Kid Koala plays a 2 hour quiet time focus music set for your creative time.  Streamed live from his studio in Montreal.

Normally, we would host these Music To Draw To events somewhere cozy with everyone in the same room.  It started in the winter of 2009 in Montreal at Théâtre Ste. Catherine. Each Monday, I would play a set of quiet time focus music and people were invited to come draw, write, code, knit, study. We strung lights, and set up seats and drawing/work tables for everyone. The point was to create a cozy atmosphere for people to work on their own creative projects.

Over the years, I started to create little ambient pieces live which would become the skeletal tracks for the Music To Draw To album series which would start almost a decade later.

Since 2009, I've been lucky enough to be able to host these sessions in cities all over the world... and continue to host them in Montreal when I can.  It remains one of my favorite events to do.

I'm constantly inspired by the range of creative things that people are working on. There have been writers, painters, animators, sculptors, video game coders... There were filmmakers finishing screenplays, teachers finishing lesson plans, some people in Montreal even brought looms and dress forms for their clothing projects. I remember this one attendee was working on her laptop on what I thought was really wild 3D animation. I asked her if it was for a video game or music video but it turned out she was a neuroscientist studying ct scans! That made me smile.

Given that our city is currently in a lock down situation, I've decided to try to host these events in a virtual way as live streams. I'll take care of the music part, pull up some headphones or patch into your stereo.

You'll have to take care of your own tea or hot chocolate this time, but I'll pour you another cup next time we can bring these events out into the world again.
