Gathering

Created exclusively for the 2026 imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival in collaboration with Fale FM, Gathering is a two-hour sonic journey designed to accompany moments of connection, reflection, and community.

Drawing from contemporary Indigenous artists and soulful, groove-led sounds from across Turtle Island and beyond, the mix creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that supports conversation without demanding attention. Thoughtfully paced and intentionally curated, Gathering moves through ambient textures, organic rhythms, and emotionally resonant storytelling, reflecting imagineNATIVE's commitment to celebrating Indigenous voices, creativity, and cultural expression.

Curated by Fale FM as an exclusive festival commission, Gathering transforms music from background sound into a shared experience, creating space for audiences, artists, and community members to meet, engage, and connect throughout the festival.
