I Am Rising High Feat Manuela Boekels - AnthonyAttard

Thanks for listening, I am glad you enjoyed it. The real essence lies in focusing on the vocalist, as they carry the entire piece. The melody and harmonies are beautifully woven into the a cappella, making it a pleasant journey to follow and align with them.
Best regards, Anthony

Hello Danke,
Thanks so much for your kind words, I am really glad it resonated with you. You are right about the missing bass , none was played, but I only worked on this track for a few hours. I uploaded it almost unfinished because I wanted Manuela to hear how powerful her vocals could be. There had been so much discussion about AI, and Manuela was frustrated by those characterizations, so I just made some music with this excellent vocal material. Yes, the bass was left out. For me, bass is tricky to fully grasp in a track. Adding simple notes in sequence is one approach, and I need to practice such solutions since, like many others, I work alone from start to finish and Im not a bassist. There are certainly advanced virtual bassists, but achieving a realistic result takes time to program. It often requires plenty of experimentation before these programs truly show their full potential.
Anyhow, thanks again for the supportive approach.
Best regards, Anthony

Thanks so much for the feedback; it is really encouraging to read such wonderful words about my work on Manuela's vocals. It was truly enjoyable to imagine being in a studio with this artist, sharing ideas on a specific theme.
Best regards, Anthony

Thank you, Asociale.
It is a really great feeling when my work is noticed in a positive way, and I truly enjoy it.
Best regards, Anthony.

Thank you, BeatMaker. I really enjoy receiving positive comments; it's always a genuine pleasure for me.
Best regards, Anthony.

Hello Alex,
I am really glad you enjoyed the quality of execution. I completely understand the challenge of following along in a possibly foreign language; I often have the same difficulty. That's why having the lyrics written down is so important. Unfortunately, there was a serious issue with Manuela and the lyrics are no longer available. I am not sure I can recreate them accurately since there's always the risk of getting some parts wrong. However, I am confident there was no bad language or anything disrespectful to the listeners. Thanks again for taking the time to listen and share your thoughts on the track.
Best regards, Anthony

You're right, the guitar falls out of pace in one part of the song, but I didn't fix it. I uploaded the track as soon as I could because I wanted to show Manuela how inspiring her vocals were, especially considering the song was made in just an afternoon. Yes, there are mistakes, but it's essentially raw material.
Thanks a lot for the listen and the kind words. Cubase is great software indeed. I also use Zenbeats from the Roland cloud project, less frequently but is deserves a look.
Best regards, Anthony

Hello there
It was a real pleasure to attempt with Manuela's vocals and it pleasant as well, to see it was liked by the members of LM. It was pleasant though to lose Manuela from our friends. It was an unfair attack and without any reason. Who had do lose what and how? I hope she'll be O.K and s very good luck to their new album about the soccer worldcup.
Thank Frenz, thanks so much for the listen and your kind words.
Best regards, Anthony

Hello Richard
You do understand I am really glad you like the track; it was meant to show Manuela how much her work as a vocal artist can evoke music and emotions within each of us. I am content that you seem to agree with it. This is the role of this exchange on the site, to get productive and to get a bit happy (why not after all). So thank you my friend, I truly appreciate your supportive attitude and your kind words.
Best regards, Anthony

Thank you Kayos2
I feel really happy when I read such a comment. I am so glad you found the track lyrical, because it is something I really hope when making music. Of course much of this lyricism whas already embedded in the vocals from Manuela, but yes I tried my instruments to take part to this beautiful scenery.
Best regards, Anthony

Hello Rita
Thank you so much for listening and commenting on the track. I am really glad you liked it. Yes I wanted to bring Manuela's voice out while keeping the originality of her harmonies. It was this calm way I believed it would do so as I told you, I am very content that you do believe it was successful.
Best regards, Anthony

Thank you, Robin. It's really nice to see that you enjoyed this song. You are one of those people who are always supportive and kind-hearted, and that's truly appreciated.

Thank you Glenn
It is so pleasant to know that you liked the song. I have tried to interpret in music the emotions that derive from this acapella. There are moments of high energy as you have listened and I had to decide how to treat them, so when I get an approval signal I feel content.
Thanks again, Anthony

The respect is mutual, my friend. It's not just about making music, but also about the way you address others and the clarity you radiate as a person, even from a long distance in front of a monitor. Thank you so much for listening and commenting on this song, where Manuela truly delivers a great performance.
Best regards, Anthony.

What a beautiful sentence, it contains so many words.
I am really glad you enjoy my work and, of course, that you appreciate this song built around Manuela's amazing vocals. Thank you, Dan.
Best regards, Anthony.

Thanks so much for the kind words. I am really glad you liked this attempt, especially since it's not just a personal project but something that has to live up to the original material from Manuela, which is no easy feat. She is such a talented artist, and the expectations are understandably high.
Best regards, Anthony

Thank you, I am so glad to see that this piece of music is appreciated by fellow creators on LM! Hearing that you loved it brings me so much closer to what I aim for in making music.
Best regards, Anthony

Thank you, Paul.
It's such a great feeling to see this kind of connection through music, lyrics, and performance; it's like a whole world we live in, one that should remain our refuge, a protected space for dreamers. We need to ride high sometimes, why not after all?
Best wishes, Anthony
