Hiraeth
Musician/band
Have you ever encountered a longing for a place, a feeling of homesickness for the unknown? You may have travelled somewhere and felt the distant hills tugging at your bones, or felt an unfamiliar sensation as the air filled your lungs and taught you that the fragrance of certain grounds on Earth can be unknown yet so familiar.
This sensation, so urgent yet so uncomplicated is... Hiraeth.
With original members, Gareth Reed and Marty du Plessis on vocals, forever balancing and harmonising with one another. Tomé Verschuur, yet another original member, reaching into the deepest depths with his bass guitar.
Benjamin Kun and Ethan Buttrick on guitar, making you question all that you know about music and equally about mathematics. Finally, Aiden Harmse Foyster on drums, making your body groove to the progressive, melodically curated music that is... Hiraeth.
