“A Duchenne Smile” began with an unexpected collaboration - a melody kicked out on a Fisher Price piano by Jill Townsend's own four-month-old daughter. The unconventional chord progression inspired an equally uncharacteristically upbeat composition for Fetching Pails, one that is undeniably bright and happy (and ended up as a sample in the final recording). The title refers to a neurological distinction in smiling; a Duchenne smile is a genuine one, signaling authentic positive emotion. Fitting for the new direction.
