about

This record was made on a warm, sunny day in April of 2007. I never released it digitally until today. It features some of the most mesmerizing string quartet arrangements by Owen Pallett (performed by Bethany Bergman, Jenny Thompson, John Marshman, Karen Moffatt), vocals by Daniela Gesundheit, synths by Ryan Driver and production by David Travers-Smith. Additional bass by Joe Phillips and percussion by Mark Duggan. It was intended to be recorded live-off-the-floor with no overdubs, and we were meant to have 3 days at Canterbury Sound to do so, but a double booking snafu caused us to scramble to find another studio at the last minute. CBC Studio 211 in Toronto was available, but for only one day. Lucky for me, I was surrounded by a stellar ensemble that was ready to go, and we were able to stay true to the concept. I wanted the music to stay as honest as possible, to document that basic and beautiful thing that happens when, after much preparation, it somehow all melds together – is that alchemy? I'm exceptionally fortunate to have worked with such talented, committed and generous collaborators. Hope you enjoy it as much as I loved making it.
