“Here I Am Because I Love You” – featuring Lucy Stimpson- Maynard from the album “Where Would I Be Without You? recorded by Ross Gill
As I said last week my dear friend Nikki Bovis- Coulter – www.enviro-art.co.uk has been working hard on the artwork for the Risen!- The Musical double CD and thanks so much to her for the amazing patience she showed in making change after change as proof read after proof read showed up my error after error. However we got there in the end and today’s featured pic gives a preview of the front and back of the CD booklet.
Another great friend and ex -Crofton student is Tim Courtnell who works for Sound Performance Ltd. It is his company that will be manufacturing the Risen!- The Musical double CDs. We are starting with 1000 being replicated -for those that aren’t sure, replication is the process by which a glass master is made and CDs are produced in large quantities. Duplication is the method by which shorter runs can be made by “burning” the CDs using computers; we are having 30 promo copies made using the latter method with Dr Graham Giles taking some to America.
I am in the process of speaking with a number of different agencies to ensure that distribution of Risen! is a large as possible. Of course we are also hoping that Dr Graham Giles’ invitation to President Barack Obama’s Annual Prayer Breakfast will be a “doorway” to distribution in the USA. (see blog January 15th)
Today’s featured song is “Here I am Because I Love You” – an adapted version of the chorus is used in the Risen! track “Jesus You are the Christ” sung by the disciple John together with the Risen! ensemble.
