The Recording

Live & electric at the Salt Spring Public Library

The Session

Between the bookshelves.

In 2026, Local Motion set up a full live recording rig inside the Salt Spring Public Library — amps, Hammond, drum kit, horns, three vocal mics — and tracked the band the way it actually sounds: all eight players, together, in one room.

The sessions were produced by acclaimed Vancouver producer Felix Fung of Little Red Sounds, engineered by Ryan Shepard, in partnership with the Wilding Foundation and the Salt Spring Public Library.

Live Recordings

From the Library Floor.

Two tracks from the live sessions — recorded at the Library Pop-Up Studio with Felix Fung and Ryan Shepard. All three vocalists trading lead and harmony, the full eight-piece band locked in together.
