Farr created Tangata o le Moana as the soundtrack to the long-term exhibition of the same name at Wellington's Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, about the first journeys by Pacific people to New Zealand. Usually translated as "people of the sea", Tangata o le Moana's evocative electronic soundscape features a Tahitian karanga/karakia (call/incantation).
