I ditched work for the afternoon and just spent time in the studio - a luxury, for sure. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring the afternoon I got into some pretty decent zones and then something clicked. This entire 49-minute piece is a chunk of that afternoon. It's a single shot, live improvisation of just Pro One + Sherman Filterbank (the deadliest combo in my arsenal). I liked the piece a lot, but sat on it for a bit thinking that it had potential for something more. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the spring, after Foxy Digitalis relaunched I became acquainted with Toronto multi-instrumentalist Colin Fisher. I interviewed him for the site about his then-new solo record and we just kind of hit it off and kept in touch. I had originally thought about asking my old friend, Mike Weis, if he'd play drums on this, but it was around that time Colin started doing IG-live streams of him just going all out on drums. Another idea clicked. I asked him if he'd want to give it a shot and he was game. Since my part was 100% improvised, he decided not to listen to it at all before recording - he just hit play \u0026amp; record and went for it. It worked so well. And so I sat on it\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e some more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFast forward to late in 2021 and I got an email with a promo from Catherine Sikora. I've been a big fan of hers and was really excited to be in touch. I knew I wanted to review what she sent me because it blew me away immediately and proposed we do an interview, too. During that period we got to know each other a little and felt a positive creative connection. I had always thought it would be amazing if this piece had some horn carnage on it so I figured, what the hell - let's see if she'd be up for it. She was excited to do it and so I sent off the files and a month later, I got her contribution back. Like Colin, she didn't listen to it at all first and her take is completely improvised. She is amazing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2235409960\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ramblerecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/recherche\"\u003eRecherché by Catherine Sikora, Colin Fisher, \u0026amp; Brad Rose\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Ramble Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45249424654406,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/4210\/3622\/files\/a2872157806_1x1_700.avif?v=1782726147","url":"https:\/\/ramblerecords.com\/products\/catherine-sikora-colin-fisher-brad-rose-recherche-cd","provider":"Ramble Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
