About

PIQSIQ

(pronounced ‘pilk-silk)

With a style perpetually galvanized by darkness and haunting northern beauty, sisters Tiffany Kuliktana Ayalik and Kayley Inuksuk Mackay, come together to create Inuit style throat singing duo, PIQSIQ. Performing ancient traditional songs and eerie new compositions, they leave their listeners enthralled with the infinity of possible answers to the question “what is the meaning of life.” With roots in Nunavut’s Kitikmeot and Kivalliq Regions, the sisters grew up in Yellowknife where endless sunlight shines for two short summer months and deep, wintery darkness consumes the rest of the year.

In Inuktut, a ‘piqsiq’ is a type of storm where winds blow in a very specific way, making it look like the snow is falling back up towards the sky.
