Graeme, an accomplished composer with an illustrious 18-year career in the television industry, proudly announces the release of his latest single, “Lasting Dream.” This track is part of his pioneering project, Cabin Fever Orchestra, which represents a fresh creative direction in his already distinguished career.
With a repertoire that spans over 40 television series and more than 1,000 episodes, Graeme’s music is recognized and cherished by audiences around the world. His compositions have become integral to beloved shows such as Paw Patrol, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and the Total Drama franchise. Beyond children’s programming, his expertise extends to scoring documentary features for BBC and National Geographic, contributing to Triple AAA video games, and earning him a reputation as one of the most-heard composers globally.
Graeme’s remarkable journey is marked by numerous accolades, including multiple awards from SOCAN and BMI over the past five years, underscoring his influence both domestically and internationally. The projects produced by his collaborative company, Voodoo Highway Music & Post, have not only resonated with viewers but have also garnered prestigious honours, including multiple Emmys. In 2020, Graeme and his writing partners were celebrated with their second Canadian Screen Award, a testament to their creative excellence.
Cabin Fever Orchestra showcases Graeme’s exploration of new creative territories. Unlike his traditional role of composing music to fit visual media, this project flips the script by generating visual art inspired by his music. This innovative approach shared across platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, merges the cutting-edge realms of AI and human creativity, pushing the boundaries of generative art while introducing new musical palettes and orchestration techniques that Graeme has honed throughout his career.
“Lasting Dream,” the latest single from Cabin Fever Orchestra, is a heartfelt exploration of enduring love and the ever-evolving nature of dreams. Performed in a singer-songwriter style, the song was inspired by the emotional “Married Life” montage from Pixar’s Up. The piece came to life organically—a rare and cherished experience in the creative process.
Although Cabin Fever Orchestra has released instrumental tracks since its inception in 2020, “Lasting Dream” is the first to feature Graeme’s vocals. The song was finalized as a tribute to his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, adding a deeply personal layer to the work. The track features Graeme on piano and vocals, complemented by the masterful violin of Drew Jurecka, whose strings add a profound emotional resonance.
The music video for “Lasting Dream” is a visual journey told through a series of children’s drawings that mature in style as the narrative progresses, mirroring the evolution of the narrator’s dreams. This innovative storytelling approach further highlights Graeme’s ability to merge visual and auditory art, offering viewers and listeners a truly immersive experience.
