Liner Notes:
To those who have embraced, encouraged, and inspired this music, we are grateful for the time and support you have given us. To both of our families, thank you for sharing your love and enthusiasm for this project. We could not have done any of this without you.
To Professors Matt Albert, Andrew Bishop, and Evan Chambers, thank you for your mentorship and for giving us the space to explore and develop new music with your guidance. In addition, we would like to thank our respective private teachers, Matt Albert, Danielle Belen, and Joo Kim, for not only inspiring our love of our instruments, but for encouraging us to pursue what we love. To Dave Schall for his expertise in engineering, mixing, and mastering, and also to Colin McCall and Jacob Warren for their hand in the visual design of the record.
Hannah would like to thank Marty Somberg and Mick Gavin. Thank you for sharing great tunes and for making me feel at home Sunday evenings at O'Neill's. I hope to be playing tunes with you again soon.
It has been an amazing experience being able to write, arrange and record these tunes. Joining our different backgrounds and musical influences has taught us so much, and we hope you enjoy the record:)
