Christmas Day
I am a soprano vocalist so, it felt unnatural to sing my song in such a low range. Kudos to my vocal coach for taking me outside of my comfort zone. Memories of my late sis Janey at Christmas time. ❤️

Into the Unknown
This is another composition I worked on at the Banff Centre. Thank you to my voice coach, Dan, who helped me discover a new way of singing, as I had always performed all my songs in exactly the same style. I like to say he brought out my real voice. Recent strong studio production values also…

Outer Realm
I created a draft of the arrangements for Outer Realm at the Banff Centre in 2018. It's taken me quite a while to learn the skills to produce the song and music in a way that I'm happy with. Thanks to my fellow musicians from the residency for their support and inspiration and the Canada Council...

Whisper of the Keys
Ghosts, they never fully disappear. Lyrics [Verse] Soft as the moonlight drapes the floor I hear your footsteps at my door A ghost of you Or maybe more [Chorus] Play it again The tune I know The one that danced so soft So slow Let the whispers rise Let the echoes flow [Verse 2] The clock hands...

Outer Realm
This is an experimental music piece for a project. I will be recording my vocals soon. Lyrics: [Verse] I walk through shadows wide and thin The air is thick it pulls me in No echoes call no voices hum [Chorus] Veil of smoke veil of night Where’s the end where’s the light Veil of smoke it hides it...

Blue to Blue
I created a fully fleshed out arrangement for my song Blue to Blue.
-
So Far Away
This was a simple guitar piece accompanying my vocals originally. I composed a new arrangement for the song creating multiple harmonies, bass, keyboard, and synth. It is intended to be an instrumental score as well.
-
Fortress
My reimaged song Fortress.
-
Dark Star
It will be a multi-year project creatively re-imaging and sometimes creating something new from old stripped down versions of all of my music catalogue. This is my song Dark Star. It started out as a labour of love job for the Stanton Friedman Exhibition and while I was happy with it at the time,...

Changes
I was hired for several music projects just before the COVID pandemic, and everything stalled when it occurred. It was for the best. After attending multiple master classes in composition, arrangement, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering over the past few years, my work has improved...

Dandelion Wine
I was asked to create a fully instrumental piece for a client. I couldn't resister creating a few lyrics and a whole bunch of harmonies for it for fun. I call it Dandelion Wine.
-
Voices
This was a challenging creative project. I have done music for experimental projects before but the dance was poetry in motion for me and deserved a worthy soundscape. The artist's vision was profound and I'm thrilled she was happy with what I composed and recorded vocally. None of this work…

Memory
Longing for those we have lost.

Honey
Honey Lyrics and Music by Cat LeBlanc I'm in the process of going through my entire original music and songs catalogue to create fully produced versions of each song. I took a master class in music production and mastering. I then took a master class in vocal production to get my newer sound. I…

Ghost Watch
I composed this song for a project recently. The inspiration was my late sister Janey. After she died in 2010, I kept thinking that I saw her on city streets, around corners, in malls, everywhere. It was so eerie. It was like she was still with me.

My Ocean
My final music score for My Ocean for a client. Instruments: Homemade modular synth, Korg, electric guitar, accoustic guitar, and additional instruments. Hundreds of layers of my vocals and harmonies.
