 Music 
The YAIMA Music Project
Featuring Multi-Instrumentalist & Producer Masaru Higasa and Vocalist Pepper Proud has often been described as timeless and unmistakable, offering a balanced synergy of both the masculine and feminine expression. Their melodious soundscapes showcase instruments from all over the world. Inspired by the Majesty of Nature their musings encompass the listener with driving and revitalizing organic rhythms, transcendent electronic production, warm soothing female vocals and heartened lyricism.
​
Their intention is to create a bridge between Nature and Humankind, an expansive experience that encourages growth and graceful passage for the hearts and minds of their listeners.
​
The name YAIMA emerges from two sources
one from the Mapudungun language meaning “that which water runs through” and the other from the culturally preserved Yaeyama District of Okinawa Japan. Now, YAIMA’s music has been reaching the ears and hearts of listeners from all around the world.

Emergence Music
Emergence is a modern, ancestral-folk musical collective comprised of Hanna Elise and Cody Wicks, along with other part-time members and special guests (Tanya Devine) as they emerge. With singer-songwriter roots and classical technique, Hanna’s vocals soar with clarity and beauty over Cody’s intricate and textured rhythms. Through written songs and skillful improvisation, Emergence offers prayers for unity and peacemaking with all sentient beings and our Mother Earth. Reaching back and below to the stories and songs from the Celtic and mixed-European cultural traditions of our lineages for guidance, Emergence’s music invites the old ways to court the new.
