a couple of years ago, i decided to try living on my bike full-time for the summer. i stayed at volunteer projects, helping with things like building ecohouses, while also trying to keep my music career going. i carried a bit of equipment with me, stayed at friends’ studios when i could, and continued working like that.

through that experience, i started thinking more seriously about how to connect my interests. it raised a lot of questions for me about personal sustainability, both in terms of my career and the environmental impact of touring and making music. i began asking myself what i could do differently. 

i brought a friend with me to help document the journey. neither of us had made a film before. i could have invited a professional filmmaker, but i thought it would be more interesting to take a friend and simply see if we could do it ourselves. we’ve been on a lot of trips together and know how to travel and camp together well. making music in this way involves a lot of practical challenges, cycling, camping, navigating, and figuring out where to go next, so it helped to do it with someone who understood that rhythm.
