qiyuapik, the solo project from Northern Haze’s James Ungalaq, releases his debut solo album, rebel music / E5-2143, out today via Aakuluk Music. The latter half of the album’s title, ‘E5-2143’ was Unjalaq’s disc number. “I had that name when my mother registered me to school, however, they required a colonial or imperial name,” says Ungalaq. “My name on the block is E5-2143. To me it is my inventory number, someone accounted for their responsibility for my existence at that point. Raw in flesh, words have more meanings than one, resilient is a whole lot in meaning. My name is Silu, Qiyuapik, Kangukuluk, Panikpak, Niaaukittuq, Kingusiuq.”
