The Cloud Maker brings together five extraordinary female artists in a spellbinding celebration of goddess stories from around the world. Through music, myth, and imagination, they channel ancient tales of fierce battles, shamanic dances and journeys to the afterlife.
Featuring taonga pūoro (Māori singing treasures), bass clarinet, harmonic flutes, cello nyckelharpa, drums, and voices, The Cloud Maker weaves these archetypal stories into an immersive soundscape that transports listeners across time and space — remembering ancient bloodlines and breathing new life into old stories.
Across their journey, these masterful musicians summon the stories of goddesses and mythic women — Mayari the Filipino moon goddess, Freya the Norse goddess of love and battle, Princess Bari the Korean shamanic healer, Miriamthe Jewish prophetess, the Selkies of Irish legend, and Hine Pu Te Hue, the Māori goddess who swallows the storm.
The result is a deeply moving, genre-defying performance — a meeting of ancient myth and modern artistry that celebrates feminine power, ancestral memory, and the universal language of sound.
