As many creative people know, limitations can actually enhance creativity, and with that in mind I gave myself a rule for this record: all sounds had to be acoustic in origin. If it didn’t get bowed, plucked, hit, blown on or through, or otherwise vibrate the air before being recorded, it wouldn’t go on the record. Modern production tools still gave me a lot of options for processing the sounds, and the result is this somewhat weird, difficult and moody collection recorded over a gloomy southern Ontario winter. It came out more like a soundtrack, with plenty of recurring motifs and themes.

Thanks for listening.
