‘Morning After’ was recorded at the Ellis Avenue Analog Recording Studio in Summerland with Thurein Minyt, producer, who also provided Fresh BC Talent Quest in-kind sponsorship by providing a realistic 'hands on' analog recording opportunity and experience for our Fresh BC Talent Quest singers who all auditioned for lead vocals. This included each singer's first 1 hour audition preparation session with Denis Chaykowski to tweak vocals in advance for their official studio recording date session. The CD demo (voice selection) panel members were extremely impressed by each singer's unique vocal style and originality on their recording. All singers showcased their own style, emotions and vocal expression as the perspective of the storyteller in the song. The final version was mixed and mastered in April 2021 with in-kind sponsorship from Greg Reely Mastering in Osoyoos. 

 

The ‘Morning After’ May CD release party was postponed due to COVID and took place in August 2021 at the Orchard House. Fresh BC Talent Quest, Ellis Ave Analog Studio and The Green Jacket Studio provided and followed all COVID-19 safety regulations and restrictions during this time. Had COVID-19 not interfered with time and venue delays, we would have loved to have recorded each singer singing a verse on Morning After as one whole song version; as well as back up vocals to Jay's recording. Moving forward we look forward to more studio recording opportunities for our young performers with our local recording studios!
