Today and always, we give thanks to the people who are now called K’omox, consisting of the Pentlatch, Ieeksan (eye-ick-sun), Sasitla (sa-seet-la), Xa’xe (ha-hey), and Sathloot (sath-loot) people. We are so grateful for the privilege to create, play, and explore within this unceded territory.

"It feels like I've hardly seen the people I love in months. Inspiration has been in short supply. And who do I think I am, trying to say something new and original about love, anyway? But I'd known right away what the title of this piece was going to be, and every time I thought about writing it, I'd hear Burt Bacharach's warm, comforting voice in my head: 'What the world needs now is love, sweet love'"
