Disclaimer

I started blogging with Blogger in 2005 and slowed down as I reached my blogging end in 2010. I have attempted to save all the blog entries in monthly archive pages. It's quite interesting to go back and see my novice, naive enthusiasm for music making and playing, as well as travelling. I also notice that I used a lot of exclamation marks! I must have been excited. For a while, anyway... I note that I slowed down quite a bit from 2008 onward; the momentum of my first batch of songs—written, released, and toured—had worn off. Also, I was amidst my first real bout of homesickness—I was living in New Zealand. A couple other things to note. Some of my spelling is American rather than British/Canadian (I'm Canadian). Regrettably, I note that I used the word "tits" a lot—for a while—without being conscious of how senseless, unnecessary, and thoughtless doing so was. Please take what you read with these grains of salt. Return to the root/index of the blog.

Podcast: Silent

I wrote this song while living in Wellington, New Zealand, over 2006 and 2007. It's based upon memories of Australia in 2005.

Rachael Linton joins me with her wandering cello on this recording, which is owned by, and copyright of, Radio New Zealand. This is actually an excerpt of a live interview/performance that can be heard in full on the Radio New Zealand National website. I'm not certain that I'm allowed to make this excerpt available on my podcast; for now here it is.
