Melodic Canvas

Melodic Canvas emerged from the deep woods of Northern Michigan in the fall of 2016 as the creative undertaking of musician and visual artist Evan Alderton. An experimentalist at core, his music contains a fusion of alternative rock and shoegaze, with traces of americana . Melodic Canvas sonically echoes the angst ridden era of the 90's and brings the fervidness and visceral intensity into the modern day. Heavy reverb, loud blaring guitars, and eerie, atmospheric soundscapes make his music distinctively haunting, evoking an “under the skin” feeling in listeners. After various lineup changes, Evan has finally gathered the best incarnation yet while retaining inspiration from the vast mysteriousness of nature and the dark, hidden corners of the mind. Endlessly thriving on idiosyncratic, eccentric, and melancholic ideas, exploring and encapsulating the unseen and unheard.
