This record was an experiment in distanced collaboration, and a creation born out of necessity. It was also a source of joy and inspiration, when I so desperately needed to be reminded that those possibilities are always available to us - and that we must stay open to the light, even in our darkest times.

I’m grateful to all of my talented and generous friends, who contributed so beautifully to this music, and got me through a period of profound loss and isolation. I was deeply touched by their offerings to the healing power of the collaborative spirit.

I feel as though these 23 soundscapes are the soundtrack to the last two years of my life, expressed in our most intimate language - the vibrations of love.

Everything is going to be OK... even the l e a v i n g.

- GW

Special thanks to:

John Papa, Mike Kanon, Yohei Shikano, Zac Burgenbach, Patrick Shiroishi, Brad Caulkins, Ted Byrnes, Jesse Peterson, Sam Phipps, Carlos Niño and Paco Casanova for being such inventive artists and willing friends - your collective talent made my idea-seeds bloom and this project wouldn't exist without you.

The mastering wizardry of Yohei Shikano during all of those Hut hangs - you pulled together a lo-fi, homespun, Mac-to-Mac mess and gave it some much needed sonic continuity. Digital clicks, be damned!

The graphics vision and chops of Chris Osmunson, who shared in the collaborative spirit with his layout ideas and creative assistance. And to his daughter Hazel for her drawing, “This Sun is Special” - it sure is.

Pete and Debbie at Blue Arrow Records for their friendship, enthusiasm for this project and for giving me an opportunity to get this record out in the world - and for all of the Waterloo Alley Cat Project love, too!
