Soaring Collective to Deliver Immersive Audio-Visual Experience at Totara Street on August 8

Mount Maunganui, NZ – Prepare for a multi-sensory journey as Soaring Collective takes the stage at Totara Street on Thursday, 8 August 2025. Known for their expansive and emotionally rich soundscapes, the band will debut a new live experience that fuses their signature ambient electronica with immersive visual storytelling and professional lighting design. This performance promises to captivate both ears and eyes offering a powerful synthesis of sound and vision.

Evolving Sound, Expanding Lineup
Originally formed by Tauranga-based artists Cian O Cinnseala and Serge Balmer, Soaring Collective has grown from an intimate electronic duo into a dynamic three-piece ensemble. The lineup now features James Bos on drums and Derek Toner on bass and guitar, adding a new layer of live energy and depth to the group’s atmospheric style. Often described as “the soundtrack to a dream you didn’t know you were having,” their music combines lush electronic textures with introspective live instrumentation, inviting the audience into meditative, cinematic soundscapes.

Special Guests: Amelia McNabb and Red Street
Joining the evening are two standout support acts: Amelia McNabb and Red Street both bringing their unique musical voices to the event.

Amelia McNabb, known for her soulful vocals and minimalist production, will open the night with a set that blends indie folk with ambient pop. Her intimate songwriting and haunting stage presence set the perfect emotional tone for the evening.
