Canoeing (OST) by With Child

In 2013 I received a scroll through the mail that contained sheet music for two traditional Canadian folk songs.

Maria Chavez and Eli Craven were preparing work for their upcoming exhibition "Canoeing", and asked if I'd create performances from the sheet music, both of which dealt directly with canoe voyage.

I intentionally avoided listening to, or studying the source material, and focused solely on the lyrical content.
I pulled out my boombox and hit record.
