The recent project, Yahweh, by Canadian by city musician Trevor Dick has received endorsements, industry acclaim and accolades.
Yahweh has received nominations in five categories for the GMA Canada Covenant Awards: Instrumental Album of the Year, Jazz/Blues Song of the Year (The Path), Instrumental Song of the Year (Passion), Classical – Traditional Song of the Year (Interlude – The Calling), and CD/DVD Artwork Design of the Year.
Inspired by Exodus 3:13-15, Yahweh (a 12 song album) is a fresh instrumental collection of timeless songs of faith mixed with some original compositions portraying the “I Am” character of God. It is an instrumental worship CD featuring the five-string electric violin, acoustic violins, and a live band production: a Canadian fusion of pop, urban, jazz, world beat rhythms with expansive sound track styling.
One of the ingredients behind the acclaim is the heightened production and recording quality. It was recorded live at Phase One Recording Studios in Toronto and engineered by Richard Cleaver,
Dick said, “We had the great honour of working with chief engineer, George Seara, whose recent clients include Anne Murray, Loreena McKennitt, Rihanna, Holly Cole, Sting, Herbie Hancock, and Finger Eleven. We more than met our goals. I am very pleased with the results so far – a beautiful, warm, sound and excellent playing from each band member.”
Recording artist Mike Janzen said, “The album sounds really great – refreshingly tight and well-produced.”
Five nominations for an instrumental album is commendable and Dick attributed the nominations to the Flyingbow ministry team effort.
The Yahweh album cover is from a commissioned painting by award-winning artist Newlove, who painted while listening to some early cuts.
