The Banff Suite was born during a four-week residency I undertook at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity in the fall of 2021. Attending a residency at this renowned cultural institution had been a lifelong dream, and I was honoured to be the first artist back on-site during their gradual reopening amid the pandemic. The campus was unusually quiet—eerily so—but the tranquility of the surrounding landscape was restorative. After many months spent isolated in my Toronto home, it felt exhilarating to immerse myself in such a pristine natural environment, where inspiration felt as abundant as the mountain air.

During my stay, I composed an eight-part suite for solo piano inspired by the many hiking trails in and around Banff—paths that my wife and I explored together. Each piece is inspired by a specific trail. These compositions seek to capture not only the natural beauty of each setting but also the physical effort required to experience them and the deep emotional and spiritual impact they left behind.

Composing this suite was my way of preserving and sharing the deeply personal, transformative experience I had in Banff. I hope these pieces transport listeners, if only for a moment, to the wild beauty of the Rockies—and inspire the same sense of wonder and reverence that I felt.

Moraine Lake is the 7th piece in the suite.
