about

These are some of the final documentative recordings from legendary Toronto house venue "The Museum of Natural Mystery." Recorded between Sep 16th 2020 to Mar 1st 2021. We no longer hosted shows, I adopted a neglected garden, our landlord was about to tear down the house... strange times.

There was a period of darkness in that house where a few of my roommates were addicted to opiates and fighting all the time. I used to spend a lot of time with their old dog Lou. Poor poochy. He probably saved them from going off the deep end...This was an exceptionally trying time for me as well, as I was struggling with issues of Morality and Worldview after having willed a mental breakdown to escape a framework which would have killed me. I had to rebuild.

I credit the NEW roommates Ryan Visser and Devin Van Dusen (who replaced the opiate addicts) for their exceptional patience, their unending honesty, and for always keeping things light, even in the heaviest of hours. Sometimes lately it feels like we are 2 minutes to midnight, but like Flight of the Concords always said, "2 minutes in heaven is better than 1 minute in heaven".
