New single from Cabin Fever Orchestra

Cabin Fever Orchestra is a project led by Graeme Cornies, a celebrated songwriter and musician who’s no stranger to the art of composition. With a career spanning over 18 years in the TV industry, Graeme has crafted soundtracks for more than 40 television series and contributed to over 1,000 episodes.

His music has become the sonic backdrop to some of the most beloved children’s shows, including Paw Patrol, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and the Total Drama franchise. Beyond television, his work has been used in documentary features for BBC and National Geographic and even made its mark in the world of Triple-A video games.

Now, Cornies introduces us to a new dimension of his artistic output with Cabin Fever Orchestra, an innovative endeavour that represents a shift in his creative process. Traditionally known for composing music tailored to visual media, Graeme flips the script with Cabin Fever Orchestra by creating visual art inspired by his music. This unique approach explores the intersection of AI and human collaboration in generative art, exploring the fringes of musical expression.

Cabin Fever Orchestra has been releasing instrumental music since 2020, offering listeners a taste of Graeme’s expansive and versatile compositions. However, his latest single, “Lasting Dream,” marks the first time he steps up to the microphone to lend his own voice to a track. The result is a heartfelt and deeply personal piece that distils themes of enduring love and the evolving nature of our dreams.

“Lasting Dream” was inspired by a particularly poignant moment in Pixar’s movie Up, specifically the ‘Married Life’ montage, which moved Graeme to compose a song that mirrors the tender, nostalgic emotions evoked by the film. Setting an intimate tone with delicate piano tones and gentle vocals which drift above to thread elegant melodies and heartfelt lyricism into the airy sonic fabric, with “Lasting Dream,” the artist craft a truly charming and graceful sound.

Developing with the stunning performance of virtuoso violinist Drew Jurecka, the song flows with a dreamy quality that’s moving and delightful in equal measure. As Graeme Cornies continues to share more music from the Cabin Fever Orchestra project, he presents a window into a new side of his extraordinary musical vision and we can’t wait to hear what else he has in store.
