Sisters Mabel and Ivy Windred-Wornes have been making music as Charm of Finches since they were children. Now seasoned touring artists with four albums under their belts, they swing by The Music Show studio to play live and tell Andy about the joy of singing in unison, and why they’re drawn to really dark stories.
Comprised of five female musicians The Cloud Maker transports listeners through song, using cello, drums, clarinet and Taonga Pūoro (Maori Singing Treasures) to channel the power of breath, collaboration and the energy of the moon. Taking inspiration from folkloric takes and their relationship to music, the Cloud Maker celebrates goddesses across Maori, Filipino, Jewish and Irish cultures with an eerie, and at times fierce, musical performance.
Andrew Ford speaks to Te Kahureremoa Taumata, Aviva Andean and Freya Schack-Arnott following a performance at Judith Neilson’s Phoenix Central Park.
