Music From Tomorrow Morning Project Sunrise Te Whitinga o te Ra

28 October 2020 - 0 Comments

Songbroker is pleased to present Music From Tomorrow Morning. Project Sunrise Te Whitinga o te Ra is a Songbroker initiative to create the world’s first new body of musical expression from one of the first countries in the world to see the dawning of a new day.

"Given that Aotearoa is the first place to see the new day, we wanted to be the first to create a new, optimistic, forward-looking body of music and create a unique opportunity to support our artists in these challenging times,” says Project Sunrise project manager, Jan Hellriegel.

With the generous support of Creative New Zealand, Songbroker Music Publishing commissioned 28 songwriters & composers from among its own membership to write and record a piece of music within 14 days, with the starting brief: "How it feels to be lucky enough to live in the first place in the world to feel the warmth of the ‘new light’." They were also asked to send in video diaries, photos of sunrises from their corner of NZ, plus artworks and other creative musings while they worked on their music.


"It was truly exciting to receive all of the finished songs and marvel at how different they all were in their style and approach." says Hellriegel. "This collection captures the broad diversity of New Zealand music, touching all communities and spanning all music genres represented in our culture – from pop to waiata and soundscape, contemporary classical and folk to affro beat, this is a celebration of New Zealand music in all its wonderful shapes and colours in 2020."

The twenty eight diverse and talented kiwi artists selected for the challenge were Abe & Junelle Kunin, Ahjay Stelino, Albi & the Wolves, Amy Bowie, Ben King, Bevan Smith, Catherine Tunks, D.Matthews, Darryn Harkness, David Kilgour, Das Fernz (Dee Taylor & Paul Edwards), Dylan Storey, Ed Waaka, Francisca Griffin, Greg Fleming, Henika, Hunter, Ivan Luketina-Johnston, Jay Clarkson, Jonathan Crayford, Kenington, Li'l Chuck (feat. Johnny G & Drummie D), Maree Sheehan, Pillows of Creation, Serpico, Scott J Mason, Steve Tofa and Tom Ludvigson.

Music from Tomorrow Morning is now available on Spotify. Each single will have its own spotlight release in the 28 days following the album's release.
