I write music on an electric piano, and then, using software called Propellerhead Reason, I record each track into the computer and alter its sound, layering one harmony over another. Reason allows me to compose music that takes more than two hands to play, and to create harmonies that I can’t play on a piano alone. I have written some songs in as little as a weekend, and others have taken almost an entire year.
I’ve also designed individual cover artwork for each song, so feel free to use them!

 Fortress
Play
Written on the piano, Fortress was the first song I ever recorded into my computer. When I had the melody recorded, I played it back while creating all of the harmonies. As I began to play around with the song I realized I had discovered a tool that would help me create and remember all of my music. © Caroline Mitic |
 Bay of Cheleur
Play
The bay of Cheleur separates much of Quebec from New Brusnwick. Its where my grandparents came when they immigrated to Canada, and where my mother and her siblings grew up. I’ve spent many summers of my youth playing in the sand and water there. This song was written in memory of my Aunt Kate who passed away in the summer of 2009. She spent her entire life on the bay of Cheleur. © Caroline Mitic |
 Sunrise
Play
This song takes place in a small fishing village in Newfoundland, just before the sun rises on a hot summer’s day. The air is already warm, as fishermen get into their boats to begin a day’s work. You can hear seagulls and wind chimes. © Caroline Mitic |
 Summer Storm
Play
I wrote Summer Storm over a number of years. It took a long time to piece the song together, but I am very happy with the end product. © Caroline Mitic |
 Nightmare
Play
Nightmare is about a child falling asleep to the sound of a music box, only to experience bad dreams. I originally composed this song on the piano at age 16. © Caroline Mitic |
 Latvia
Play
When I was a kid, I learned how to play the piano from Marina, a Russian woman who was trying to immigrate to Canada with her Latvian husband. Because of strife happening in their own countries, neither Russia nor Lativa would allow them to be together. Leaving behind two young children with a grandparent, they set off to Canada in hopes of making a better life. Marina taught me to play with my heart, and to feel music instead of merely reading it. She never used a metronome, or made me practice scales. Instead, she taught me to love music. Late one night, Marina and her husband were deported, and I have never spoken to her since. But this song is dedicated to her, and the passion she gave me for music. © Caroline Mitic |
 The Long Ride Home
Play
If you’ve visited Vancouver Island, than you know about Tofino. Situated on a small peninsula, and surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery and beaches, Tofino is a coastal paradise. The drive between my hometown of Victoria and Tofino takes about six hours. The ribbon of pavement winds through nearly untouched hills and old growth forest, where fog rolls in and out like the tide. This song was written in Tofino, and is about that drive home. © Caroline Mitic |
 Full Moon
Play
The melody in this song was written when I was about 16, but I wasn’t able to complete the song until I recorded it into my computer, altered its sound, and added the harmonies. © Caroline Mitic |
After The Rain
Play
I originally wrote this melody with the intention of turing it into a dance song. I even wrote some lyrics! (They weren’t very good) When I started playing around with the sound of it, I realized that wasn’t entirely appropriate, so this is what came out instead. © Caroline Mitic |
Lullaby
Play
I wrote Lullaby, and performed it with a flute and guitar at a wedding. At the time, it wasn’t finished, and only after spending a few years away from it, was I able to complete this song. © Caroline Mitic |
