Daryl Hall , and then there were some where I wanted a particular kind of performer and ideally someone who ’ s work I was familiar with . For some of my listeners , they would be unknown artists like [ dance / pop artist ] Robyn or even Moe Berg , who some may remember from [ Toronto rock band ] The Pursuit Of Happiness , though many may not remember her at all . So it was more a question of trying to cover some stylistic grounds , as
well as create some interesting interactions between me and the artists I was working with .
IE : Who are some of the other artists and scenes that are inspiring you at the moment ? TR : At the moment , I ’ ve been on the road quite a bit and actually haven ’ t been listening to much music because I ’ ve been wrapping up my autobiography , which is now in its second draft and I imagine it will be done in another week or so hopefully . I don ’ t know when they ’ ve slated it to be published , but that has occupied all my time and thoughts since I finished White Knight , but I expect to get back into some more music making and collaborating with some other artists . I don ’ t like to name names until I ’ ve actually got the work in hand because when I was working on White Knight , there were lot of things that didn ’ t make it to the record simply because I couldn ’ t convince the artist that my deadline was a hard cut off . So stuff is like half finished , then there are new collaborations that just are beginning , some of which are very interesting . I ’ m not at the end of that particular process and you ’ re gonna hear more of it in the not too distant future .
IE : How did the autobiography come together ? Did you have any methods for

collecting so many thoughts and memories ? TR : It came together with great difficulty ( laughter ). It was something that I started like maybe 20 years ago [ with many false ] starts and difficulty focusing on the particulars . Most of all it reminded me of homework , so that was like being back in school and I didn ’ t enjoy the thought of it , but I finally sort of knuckled down and got it done and did it in a way that I hope will be accessible . I created a structure that made it easy for me to write and ideally also the way that I would want to read a book . Most books you have to start at the very beginning and read them linearly to get the full story and I ’ ve written it in a way where every chapter is a page , so if you open a book anywhere , you ’ ll get pretty much the story of an episode in my life without having to depend on having read the other parts of the book .
