Mike Oldfield - Hibernaculum (Cover)

I couldn't get this track out of my head until i finished my own version! So here is my remix of Alpha by the one and only VANGELIS!

Alpha - Vangelis (Occams Laser remix)

Finally after almost a year Quenya Projects releases a new song again, this version is a tribute too Enya, and we wanted to cover her latest single “Even in the Shadows”.
First Matt and John made a instrumental version until we were completely satisfied, then we wanted to find the right singer, but that was a lot harder then we expected, especially because of all harmonies and weird attacks involved in this song.
We already made a wonderful song together with Daphne Braaksma in the past, so we asked her if she wanted and could do it, and she immediately accepted the invitation.
After all her recordings / tracks were cleaned and synced with all harmonies we also created with the instruments (which took a lot of time), we continued making / sending new recordings back and forth till we were all satisfied with this final mix.
This project shows and proofs to me how much talents are within the SC community, and we’re certainly looking forward doing more songs in the style of Enya, Secret Garden and ERA, covers and originals. Making NewAge music is always the goal of Quenya Projects, to let talents collaborate with each other.

Technical structure of the song:
The most difficult thing to sing this song is the fact that none of the 4 points of attack (sync points) are the same, this song contains 4 points of attack, 3 of them are done by Cello’s, bass drum and the Piano, the 4th is the solo voice, we included the specific melody line for the solo voice in our initial instrumental version so she could hear how it needed to be sang, the harmonies are slightly off as well and tend to follow the cello’s.
When we received all tracks from Daphne, we dropped all melody tracks from the project, and replaced them with her vocal tracks, then I had to make sure that her harmonies stayed in sync with the cello’s so with a lot of cutting and multi layering I was able to get all the tracks to sound as one as much as possible.
We had no intention to make Daphne sound like Enya, we still wanted to keep our own signature, so we didn’t use very much effects at all, the main thing was to clean her tracks from mic-plops and background noices, so mostly what you hear is what I received from Matt and Daphne, I only made some slight changes, and added / multi layered some instruments, and created an extra ALT voice to carry / support her voice.
I am very proud of the performance of, and working together with Matt Baker and Daphne Braaksma, their great talents and skills makes creating and producing music a real treat and fun to do for me, and I am sincerely looking forward doing more songs with them, it does motivates me to continue, cheers John.

We all hope you’ll enjoy our version of Enya’s beauty just as much as we did making it, your comments, feedback  and advices are very much appreciated as always, as it helps us to grow with our music.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Even in the shadows
I turn around
To find you walk away
And even when I whisper
The winds will come
To steal the words I say

[Chorus]
I could fall and keep on falling
I could call and keep on calling
Wonder why this love is over
Wonder why it’s not forever more

[Verse 2]
Even in the silence
I hear my heart
It’s still a part of you
And even in the morning
When light has come
I don’t know what to do

[Chorus]
I could fall and keep on falling
I could call and keep on calling
Wonder why this love is over
Wonder why it’s not forever more
