TURTLE ISLAND
By Christine Sioui Wawanoloath

One of the creation myths of the world recounts
that a woman descended from the sky to become the grandmother of
all humans.

She was welcomed by the Great Turtle who offered her shell to
make a country for Sky Woman.

Until today North America is called Turtle Island by First Peoples
in memory of this creation myth.

The author was freely inspired by the Wendat version of the legend.
The small turtle clutching to Sky Woman’s womb, the Turtle’s
dream, Woman Healer and Circle Warrior are creations of the author.

An « ethno groovy » musical encounter between an Inuit D.J. from Iqaluit, a traditional throat singer from Nunavik and a Montrealer. Urban rhythms mixed with sounds of the north and Katajaks (throat singing). Visually, it’s just a wink at some “clichés” of the arctic world.

Geronimo Mad Eskimo: He opened the first corn popping evening of the 2006 first people’s festival at SAT.

Vainvard: During the 90’ in New-York, he in many things sang backups for Joey Arias. He presented a solo vocal performance at “Les Nuits Atypiques” of Langon (FR.) in 2002. Sylvain Rivard also know has Vainvard sang the D.J. Mr. Smith at Divers/cité 2006 Sunset Party. He co-wrote “Archéologie Sonore Chants amérindiens” published in 2001 (Éditions 3). You can also hear him on the youth disk/book “Le tour du monde en chansons” (Fides 2003 ) and many documentaries and television projects.  

Tripnotik[Mexico City] :: www.myspace.com/tripnotikproject

The need to explore the diverse forms, textures and
structures within a musical language where the principles of the electroacustics
are applied, was the main reason why this project came to life. Tripnotik
is a project which develops within the grounds of “down-tempo”,
working close to electronic rythms like “trip-hop”. Inside
the band alignment, instruments like synths, bass and electric guitar
are used, besides sequencers, samplers and loops, instead of the drums.
The sound of the band is characteristic for its frecuent use of dark
and deep textures, as well as bizarre atmospheres that takes us to
post- industrial landscapes.
