Tumivut, the direct translation to english means "our footsteps" and is the name of a musical project marrying traditional inuit throatsinging with multiple contemporary styles of music. The ranges of music that Tumivut dip in and out of borrows from hip-hop, trip-hop, classical, rock and new frontiers of the avant garde. Timeless and beautiful traditional inuit throatsinging of Cynthia Pitsiulak and Charlotte Qamaniq-Mason seamlessly weaves in and out of the musical soundscapes created by the production team of Orick Terry and Daybi.

Four lives that took the time to acknowledge each other's diverse backgrounds and talent over a couple of weeks on the Plateau of Montreal is how this project was born. Day after day of sculpting sounds and music into frames that would not stifflel or dishonor the tradional people of Nunavut's music was top priority and on the mind of all involved. Attention to detail and care went into each audio offering making for simple yet moving and powerful music that was built to enhance on compliment the complex rhythm and sounds of the throatsinging duo.

Tumivut was not a pre-conceived idea it was born from the right time and place. It also was never inteded to be a commercial release. With that being said all things happen for a reason and just like the music naturally occured so did it's path for success. It is with great pleasure that we can annouce a release date for Tumivut on Arbor Records as of Spring,2008. So hopefully you can share "our footsteps" over and over again. The first single and video "Movement" is slated for realease at least one month prior to the album release date so keep your eye out for that.
