about

After hearing our 'Satellites' and 'Memory Lake' albums, friend and artist Bob Montgomery asked me if I'd consider writing a track for the short film he was making about Smooth Rock Falls, the small Canadian town he grew up in.

I naturally jumped at the chance, especially when Bob gave me access to the burgeoning collection of photographs, new and old, from Smooth Rock residents past and present.

It occurred to me that it might be nice to have some voice samples on the track from current and former SRF citizens and so I put out a general appeal for the same on Facebook, I had a few contributuions from some generous souls, one of which was Bob himself.

As good as all the voice samples I was sent were, the one outstanding recording I had was from former resident Rene Duguay. As I've said to many people, if I'd scripted and then cast the spoken vocal, I couldn't have hoped for anything better than the delivery and recollections that Rene sent to me. The simple and honest charm of his words made smile every time I worked on the track.

To all the people who still live in SRF, along with former residents and everyone in those bewitching, haunting, priceless photos, I hope we've done you proud. It's weird how we now have a permanent connection with this little town and its people, thousands of miles away and that we've never set foot in.

It's a connection we're happy to have.
