Tanya Tagaq's Aorta video is a tribute to Norway's Vigeland

Will McGuirk November 23, 2015

Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq has released the video for "Aorta" from her album Animism. Tagaq along with Owen Pallett will perform at Massey Hall in Toronto Dec. 1 2015. Tagaq is among the most visceral of performers and this show is a hot ticket as the kids say. The video is a tribute to Norwegian artist Emmanuel Vigeland. 

Tagaq says "This video was made to pay homage to Emmanuel Vigeland, whose frescos fill his own mausoleum. The frescos depict life from conception to death. This penetration of the unsaid philosophies of life in conjunction with the outstanding acoustics of the room has inspired my own work since visiting there in 2002. Hopefully we encapsulate the darkness and the light to his liking."
