| My Credit in Sandy Lam's (林憶蓮) Album Re:Workz |
I have to say that of all the incredible music projects I've worked on over the years, this has to be both my favourite and one that I feel really lucky to have been involved in. This is the kind of project you seldom hear about in modern times, where creativity is truly king, where amazingly talented musicians have the freedom to let their magic flow and where the producers have both an incredible master-plan and yet also enough vision to let the music carry them in the moment.
The Task
The brief for the project was extremely challenging: take a selection of Sandy Lam's (林憶蓮) most iconic hits from the last 20 years and re-work them for a 2013 release. Obviously creating completely new arrangements and production for some of Hong Kong's most famous and best known songs was a major challenge, which had to be matched with an extremely high level of performance from the musicians and of course Sandy's beautiful vocals. Expectations were incredibly high and the result the producers wanted was to have something that was both relevant to the current music trends, whilst also respecting the incredible source material. I'm very pleased to say that the team was more than up to the task and the album has been recognised by both critics and the public, winning a huge number of awards last year.
The Team
Kelvin Avon - Producer Extraordinaire
Jun Kung 恭碩良 - The Quintessential Musician / Songwriter / Producer / Drummer
Jesreal Lucero - The Unbelievably Talented and Blind from Birth Pianist
Derrick Sepnio - Creative Guitar Genius
Scott Dodd - Master of Electric & Upright Bass
Yuki Leung - My Partner in Crime
And of course the awesomely talented Sandy Lam 林憶蓮 herself
