Katie Gately – Waltz
(Spotify)

Katie says "When I listen, I see images that correlate to a zebra on a bad LSD trip. But I feel that its absurdity honors the chaos of losing someone you love more than time, space or measure. And so perhaps my message is: it's okay to feel like a drunk zebra when your heart is breaking. Or... to quote the far greater poet Leonard Cohen: 'When things get really bad, just raise your glass and stamp your feet and do a little jig. That's about all you can do.'

Omar Raafat – The Portrait

"The Portrait" is one of the singles in the album " A Way Home" by multi-instrumentalist and music producer Omar Raafat. The album blends piano, guitar and electronic synths with a classical string quartet bringing a modern cinematic approach with intimate and organic sounds. Written and recorded in Victoria, BC, the album was heavily influenced by the beauty of the nature in the area. Spending a lot of time in the wilderness fuelled the inspiration and themes of the songs. A melancholy and intense emotional journey from start to finish draws us into an inward reflection. The album also features hidden soundscapes recorded at several special outdoor hiking spots around Vancouver island.

Fransoafran – Hearthside
(Spotify)

Inspired by musicians such as Rolf Lovland, Olafur Arnalds, Yanni, this track was initially composed on the piano. The violin and cellos came naturally in the piece as the warm feeling of a "hearthside" was evoking to me both the comfort of a refuge and warm fire in winter, but also the company of friends and family in our lives. It was recorded in studio in Vietnam - the cello part is performed by Tran Duc Minh, violins (several different types of violins are used) and piano performed by Francois Mathian (Fransoafran)

Matthew Jontiff – Just Listen.
(Spotify)

Just Listen is an instrumental from Matthew Jontiff's debut mixtape, 20:20. Matthew played all instruments, recorded, and mixed this song, and the rest of the 20:20 mixtape on his own in his home studio. It is Hip-Hop and Beat inspired, as Matthew was listening to A Tribe Called Quest, Mac Miller's Swimming, and Tom Misch very frequently around the time of recording. A few simple production techniques, like reverse guitar and pre-delayed reverb help make this track unique. The multiple layers flow well together and develop as the song moves along. This song is relaxed and can be listened to critically or casually. Enjoy!
