Graeme Unveils New Single ‘Lasting Dream’ with Cabin Fever Orchestra, Melding Music and Visual Art
Graeme, an acclaimed composer with over 18 years of experience in the television industry, is proud to announce the release of his latest single, “Lasting Dream,” under his innovative project, Cabin Fever Orchestra. This project marks a new chapter in Graeme’s distinguished career, which has already seen him contribute to more than 40 television series and over 1,000 episodes, including beloved shows like Paw Patrol, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and the Total Drama franchise.
Graeme’s compositions have reached audiences worldwide, becoming integral to the fabric of children’s entertainment and beyond. His talents extend across a diverse array of media, including scoring documentary features for BBC and National Geographic, and contributing to Triple AAA video games. Recognized as one of the most frequently heard composers globally, Graeme’s work has garnered multiple awards from SOCAN and BMI over the last five years, reflecting his significant impact both domestically and internationally. His collaborative company, Voodoo Highway Music & Post, has produced Emmy-winning shows, and in 2020, Graeme and his writing partners earned their second Canadian Screen Award.
Cabin Fever Orchestra: A New Creative Frontier
Cabin Fever Orchestra represents Graeme’s latest artistic endeavor, where he explores the fusion of music and visual art in an innovative way. Unlike traditional compositions that serve as soundtracks to visual media, this project reverses the process—Graeme creates visual art inspired by his music. By sharing these creations across platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, he delves into the cutting-edge world of AI and human collaboration in generative art, experimenting with new musical palettes and orchestration techniques that reflect his extensive experience.
‘Lasting Dream’: A Deeply Personal and Emotional Journey
“Lasting Dream,” Graeme’s latest single, is a poignant exploration of enduring love and the evolving nature of dreams. The inspiration for the song came after Graeme watched Pixar’s Up and was profoundly moved by the ‘Married Life’ montage, leading to a rare creative moment where the piece emerged fully formed. This heartfelt composition, performed in a singer-songwriter style, is a testament to Graeme’s ability to capture deep emotional resonance in his music.
The release of “Lasting Dream” carries special personal significance for Graeme, as it was finalized as a tribute to his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. This adds an intimate layer to the work, making it not just a song, but a meaningful gift. The track features Graeme on piano and vocals, with the emotional depth further enriched by world-class violinist Drew Jurecka. Jurecka’s strings add a lush, resonant quality to the piece, enhancing its emotive power.
The accompanying music video for “Lasting Dream” is a visual narrative told through a series of children’s drawings that evolve in style as the story progresses, mirroring the narrator’s changing dreams. This visual evolution enhances the song’s themes of growth and the passage of time, providing a fitting visual complement to the music.
With “Lasting Dream” and the Cabin Fever Orchestra project, Graeme continues to push the boundaries of creative expression, blending his vast experience in composing for television with his passion for visual art. As he embarks on this new journey, Graeme invites listeners and viewers alike to experience the intersection of music and art in a fresh and emotionally engaging way.
Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
