It has been ten thousand years since I've updated this neglected corner of the internet. In the intervening years many things have happened. The album came out and it was shockingly well received. Thanks world. I got to go on tour with one of my personal musical heroes - Timber Timbre. That was wonderful. We had a big CD release in Toronto. I went home to my parents place and we cut up deadfall to make about 20 life size trees, which we then scattered around the Tranzac. We found a homemade bird and suspended it above the stage. I recorded crickets, coyotes, birds, and wind, and played the sounds on mp3 players I hid around the room. We got two stages going. On one, Lisa Bozikovic and Snowblink did their gorgeous thing, and on the main stage we had Weird Weather and Muskox featuring Isla Craig.
What else has happened? We got to play Apple Crisp in Kingston, and it somehow managed to be one of my favourite shows ever. We played the fantastic Gordon Best Theatre in Peterborough. We played a horrible show in Ottawa. Alone, and fighting a bad cold, I travelled east with Timber Timbre, playing Sherbrooke to a shockingly fantastic crowd, Sackville, lovely as always, Halifax twice, and PEI twice.
I couldn't have imagined a better spring.
