This piece is for someone who I admire deeply. I am happy to be publishing my first song here on this medium - a year after picking up a ukulele. Sharing this track in particular is not so much a creative decision as it is my delivery on a promise.

Thank you for listening, and reading. Your comments and critiques are encouraged. I hope you enjoy Courtship.

Some background jargon for any interested gear/tech inclined listeners... The performance and recording are not as polished as they could be, but the structure feels as complete as I have imagined it so far. This was recorded at my apartment in an uncomfortably warm hall closet (conveniently above the furnace and water heaters) with three insulation panels, plus many coats and shoes. I play a Veelah VSO-CCE from Tom Lee Music in Vancouver with a Fishman pre-amp. I mixed the direct output with a Neumann KM185 hypercardiod mic through a Sound Devices 442 mixer into an Mbox 2, using stock Pro Tools 10 Dynamic Delay, D3 Compressor, Spring Reverb, and the EQ3.

Courtship

Two Grey wolves were brought in from the Bowmanville Zoo for a fashion shoot I was recording near Creemore Ontario, these are two males (a big alpha and smaller beta) with nothing nice to say to each other.

Grey Wolf Domestic Dispute

I am a Toronto based live, location and post audio freelancer. I play ukulele and guitar.
