After the first album, “El-Shaddai,”
with nearly 2-years hiatus, again the opportunity
opened up to come out with another Kannada praise
& worship album. As the hands were gathered for
the glory of god, the first-stage recording started
on March 28, 2007. It was a strenuous 5-day session
where Sunil Chris & Shadrach worked together to
record the music for the entire album. Shadrach, an
accomplished pianist, who is well acquainted with
all kinds of styles of music, took no time in composing
beautiful music for all the 10 tracks. On March 29,
we had M.B. Prakash joining the team for recording
session where Shadrach with him worked on the track,
“Anupama Devaru.” It was a wonderful experience
to see the great accordionist of Bangalore play live.
After the first session, we then proceeded for the
studio recording on April 21 and 22. The session started
with M.B. Prakash playing the accordion solos for
“Anupama Devaru” & then Marjorie &
Mabel starting their recording with“Aaradhisa
Banniri.” The studio was packed with artists
and visitors to watch the session. April 21 was also
the birthday of Paul, one of the producers, and it
was a nice time for the entire unit to celebrate his
birthday by singing and wishing him and of course,
not to forget the pastry brought by Paul that every
body enjoyed later. It was nothing less than a family
get together where the whole unit spent sometime together
having lunch in a nearby hotel and during every tea
breaks where fun & jokes was the essence.
The first day session went on for 13
hours ending at 9:30 p.m. with all that fun and joy
flipping into exhaustion. On April 22, Bruce was ready
for his recording. It was a feast to watch the master
play the guitar and render his vocals. After half
-day session, the entire recording winded up with
Gokul starting to work on mixing. By god’s grace,
with all early setbacks and potholes on the runway,
the team was successful in finishing the recording.
The team expresses its heartfelt thanks and gratitude
to every artist for their wonderful contributions.
The team also thanks Mr. George of
Multimedia Frontiers for all the help & support
that he has given for both the projects and also thanks
every body that supported in prayer and in every way
that helped to bring out this album.
“May the god of Jacob bless you all.”
Thanks,
Sunil Chris & Team
