“When a producer and an artist meet, they meet in the liminal space, the space in-between, the ‘playing field’. It is in this field of play that all things are possible, with courage, trust and a desire to have fun and create wonderful things. Douglas Romanow entered that space with me immediately. His supreme expertise as a technician and as a musician has guided me to amazing new levels. He asks the right questions in order to fully know the song and the person singing it; he helps to draw me out when I have difficulty articulating, instilling new confidences that have taken my music and performance to a brand new place. I love his knowledge, his spirit, how he has attuned himself to my music, his humour, and most of all, I love the sounds we’re getting on this record. Everybody should know this!”
- Marianne Girard, singer/songwriter
