Montreal is a place where history, nature, and creativity are all on an equal playing field and they serve as a monument that can be felt throughout the city.

It's no wonder John Lennon and Yoko Ono staged their famous bed-in here.

Inspired by it all, I start to write a song of my own.

Mon- Mon- Monreal, The trees from way up here are taller than you'll ever be.

Before I leave, I have to try those bagels.

I meet up with High Klassified, a producer who's worked with artists like The Weeknd and Future.

Going to Toronto and working with The Weeknd was a lifetime experience.

Seeing his musical process was big for me, and his manager called me at like 2AM to go for a studio session.

I was like half asleep, but I really had to do it.

Bonjour!

Sorry, I hold up the line.

Cheers!

- Cheers!

Is there a big community of producers here in Montreal?

Yeah, we all started together, we all grew together.

Like, for sure there's Kaytranada, there's Da-P, there's Tummy Kruise.

And since it's a small city, we all hang out together, we all party together.

I read that you have on the sweatshirts, "I make music in my mom's basement."

Yeah.

I think that's so cool.

Do you still make music in your mom's basement?

I still do make music in my mom's basement, yeah.

Montreal is a city where you can keep the dream alive as a musician with ample support from the government and a diverse music community.

But it's not just musicians who experiment with sound here.

Did you know there's such a thing as sound sculpture?

Ooh!

Pretty traditional.

So this is a neighborhood where mostly artists live, or?

Yeah, there's a lot around here.

Martine Le Duc is a sound and sculpture artist who draws inspiration from observing and listening to the cycles of nature.

He shows me a sound sculpture in his home, A piece that moves and makes sound as it interacts with its surroundings.
