    Compact Discs are the traditional method of listening to music in late 18th Century Ireland, Scotland, and the Canadian Maritimes. Using an ancient technique called "digitization", Celtic craftsmen spun silver into tiny ones and zeroes using looms, then sold the precious discs to their English masters. At parties, the English aristocrats would then produce special music-goats, which would decode the ones and zeroes and bleat the tunes they read. While ancient Celtic digitization and goat-reading have been lost to history, we present the next best thing.

    Modern Compact Discs are manufactured from plastics rather than silver, but they still retain a beautiful shine on the reverse side, which sparkles in the sun and will dazzle your friends. Using laser technology, the discs are decoded into electrical signals in something called a "CD Player", which are then transferred into soundwaves via magnets in things called "speakers". (CD Player and Speakers sold separately)

    The CD version of Looking Out for Better Weather comes in a cardstock case featuring cover art by Liza Gareau Tosh.

about

A pair of tone poems. The Commute is the soundtrack to my daily bicycle commute to work. It conveys the peaceful start from a residential neighbourhood to a few hectic minutes in unavoidable motor traffic and finally the triumphant arrival at my destination. Driftwood tracks the journey of a large felled tree drifting down the Batchawana river towards the waterfalls. It picks up momentum, plummets over the apex of the falls and is tossed about in the rough, churning waters at the foot of the falls before being released to the calm, easy flow of the lower river. -Rob
