʔuukwiʔatḥ.ḥ Her themes deal with love, cleansing, healing, liberation through imagining and more.
Michael creates and reveals music & atmospheres with the natural sounds recorded by Tsimka from her ƛaʔuukwiʔatḥ home territory, and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh territory. Breaking ice as light percussive rhythm, bull kelp head explosions becoming kick drum patterns, a Squamish valley wolf, a large cat in the dark. Cixwatsac (Frank Island frogs), Swainson's Thrush, other birds. a little creek at Hiłwinʔis, ocean, rain and mist Tsimka's voice is also used as an instrument through live fx and is embedded in Michael's pre-made production (which is dubbed out and layered and effected live). Words and tones and expressions are shaped and woven into all layers of the sonic fabric, from deeply embedded to very visible.
DJ Driem (Aaron Handford) is a producer of organic electronica, deep house & downtempo bass whose festival credits include Burning Man, Pachena Bay, Valhalla Fest, Burn In The Forest, Otherworld, & SubLunar and releases on the Visionary Shamanics and Lump Records label. He is inspired by the intersection of the traditional musical legacies of Africa, India, Europe and the Middle East with modern sample based electronic music making methods and is an active music producer. He enjoys collaborating with vocalists and instrumentalists to co-create musical journeys. His artistic goal is to forge connections between the spheres of deep house, downtempo global bass music, jazz, and world rhythms.
