Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park near Nelson, BC is a place my grandfather used to take me when I was younger. The stunning peaks and meadows of bright red flowers have been a source of mental spiritual refuge in some way for me over the years. In 2021 I had a vivid dream of being back at Kokanee with my grandfather. The details of what I saw were so clear to me even after waking up that I felt the need to make a track about it. This is the main inspiration for Kokanee Torch Sky.
