Maajiigi is a half sound art, half 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 traditional vocals. My inspiration for this track was pulling a story of relevance from my family's experience with the 60s scoop. And how the intergenerational effects and removal from our traditional culture still leaves 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 a song to guide them into themselves. As the track progresses the beat of the drum and voices of their ancestors begin to sing and guide them, the more they settle into themselves. Now out of the darkness, and fully immersed in the sounds that have brought them into unison. They dance in acceptance of who they are and celebrate reclamation of their culture.
