Recording vocals

The venue was the Macmillan Brown Centre for Pacific Studies, home of the Pacific Artist in Residence - who this year is Tanya. So the foyer has excellent acoustics and creating music amongst the art works of NZ's most respected Pacific Artists was a choice way to acknowledge the Centre's support to Pacific Arts in the world.
So Dale Cotton and Hiliako travelled from Dunedin, and Pos set everyone to task to complete Tanya's lead vocals, and background vocals for 8 songs from the album, with 2 songs to complete later this week with Matt Ioane.
Good to have on vocals Pos, Hemi Lesatele, Hiliako, Talia-Rae, Josephine, Ella, and from the Pylat programme Gase Faletolu and Chris Faletanoa'i, Becs Thompson, Sunia Feleti's nephew Semo who was in transit from Dunedin to Auckland...hehe. Tanya's lead vocals are all done with the support of Pos, Dale, Chris Searle and the Mavaega girls and of course the 18 Thursday team Pip and Hiliako. Recording Song for Grandma for the second time since written 17 years ago, but this time with Grandma just passed away at the age of 100 years old, proved difficult, and exhilirating at the same time (first recording of the song was for PU's Landmark CD)
So by next week all recording will be complete with Rob Payne, Pos, Matt and Tanya and then it's mix-down and master...can it be that simple though...there's still the release show, and artwork to sort...hehe...
