Lucky Ones 03:55
As the warming of the fire drones, We’ll have a singalong For all us lucky ones Who have escaped the bombs. We’ll sing ourselves to back before Social mediated cyber wars When capital had set the world alight And killed our winter in the fight. Radiation rains From the sky Mutilation, mutation, Will we even survive? We lost a harvest to the sun, River’s low for the salmon run. Eventually a day will come Quake, wave, oblivion. Climb up the mountainside Guided by an ethanol light Listen for a landslide Calling us to the otherside Radiation rains From the sky Mutilation, mutation, Will we even survive? Radiation rains From the sky Mutilation, mutation, Will we even survive?

Conditioner 05:06
Why do I feel? Riverbeds don’t feel. Why do I love? Forest forest floors don’t love. Or do they? Have I just been blinded (?) ...by my conditioning I thrive. Or do I? Am I just distracted ...by all the writing on the wall? Why do I dream? Canyon walls don’t dream. Why do I grieve? Canopies don’t grieve. Or do they? Have I just been blinded ...by my conditioning I thrive? Or do I? Am I just exhausted (?) … by my production I survive Or do I? Or do I? Or do I? Or do I?

Future flushing down the plumbing Trickle, levee breaks and gushing Draining dry the moist hillside ‘Til cracking, crumble, parched and humbled Fans are pushing hot dry air, Through bellows breathing Fog horns blowing Oh, I can hear the sound Oh, I can hear the sound Terabytes, tinnitus buzzing, Hivemind, hydrate, hymnal humming Like-farm labour from the prisons, Angels strike with drone precision Send the billionaires to space Send the billionaires to space Send the billionaires to space Oh, I can see them now Oh, I can see them now

Special thanks to Bam for years of support, love, and understanding. Paul Stewart for peppering some lovely ideas throughout these recordings and giving me a gravitational slingshot to launch Conditions to the outer planets. To Jesse Creed, who helped me to smooth out the rough-cut marble into something presentable. Caton Diab, DB Boyko, Robyn Jacob, and Justin Devries. And always to my family.

Thanks to Canada Council for the Arts for support.

Thanks to the World Soundscape Project for the use of their field recordings on Conditioner and Bellows Breathing.
