The award winning album Melodic Twilight is the latest from Canadian instrumental guitarist Scott Pettipas, and is delightfully unique. Scott’s refreshing blend of musical styles is often described as a truly relaxing, joyful, and a spiritual listening experience. This album has been recently nominated for two Canadian GMA Covenant awards in the categories of: ‘Instrumental Album of the Year’ – winner and ‘Instrumental Song of the Year’ for Acquainted by Morning. With every great creative effort, it takes a village. The album was shaped by multiple award-winning Music Producer Paul Milner, and acclaimed Sound Engineer Jim Zolis. It also featured the vastly talented: Dan Cutrona, Al Cross, Fergus Marsh, John Johnson, and Brownman; as sessional musicians. Melodic Twilight is Scott’s second commercial album, and features eleven exceptional tracks, including six of his originals. Scott is a self-taught guitarist, who learned by ear, thus one of his greatest strengths as a songwriter and musician is that his repertoire is not classically formulaic, and is considered bold, original, and unforgettable.

Music has been called ‘The Universal Language’ – it’s a very simple thought but one with a lovely meaning. We may not always understand the words of a song, but we can understand the beauty of music. Music creates memories, has the power to evoke a wide range of emotions, and can even enhance romance. When you think that almost every couple has a special song, you can truly appreciate the significance it can have on our lives. While creating my debut album, I’ve tried to keep these thoughts in the back of my mind, to help create an album that was both personal for me, but also one that could be intimate for the listener as well. From ‘Romanza’, which was the first song I ever played for my wife, to the ‘John Denver Medley’, that was inspired by the memory I have of driving through the Nova Scotia countryside in 1997, and hearing on the radio that John was killed in a plane crash, this body of work is one that has a special meaning for me. The initial track selection, through to the arrangement, and finally recording of the music itself, has been carefully thought out. The intent was to try to create something elegant, relaxing, and beautiful. I truly believe I’ve accomplished that, and sincerely hope you enjoy the music. Kindest Regards, Scott Pettipas ~ MGL&L
