Further From Home

The track Further From Home conveys the hopefulness of arriving in Canada, the confusion of living there, and the wistfulness of leaving. Scott played the toneful melody on an acoustic octave mandolin. He recorded it in his living room using a field recorder, likely while waiting for his wife to finish getting ready for an outing. The music overlays recordings of various transportation experiences, from getting situated on an airplane to crossing Halifax Harbour by ferry to walking the city’s truck-infested Lower Water Street.
