Harmonie's first instrument was Harmonica over 30 years ago and she learned to play guitar and songwrite in order to support the harp. She made a cd called "Island Time" in 2007 while parenting her first four children, and had two more after that, all born here. Harmonie loves the outdoors, adventuring and music and dancing of course!

When Ca isn’t playing music in Glitter and Mould or witching around in swamps for film, she has been known to be found twirling in he air in acrobatic performances, dancing as a swan in operas, animating stop motion hearts and beets doing the ballet and many other strange and wondrous things. She dwells like a hermiting troll in Sandspit along with her large array of handcrafted masks, headdresses, costumes and puppets.

They were discovered in the bog near Masset, Haida Gwaii, where they lived on the dash of an old abandoned car seeking waves to slide down. With Seb Dalgarno on guitar/vocals, Finlay Smith on Guitar, Jay Myers on bass and Marcus Alexander on the flowerpots, they developed a sound somewhere between dream-country and bog-swing, all sprinkled with tales of the north: post-apocalyptic bogscapes, tsunami evacuations, cars ditched in the sand, and riverbank blues.
