This concert documentary was filmed in May 2021 in front of a sold-out audience at the recently restored Christchurch Town Hall. Tiki Taane collaborated with the 50 piece Christchurch Symphony Orchestra to reimagine 13 compositions from his back catalogue, including his breakthrough 2008 hit 'Always on My Mind'. In this trailer, an energetic Taane is joined by some musical guests. In what may be a first for an orchestra, he also performs some 'live looping'. Taane directed and produced, as well as starring. The film was invited to multiple international festivals.
I don't read sheet music, I just memorise it all and see it all in my head as colours and sounds. The orchestration of ‘Always On My Mind’ ... I'm used to a beat, but this is freeform, with strings.– Musician Tiki Taane on reimagining his pop hit 'Always on My Mind', Stuff, 21 May 2021
