about

As little as 1–5% of the forest in Nova Scotia is older than 100 years. In a place where Hemlock and White Pine once towered over 150 metres tall, a 400-year history of clearing land for agriculture and timber has done away with most older forests. Remains of old growth forest are now only found in small, isolated areas, like steep gorges that are inaccessible or areas that are protected in some way.

lyrics

A new day in the wild
The trees are old
The trees are old

Dancing in the breeze
The flowers sway
The flowers sway

Birch bark walls, a maple bed
With sheets of moss, some fiddleheads
Framed with oak and hemlock beams
They’re my home, it’s free

Across the stream branch-to-branch (home, this is our home, this is our home)
My path to home (home, this is our home)
My path to home (this is our home)

I’m falling in the stream (home, this is our home, this is our home)
My wings get wet (home, this is our home)
My wings get wet (this is our home)

Boughs bend and break ou ou
Lost in the wake ou ou ou ou

A new place, bricks and stone
The humans build
The humans build

My last day in the wild
The trees are gone
The trees are gone

Birch bark walls, a maple bed
With sheets of moss, some fiddleheads
Framed with oak and hemlock beams
You took my home

about

Zuppa Halifax, Nova Scotia

We aim to make extraordinary experiences that provoke the consideration of new perspectives and ideas. We prioritize questions over answers, and the discovery of possibility over the depiction of what is. We favour the intuitive over the formulaic and thrive on the play between the imagined and the real.

We are Alex McLean, Ben Stone and Stewart Legere. ... more
