Monuments
The Desert Island Big Band
Written and produced in the summer of 2020, Monuments marks a period of intense self-reflection on a global scale, and is in itself a reflection on community. It was recorded at Black Water Distro Co. in Oxford Mills, Ontario with The Lionyls as the studio band. A long-time Lionyls fans myself, I asked them write their own parts. This song morphed
Written and produced in the summer of 2020, Monuments marks a period of intense self-reflection on a global scale, and is in itself a reflection on community. It was recorded at Black Water Distro Co. in Oxford Mills, Ontario with The Lionyls as the studio band. A long-time Lionyls fans myself, I asked them write their own parts. This song morphed and changed with every new addition, adding a very exciting "where will we go next?" feeling to every session. The choir is Jah'Mila, Stef Nicholson, and Wendy Martin from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Adam Fancy recorded those vocals for me, a very atypical "hands off" kind of session. Thanks Adam! The track was mastered by Jason Jaknunas at Metropolitan Studios, and the music video was produced by Dominic Llanos.
