If we look and listen we can sense the knowledge inherent in natural cycles: everything is in flux and most things come back around. "Fall Knows" explores those themes of hope and sorrow by dwelling on these natural cycles.

Eden’s mother’s family left communist Yugoslavia in the 60’s, arriving as refugees in Canada. Industrious Ancestors tries to understand their circumstances, choices, & lasting impacts of displacement. It's for all who are unsafe & uprooted, recognizing the power of our stories.

Ooh, classic move from @AirCanada there! We’re home in Canada and Eden’s guitar is still in Germany! That makes three times in a row, do we get a prize?

Hey @AirCanada and @yvrairport - where is the update on this?
Do you want touring musicians' business? If so, you can't just abandon musical instruments and then go silent. Please explain how you are going to make this right for @WestMyFriend .
11 Jun 2024
Hey @yvrairport our guitar has been sitting there for nearly 30 hours. Would you mind getting it on its way? We have a show tonight.
