usic has been a passion for local musician, artist and producer Jordan Trask for as long as he can remember. The 28-year-old Saskatoon native found his musical roots in piano and jazz percussion, eventually winding his way into the recording and production side of things. It’s this journey that culminated in the recent release of Feels So Good, his new and notable Indie-Dance single. He made the unique decision to make it

available not only for digital download, but on a limited edition, Coke-bottle clear seven-inch 45 vinyl. “Feels So Good was inspired by that initial spark of new love — that amazing realization that you’re in love, that you’ve found someone special and that they love you back,” said Trask. “I attempted to bottle that into a song that would be super fun and uplifting.” He goes on to explain that he was aiming for a modern yet nostalgic feel for the song, similar to the way a contemporary digital photograph looks through an Instagram filter.

Trask, who operates under the stage name Ravewind, is signed to Canadian Indie label Hairdu Recrods. His day job finds him as an audio producer at Rawlco Radio. But he relishes the artistic rewards he enjoys by being Ravewind. “It’s a new force of artistic freedom for me,” explained Trask. “It’s a moniker I use as a musician, artist and producer. It’s my project to create something unique and from scratch.” Trask considers himself fortunate to have had the privilege of performing alongside talent such as We Were Lovers and Megan Lane.

As if producing an original Nu-Dance track wasn’t enough (complete with a B-side track titled Jet Ski), Trask opted to tackle the production of a video to accompany the song, despite not having any experience. “I wanted all of the artistic control so I just went for it,” he said. “I have never filmed anything before, but I got a membership to Paved Arts in Saskatoon, which allows you to rent fantastic equipment. From there I just took it one step at a time.” (Continued on page 4)
