about

‘The New North’ was written for Minus 40, a project pairing artists and musicians with National Film Board of Canada films. For it, we re-scored 1946’s ‘The New North,’ a piece of wartime propaganda about the building of the Alaska-Canadian Highway. The original song featured samples of the film’s narration, but for this mix, we decided to revisit the original instrumental version of the song. We didn’t add anything new, but we re-did the mix from the ground up.

hellothisisalex Hamilton, Ontario

hellothisisalex is Melissa Creasey and Mark Prier. Together, they write bizarro electro-pop infused with whimsy, a love of pop music, experimental audio, and a northern-robot esthetic. In February 2001, they christened themselves ‘hellothisisalex.’
