As Small As Ants is a collection of songs created over the course of 2020, 2021, and 2022. Up until now, music for me has been a nearly exclusively independent process. With this project, much of the writing and recording was done with friends who I met in my freshman year at the University of Victoria. They all came and sat in my dorm room or a tiny practice room and donated their own time to help me fully realize half of the songs on this project when April exams were looming just around the corner. Most of them had never been recorded alone in their lives, I am and will always be thankful of the jump they made for me. When so many people are contributing to a song in this way, the degree to which I can say it was written by me diminishes. I owe much of this result to them.

All songs were created at the University of Victoria, British Columbia and in the Hamlet of Mount Lorne, Yukon.

Long live Mount Lorne!
