Introducing Cabin Fever Orchestra: A Passion Project
Cabin Fever Orchestra represents a new creative frontier for Graeme, where he reverses the traditional process of composing music for visual media. Instead, he creates visual art inspired by his music and shares it across social platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. This project delves into the cutting edge of AI and human collaboration in generative art, exploring new musical palettes and orchestration techniques that Graeme has discovered throughout his career.
‘Lasting Dream’: A New Single with Deep Emotional Resonance
Graeme’s latest single ‘Lasting Dream’ is a heartfelt exploration of enduring love and the evolving nature of our dreams. The song, performed in a singer-songwriter style, was initially conceived after Graeme watched Pixar's ‘Up’ and was deeply moved by the ‘Married Life’ montage. The piece emerged fully formed, a rare and precious occurrence in the creative process.
Although Cabin Fever Orchestra has released instrumental music since 2020, 'Lasting Dream' is their first track where Graeme sings on this project.
The song was finalised as a tribute to his parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, adding an extra layer of personal significance to the work. Featuring Graeme on piano and vocals, the track is enriched by the addition of world-class violinist Drew Jurecka, whose strings elevate the emotional depth of the piece.
The accompanying music video is told through a series of children's drawings brought to life with a drawing style that matures as the narrative progresses and the narrator's dreams change, view here.
