Tchia

John Robert Matz penned a deeply-researched love-letter to New Caledonia. It was brought to life with native vocalists singing in French and Drehu, featuring a variety of live instruments recorded in-studio and remotely. He crafted a sophisticated open-world music system and designed a fully playable ukulele used for free jam and rhythm-game modes.
