Info

Do you play an instrument? Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a professional musician touring with bands and building a career playing the instrument you love?

Then this is the event for you! Open to ALL ages and ALL abilities. Great Lake Music Co. are bringing Tiki Taane to Taupō to showcase his music, chat about his extensive career in the music industry and have a jam with you!

Get Live! Is an annual workshop hosted by Great Lake Music Co. with support from the Taupō Creative Community Scheme, Cafe Lacus and Red Cymbals Australia designed to get your inner musician inspired. We are stoked to be joined by Tiki Taane this year.

One of the most well known and diverse artists and producers in Aotearoa (NewZealand), Tiki Taane (Ngāti Maniapoto / MacDuff) is considered to be an influential element in the pioneering of Aotearoa’s bass culture, as well as the country’s most prolific genre-bending experimentalist.

First hitting the stage in 1991, Tiki went on to become the live engineer and eventually frontman of leading band Salmonella Dub in 1996, which catapulted Tiki to embark upon a life changing solo career that saw his music and production skills reach record breaking, award winning heights.

What to expect:

Each workshop includes a showcase by Tiki Taane and a Q&A session hosted by local legend Ashley Pirie, where we get to learn all about Tiki’s musical journey. This is followed by the Red Cymbals open jam session where we have multiple drum kits set up for you to have a go jamming on no matter what your level is, as long as you feel confident holding a beat you can get involved. There will also be keys, guitar and bass ready to go for our intermediate to advanced players, and as chaotic as it sounds this is the most fun part of each session! There will be teachers from Great Lake Music Co. there to help keep things flowing and it’s totally cool if you’d rather be there to just watch and be inspired rather than get behind an instrument.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
