Kiah Hachey and Karen Flaherty are two young Inuit women from Nunavut in Northern Canada. Their magic is the female traditional art of katajjaq. Mostly performed as a duet, this form of throat singing mimics the natural world. Wind, ice, sea and bird sounds dominate.
Three young composers, students at the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar/ studio of electro-acoustic music, joined the duo.
Kiah Hachey – throat singing
Karen Flaherty – throat singing
Paul Hauptmeier – live electronics
Martin Recker – live electronics
Sergio Valencia – sound production
Recorded on 1 July 2015 at the "mon ami", Weimar.
