Apjiw

Since December 2006, Yves Chamberland has been involved with his new project, Apjiw. After 20 years in the shadows as a prolific composer of film scores (e.g., Léa Pool's Lost and Delirious) and music for dance companies including La La La Human Steps, O Vertigo and Marie Chouinard, Chamberland decided he'd had enough of commissioned work. So he took a year off and began composing cinematic ambient electro pieces. His grandmother, of Mi'kmaq heritage, told him that Apjiw means "always" in her Algonquian language.
