Puvirnituq: The Arctic Village with a Haunting Name That Inspired My Music

admin / December 29, 2012

Deep in the Canadian Arctic, far beyond the reach of highways, lies Puvirnituq — a small Inuit community in Nunavik on the Povungnituk River, just before it meets Hudson Bay. With a population of around 1,700 people, this remote northern village is one of the most isolated places in Quebec, Canada. But what makes Puvirnituq unforgettable is its name. In Inuktitut, Puvirnituq translates to “place where there is a smell of rotten meat.” This striking name comes from ancient stories passed down through generations. Some believe it refers to a tragedy when a herd of caribou drowned in the river, their bodies later washing ashore and decomposing near the settlement. Others say it recalls a deadly epidemic, when too many people died at once and there were not enough survivors to bury them. Both stories highlight the raw survival struggles of Inuit culture in the far North. Creating Music in Nunavik In October, I spent a month in Puvirnituq, completely surrounded by tundra and silence. With no road access and minimal distractions, it felt like being on the edge of the world. This unique setting became the birthplace of one of my tracks. Composing in the Canadian Arctic was unlike any other creative experience. The vast landscapes, the cold winds, and the quiet resilience of the Inuit community shaped my sound in ways I couldn’t have imagined. It was here that I truly understood the power of music inspired by nature. https://youtu.be/c2GugxGSlPw?list=PLgTMzeseXvTyLrD7MMz0CQKJRs7OSFDAx Connecting the Arctic to Japan Through Photography While working on this project, I chose to pair my music with visuals from a good friend living in Japan. His passion is urban exploration photography (urbex) — capturing abandoned places in Japan, forgotten towns, and decaying buildings overtaken by time. Strangely enough, his photos mirror the feelings I had in Nunavik travel — isolation, beauty, and the haunting presence of history. Both the abandoned cities of Japan and the frozen tundra of northern Quebec tell silent stories about resilience, memory, and survival.

My month in this remote Inuit village not only gave me new music but also connected me to the shared atmosphere of Inuit culture and urbex exploration from the other side of the planet. Sometimes the harshest, most remote places — whether the tundra of Nunavik or the ruins of Japan — can spark the deepest creativity.

Charles Manson’s Twisted Words Inspired This Experimental Track + Videos

admin / November 12, 2012

https://youtu.be/3H4SLGB9_JQ Was Charles Manson a Madman or a Mirror to Society? His Words Inspired This Sound Experiment “There’s nothing to prove. Every man judges himself… They can play like they stand in judgment and control the masses with your human body. They can persecute you, put you in cages or on crosses like in the past—but they’re only persecuting a reflection of themselves. They’re only persecuting what they can’t stand to see in themselves…”— Charles Manson Charles Manson—what a strange and disturbing figure. I don’t agree with his beliefs or actions, but there’s something undeniably haunting about his raw, chaotic philosophy. That intensity inspired me creatively—not in message, but in atmosphere. For my second E.P., I created a track titled “Manson Confession”, which captures that eerie, confrontational energy. It’s not about glorifying Manson—it’s about transforming unsettling thoughts into sound. Sometimes, inspiration comes from the darkest corners—not to celebrate them, but to confront and transform them.
