Ian Foster, a singer-songwriter, composer, and filmmaker from Newfoundland, crafted the musical backdrop for the nightly show. Collaborating with Wasko AV, CBC, and the Canada Games, Foster’s score enriches the visual experience on screen in a mesmerizing showcase.
“I aimed to incorporate musical elements that embody the essence of the Games in my composition ‘Unity.’ The music is designed to loop continuously to align with the evolving exhibit, reflecting a seamless flow in the arrangement,” Foster expressed via email.
Foster’s unique soundscape will complement the photos, videos, and animations, creating a distinctive projection show that narrates the vibrant tale of the Games.
