Post production nearing end - Andy Park & Rita Springer add guest vocals (2009)
I wanted to share some encouraging news on the recording. First, as all the parts wrap up, I can't be more pleased with the musicians that producer Brian Thiessen has engaged to work on this recording. They include:
- Calum Reese on drums, percussion (Hungry, Come now is the Time, Dwell, etc)
- Matt Weeks on bass (Hungry, You Shine, Dwell, etc)
- Kelly Carpenter on keyboards (Light the Fire Again, Sweetly Broken, etc. songwriter of Draw Me Close)
- Brian Thieseen on guitars (all of Brian Doerksen's recordings, as well as other Vineyard releases and the latest Andy Park project)
- Andy Park - vocals on Holy Holy
- Rita Springer - vocals on Bless The Lord
- Jessica Park - duet vocals on All of Me for All of You
- and myself (Kim Gentes) - vocals and acoustic guitar.
I was very excited to hear that Brian had put this team together and now that the song premixes are coming in, I am so glad he chose these musicians/worshipers. There is a beautiful quality of devotion on each of the instruments and arrangements. I am honored to have each of these people be a part of this project.
The process of tracking is all nearly finished with occasional parts wrapping up to complete some songs. I am right now sitting and listening for the first time to an amazing vocal cut by Rita Springer, who did guest vocals on the song "Bless The Lord", a song I wrote some time ago. A few weeks back I got another track from the producer that features worship leader Andy Park singing the upbeat song "Holy Holy is the Lord Almighty". Both songs by the guest vocalists are wonderful! Jessica Park also does a blissful vocal part in the hymn-like song All of Me For All of You, which we sing together.
Can't wait to get this project available for you all.
The entire process has been a joy!
