David Archer

Picture
David is a composer, pianist, producer, and writer based in Daajing Giids. "I'd like you to come to the show," he says. David's creative moods ride the border between serious and absurd. His work is deeply influenced by human responses to the climate crisis, life with a chronic illness, and science fiction. His 2023 album and audio installation, "We Have All the Time on Earth", was featured in a collaborative show with Benedicte Hansen at Saahlinda Naay (Haida Gwaii Museum). That album blends piano music with sounds of the Haida Gwaii biosphere. His 2024 EP, "Radiant", is the result of a year-long obsession with one piece of music by J.S. Bach. You can hear all that, watch a music video, or dig into David's back catalogue of choral and orchestral music by visiting www.davidarcher.net.

Music is the wonderful catalyst that brings us together - in joy, pain, sorrow and celebration.  I grew up with music as the best way to get through the worst and best of times.  From Pete Seeger singing in our living rook to marching for justice, music teaches us, helps us share feelings about what is happening in the world around us, and reminds us of our common humanity.  The biggest joy for me is to hear other voices joining in, finding their way to heal and be brave through sharing sound.  Music is movement, making change and kicking ass!  Come and share a little of  the music I love, some of what I wrote, and help us kick off 2025 with some indignation and hope.

​William Russ, born and raised in Haida Gwaii, the middle of nowhere. An island that forces the creativity out of anybody who enters its mystical boundaries. Or spits them out if it so chooses. For years William tried to run away from this place, to find somewhere new, but he kept being pulled back for one reason or another. Now with roots fully set in place William has transformed himself into something he never could have imagined. He dreamed of being this his entire life. An MC. After years of building his MC and production skills he finds himself back in the Hip-Hop scene and making the scene on Haida Gwaii bigger, and more noticeable to the rest of the world. William "Tycoon" Russ is now collaborating with artists from around the globe; Japan, Portland Oregon, Ontario, and many more to come. He is an excellent producer. An excellent MC. And a true warrior for the culture of Hip-Hop. Inspired by the greats and by those in the underground alike there is nothing about the culture of Hip-Hop that Tycoon doesn't find inspiration from. Back from a recent years long hiatus he is now better than ever. More mature, has more wisdom to share, and funk to provide for all of those who love this incredible culture of Hip-Hop. Be on the lookout for his upcoming album Persevere and many other projects on the horizon. From Haida Gwaii to the rest of the world. Peace.
