Trick Of The Light

I’ve been listening as best I can as I’ve been gathering these stories, really leaning in. getting down low and pressing my head into the side of the earth. fire eyes and seashell ears help me translate what I hear in the trails of luminescence, in the walls of the old farmhouse, through the tangled waterways and in the threads of the past into a collection of sonic stories. endless thanks to you all for taking the time to lean in to these stories with me - it’s how they come to life! - biggest thanks to Sandro Perri and the Potential Shufflers House Band who helped me carve these songs into an album! that really was fun. to the other musicians who lent their talents and time and played so beautifully, thank you. thanks to Fedge for your patience, brother Ben and O for your listening ears and Leemor & Sabrina for your thoughtful insights. to the Banff Centre for the Arts on Stoney Nakoda territory for having me time and again, and being a continuous source of inspiration and amazing collaborators. thanks to Cecil Castellucci, Stuart Bremner and Howard Bilerman. to Mary Margaret O’Hara! big thanks to Pearl Rachinsky and Lauren Wright for your creative undertakings. endless thanks to my family. - thank you to Joni at TreeFort Artists **this recording was made possible through assistance of the Music Section of Canada Council for the Arts, FACTOR and the Toronto Arts Council.
