	2. The project began in 2019 when Lee and Schmidt started performing as a duo with a rotating roster of drummers, which allowed for a constantly fresh and dynamic performance environment. "This project was born out of Cole and I playing in each other's bands," explains Lee. "We decided to regularly get together to play as a duo, regardless of whether there was an upcoming gig or not. We would improvise and workshop new compositional ideas." Schmidt adds, "The initial idea came together as a way of expanding on a book of music we had started working on, to include others' improvising voices. It's about welcoming change, blame, mercy, and the agency to try things differently"

As Lee explains, "Two events happened that impacted our practice: I began to spend part of the year in Melbourne, and then the worldwide pandemic hit. Like many others, we continued to collaborate via home recordings sent back and forth, each contributing to and building on the other's compositions. This approach allowed us to include musicians in multiple locations, creating a multi-layered and textured sonic experience." Schmidt notes that their recording sessions took place in iconic studios in Vancouver and Montreal, environments that contributed to the album's unique sound. "We were in good hands at these studios and understood that a lot of historic musical energy and storytelling had taken place in those rooms," says Schmidt. "We hope audiences will hear the respect and balance shared in the writing, along with the generous contributions from all the guests involved."
