Gabriola Island's Mark Fenster Channels Awe and Freedom on New Single “Heavenly Bliss”

Following on the recently released Serenity Sessions, Vol. 1, Gabriola Island-based composer, vocalist, and meditation leader Mark Fenster unveils his latest single “Heavenly Bliss” – a flowing, neo-classical journey inspired by the awe and freedom of his first heli-skiing adventure in British Columbia. Equal parts calming and exhilarating, the piece blends meditative textures with soaring cello lines to capture the miracle of being fully alive in nature’s embrace.

“After growing up on skis – having skied on snow, sand, grass, water, glaciers and even in the air – the one bucket list item which had to be fulfilled was heli-skiing,” Fenster explains. “Last spring, the experience was granted and it felt like, well, ‘Heavenly Bliss.’ The openness and freedom of the alpine winds… the glorious blue-bird, open sky… the comfortable temperature… It’s impossible to describe with words alone, but this song captures the feelings of freedom and joy perfectly.”

Among the synthesized textures, “Heavenly Bliss” is elevated by a beautifully expressive cello part from Corbin Keep. Fenster and Keep first met 30 years ago in Vancouver’s music scene and recently reconnected on Gabriola Island, where they now both live. “Corbin added a precious gift to this piece with his story-telling cello,” Fenster says. “I couldn’t be more grateful to play with my dear brother again.”

As part of Fenster’s ongoing Serenity Sessions series, “Heavenly Bliss” reflects his guiding principle: to create music that calms, uplifts, and reassures. “Every piece is designed to remind us that even in chaos, there’s still peace and love,” he explains. “Imagine a sign that says: ‘Spoiler Alert! Everything’s going to be ok.’ My music is designed to help Calm the Folk Down.”

The track is comforting, flowing, and spiritually uplifting – a meditation on awe, grace, and gratitude.
