The artist who turns wind, birds, and water into collaborators

Corus is an Indigenous sound healer and multidisciplinary artist of Haisla and Kitasoo Xai’xais descent, based in British Columbia. Their work blends Native American flute, crystal singing bowls, and ambient soundscapes into immersive experiences designed to help people slow down and reconnect.

“The Native flute immediately felt like an extension of my breath and spirit,” Corus told Port Moody Pulse. “As an Indigenous person, it became a way to express emotion without words and reconnect with nature. The crystal singing bowls came later — together they created something that felt complete. Earth and breath meeting resonance and stillness.”

For Art Out Side, Corus presented Ancestral Sound Currents — a live sound journey weaving flute, bowls, and ambient soundscapes in an outdoor setting where nature became a collaborator, not a backdrop. “The wind, birds, trees, and water aren’t distractions — they become collaborators,” Corus said.

“I hope they leave feeling just a little lighter than when they arrived.”
