Creating an Oceanic Songline with a cinematic concert outcome.

From Taiwan to Aotearoa (New Zealand),
Madagascar to Rapa Nui (Easter Island).

These island communities share the common seafaring heritage and Austronesian language. SIBS seeks to create a platform to explore shared culture and voice common concerns.

Artists contributed to each others songs recorded and filmed in natural locations, from Sarawak’s rainforest Sape to a Papua New Guinea Bamboo Ensemble, from New Zealand Maori’s Taonga Puoro to stunning Taiwanese indigenous harmonies, from Rapa Nui’s Jawaiian reggae to an uplifting Kompang group from Singapore!

Resulting in over 9tbs of cinematic footage and multi-tracked music, weaving into 18 collaborative songs to create an album; the songline.
