Ava - Gord Downie

A co-worker's husband, Dan, who is a huge "Hip" fan said the work of The Open Sesames reminds him of some "spoken-word-to-music" work Downie has recorded. Dan was very positive about the direction we are headed. He said, "Ava, you just have to know how to promote it and get it heard in the right places.

One of my very favourite clients, Mac, a highly educated and high-minded individual said, in response to hearing "romantica" on his own at home, "Ava, I found it intriguing, enjoyable and puzzling". All of which led to a really good conversation and Mac left wanting to listen to it again.

Dan also said spoken word material has to be closely listened to more than once to really "get it".
