about

This CD was recorded in various studios, beaches, bushes and big rooms around Auckland, New Zealand. In the 1990's I made 8 trips to Aotearoa (land of the long white cloud) and during these trips met singer / songwriter Bonnie Low. After hearing her songs and dreaming together, i was very excited at the prospect of producing this project which brought musicians and singers together from the Maori and pakeha (incoming people) communities.
