YOU ARE WHAT YOU DREAM by @johnsouthworth__ features my lead vocal with @devonsproule and is out today on all platforms! . I am a huge fan of John’s and gave this song everything I had. The haunting strings and Devon Sproule’s beautiful voice make it something extraordinary. And the lyrics feel somehow very personal, for reasons that will be clear to those who know me. I’m so proud to be a part of this amazing and colossal work. . ALSO I play the role of an old projectionist (of you can believe that!)in episode 4 of the @rialto_reel podcast. . John’s new album will be out Oct 1 on @tinangelrecords . You Are What You Dream and the Rialto Reel podcast are both out today on all platforms. Link in the bio as usual. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #johnsouthworth #tinangelrecords #danielknox #devonsproule #rialtoreel #podcast #singersongwriter #newmusic #strings #youarewhatyoudream #projectionist #greenangel https://www.instagram.com/p/CTNv_ezLkE0/?utm_medium=tumblr

My mom gave me one of those art kit things for Christmas.  There were some watercolor pencils in there so I used them to make this weird comic from my friend Devon Sproule's song 'If I Can Do This'.  That song and the album it's on are the jam but don't listen to it unless you want to sing it to yourself all night and day.

the new single from the new record! colours will be out on sep 23. here's some stuff from an interview we did with american songwriter: Mike: “I had written some music I really liked. I thought it had a bit of a Carole King thing going on, but I didn’t have words that I was happy with. When you have a melody you feel strongly about and you don’t find the words right away, it can be tough. It starts to seem like nothing you come up with is good enough. Luckily for me, Devon wrote words that felt just right, and when I heard her demo, it sounded like a song.” Dev: “Mike and I referred to the song as ‘Mozz,’ because the dynamic between the two characters was sort of like the Salieri/Mozart relationship in the movie “Amadeus.” I think it’s really common to envy another artist’s way of creating. Mike and I had some of that in our writing dynamic, but in a complementing way, because I generally favored lyric-writing and he had melodies practically falling out of his ears. He had already come up with the general idea, plus the music, the melody, and all the harmony parts. So once I got over my initial nervousness at messing with it, it wasn’t too hard to finish the puzzle. I got stuck on the chorus for a while, but it was during a writer’s residency where my husband Paul was working, too, and he helped me get unstuck.”

Devon Sproule's 4 string

I had built a very simple cigar box guitar and wanted to push myself.  I tend to produce better quality when it's for someone else, so I offered to build one for my musician friend Devon Sproule.

This project marked the first for many aspects of my building: scarf joint, piezo rod pickup, volume control, strings-through-the-body design, veneer on the head, and inlay dots.  I did it in early/mid 2012 and have no idea how long it took me, but a lot of research and trial and error went into the project.  

Box: La Aroma de Cuba Monarch

Neck: Maple

Fretboard: Rosewood

Nut: Cow bone cut from my in-law's dog's abandoned chew bone

Inlay dots: hardwood dowel (maple?)

Fretwire: I'm not sure.  I know it was pretty standard stuff I purchased at a supplier here in Toronto.

Tuners: Standard geared tuners purchased at the Twelfth Fret guitar shop in Toronto.

Saddle: Rosewood

Bridge: 1/4-20 bolt

Pickup: Piezo Rod

Pot: 250 K Bourns Audio-Taper Potentiometer

Knob: Used one from Twelfth Fret guitar shop in Toronto.

Jack: Probably from Radio Shack

Jack Plate: Recessed

Sound hole covers: Chrome Screened
