Esteemed Composer-Led Project Kodiak Arcade x Cabin Fever Orchestra Share New Track "No Reason to Change"
Over the past 15 years, Graeme Cornies (Kodiak Arcade, Cabin Fever Orchestra) has composed music for over 40 television series, contributing to more than 1,000 episodes. Best known for his work on acclaimed shows like Paw Patrol, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and the Total Drama franchise, his music has reached millions. Graeme has also scored documentary features for the BBC and National Geographic, contributed to Triple-A video games and, alongside his writing partners, established himself as one of the most widely heard composers in the world.
Graeme’s passion projects, Kodiak Arcade and Cabin Fever Orchestra, mark a creative departure from his traditional process. Instead of composing music to complement visuals, he now creates visuals to accompany his personal compositions, sharing them on Instagram, X, and YouTube. These projects are at the cutting edge of AI and human collaboration in generative art, while musically, they allow him to explore new palettes and expand orchestration techniques honed through his work in visual media.
On the new single, “No Reason to Change,” Graeme took inspiration from PBS icon and sage Fred Rogers whose company produces Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. “No Reason to Change” is a track about feeling fully accepted. It expresses that we can be loved for who we are right now, despite the individual imperfections we often try to conceal. The song is about gradually letting others into our inner worlds, dropping our defenses in favor of mutual vulnerability, and learning to trust that this openness can make us stronger.

At first glance, “No Reason to Change” might seem like a romantic love song – about building trust, acceptance, and embracing one another as individuals, but this song could just as easily be sung to a child, or by a child to a parent, or to anyone with whom we share our lives. – Graeme Cornies
Since 2011, Graeme has been reworking Fred Rogers’ material for a new generation – producing the tracks, playing the instruments and singing many of his original songs. Almost every season, Graeme reworks one of Fred’s songs for an episode of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and is commonly asked to weave one of Fred’s melodies or thoughts into a song he’s writing for the show.
‘Cause there’s no reason to change
Oh, no reason to change for me
