about

This recording was made during a 3 month stay in an old school portable at Gibraltar Point Art Centre on Toronto Island, just a few metres from wide, wild, blue Lake Ontario.

It would not have been possible without the love, support, generosity and thoughtfulness of very many people. I would like to thank my family, especially my parents Sheila and Enzo, and my brother John, the musicians Nick, Cindy, Jennifer, Josh and Claudia, as well as Anna Silverstein, Anna Friz, Angela Rowlings, Colin Clark, Sandro Perri, Dale Morningstar, Ryan Driver, Marcus Quin, Colin Fisher, Dan Whiteley, Amy Millan, Rob Clutton, Thich Nhat Hanh, babies, lovers, parents, friends, enemies, animals, those known and unknown, the roofless farmhouse ruin near our house in Caprino, and the earth it is sinking into.
