I Am Rising High Feat Manuela Boekels - AnthonyAttard

7th Jun 2026 16:51 - 3 months ago
Description : The production of this song came together surprisingly quickly. It might be a bit premature to share, but I wanted to show Manuela just how inspiring and motivational her vocals can be. She shared this raw material and harmonies, melodies, rhythm , a song came to life. Manuela is a fine artist I highly respect so I truly enjoyed this work. Hope you will like it too.
There are mistakes in the answer to The Frenz...it was unpleasant to lose Manuela, of course...and other minor ones

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

Hi Anthony!
Congrats for this cool music you made under Manu's vocal.
The production is too good as the mix/master.
Though, one thing with the instrumentation: missing the bass guitar, there is no low end of the music. This could be only me as the bass guitar player, so forgive me!!! :-)
All in all, great prod!
Fistbump,
Danke

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

Wow, what a beautiful piece of music. Those vocals are epic. Manuela really nailed it. You did it so much honor to make the instrumental support and enhance her voice. Never overshadowing her performance but shining where it should. The mix is really good as well. Vocals nice in the mix and everything crisp and clear. Insta-favourite!

Sometimes I think songs like these should be radio-friendly. It's hard for me to understand their meaning. However, if I were to evaluate a specific track, namely this one, I would say that it Good quality of execution.
AnthonyAttard
AnthonyAttard replied 24th Jun 2026 - 2 months ago
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

Hey man! Manuela has an awesome voice. The guitar and drums are nice as well, though they seem to fall out of pace a few times. I need to learn Cubase! I hear its great for recordings. I'm a PT guy since I began but maybe it's time to stretch out my fingers a little bit lol. Good stuff here!
AnthonyAttard
AnthonyAttard replied 18th Jun 2026 - 2 months ago
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

Wonderful result, Manuela's vocal and your beautiful composition, I enjoyed the listen a lot. Also good to see that multiple LM members picked up the tab to embrace the vocal with their own interpretations.

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

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.

Hi Anthony.
Im 100% agree with you about Manuela's voice.
She has such a beautiful, pure voice that hits all pitches with long sustained notes.
In my opinion, her voice suits every beat and genre.
The beat you created is beautiful and calm, and it brings out her voice well.
You have successfully achieved what you wanted.

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.

What a marvel to have the talent to set Manuela's voice to music.
I loved the acoustic guitar from the very beginning.

And what I loved most was the unity and collaboration I see in this great family (LM).
Congratulations on your work.

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

Description : This is my first track after a long break during which I lacked inspiration and my voice wouldn't do what I was used to.
Most of you know that I sustained serious injuries from a fall. That was nearly a year ago now; my life has changed completely and consists mainly of therapy. Progress is so slow that it doesn't exactly lift one's spirits, and that is part of the reason for my absence. My passion for music is still there, but it's somewhat buried.

Happy moments, joy, pain, desperation, terminal illness... there's a begining and always the end... always. I used some samples in this track. This track is very personal...why? All was described above. Enjoy and think about the journey of your life...
