Scenic Soundscape presents broderbeats live from the Remutaka Range | Te Ara Tirohanga

WHO ARE WE 

Scenic Soundscape is a short-form documentary series sitting at the intersection of music, landscape, and visual storytelling. Each episode films a musical artist performing live in a location that holds personal significance to them, not as backdrop, but as collaborator. The result is a body of work that asks a simple question: what does a place sound like when the artist who was shaped by it performs there?

Episode 02 brings Wellington DJ and producer broderbeats to the summit of the Remutaka Trig Walk in the Remutaka Range, overlooking Wairarapa and Lake Ferry. 

THE ARTIST

broderbeats has built a strong reputation across the Aotearoa music scene, with appearances at Rhythm and Vines and the UMF Radio Stage at the inaugural Ultra New Zealand 2026. His sound is atmospheric and genre-fluid, carrying the texture of the landscapes that surround Wellington. The Remutaka hills are personal.

As a teenager, broderbeats escaped to these ranges to find inspiration and connection with the outdoors. The landscape fed directly into his sound during that formative period. Performing at the summit is not simply a location choice, it is a return to the place that he calls home.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The film will be produced as a single 60-minute video work and will be released on YouTube in October 2026, with a ticketed public screening at Massey University Wellington.
