A short video from last spring’s visit to Lasqueti Island, produced to accompany a journal article co-authored with Phillip Vannini for submission to the new journal “Transfers.” For the next two years Phillip and I will be traveling to every province and territory in Canada to research the off-grid way of life, producing articles and a video documentary as we go. Phillip has a blog on the Public Ethnography site that you can follow here.

Many thanks to Nova Scotia’s Corey Hinchey for letting me use his quirky ambient track in the video. I came across “They threw some stones in the brook” while looking for something fresh on the CBC Radio3 website, which just further goes to show how incredible Radio3 continues to be as a venue for showcasing new Canadian music.
