KARL TEARIKI

I am a composer / music producer seeking opportunities to share my skills, abilities and experience to contribute artistic support, logically intuitive synergy, intelligent creative syzygy.
 

I am musically versatile, fluent in many genres, delivering artistically crafted music for individual audiences and media.

I can supply the music you need for the delivery platform of your choice

 

My most recent album release 'Te Manu' was awarded Best Maori Pop Album at the 2014 Waiata Maori Awards.

 

My own original music could be described as 'Polynesian Fusion' from the Maori and Polynesian influence in feel, sound design, imagery and underlying concepts. A deep passion for my Polynesian heritage and its history is reflected in the due diligence I apply to this area of my research.

I particularly enjoy drawing upon natural influences, stories and thought processes to compose music that recalls the Maori and Polynesian cosmological world view.

I descend from the tribes of Ngati Kahungunu ki Heretaunga, Ngati Raina ki Takitumu, Ngati Pahauwera, Ngati Hinemanu, Ngati Poporo, Te Whanau a Ruataupare, Ngatiarua ki Mauke, Papeno'o i Tahitinui.

I invite you to listen to examples of my work and I look forward to hearing from you.
