Yay!, “Onyria” is finally released and I couldn’t be happier, after this long period of work, introspection and silence. It has been an incredible long journey, and each and every person listed below has played a crucial role in the creation of "Onyria." ❤️
As I said previously, this is by far, the most meaningful project in which I've been involved, and I know I wouldn't be able to complete it without them... As such, I'd like to express my eternal gratitude to the best team of vocalists, performers and colleagues I've ever worked with,
which includes:
Lara Ausensi,Clara Sorace,Merethe Soltvedt,Julie Elven, Nelly Monk, Estela Martin,Irene Rodríguez, Celica Soldream, Marta Merino aka (Lady Nüe),Pablo Cano,William Arnold, Javier Márquez,Sean Pádraig, Graham Rorie, Mirela Magdalena Nita,Jessiah van Dongen, and Alex Fayle.
They all contributed in different ways, to the success of this project with their endless talent, professionalism, and attention to the smallest detail, and I truly appreciate their patience, efforts and time spent making this dream, a reality. I’m lost for words to express how grateful I am.
Thanks to my dear friends Pau Canyigueral and Marc Timón Barceló, for their genuine friendship, passion, and enthusiasm, which made the scoring sessions a breeze and an unforgettable experience.
Kudos to the amazing Emporion Orchestra and Choir for pushing my music to its limits and making me cry with every song they performed. What a wonderful people... Also to Marcel Sabaté Reixach, Jaume Sabate Reixach,Toni París Taurà and all the performers of the GIO Symphonia for their lovely contribution to "Anima Libera."
To sound engineers Marc Blanes and Adrià Martinez for their exceptional professionalism, pristine sound and their assistance throughout the recording sessions, as well as to Jordi Subirats and Marc Recasens for the wonderful video recordings.
Thanks to Esteve Nabona, Maria Ibarz, El Palau de la Música Catalana, and the magnificent Cor Jove de l'Orfeó Català for their hard work, passion and the love they put into every note.
To Josep Vila Jover, Laura Ulldemolins, and all the beautiful voices of the children's choir VEUS - Cor Infantil Amics de la Unió, for bringing their innocence and magic touch to my music, as well as to the staff of L'Auditori de Barcelona for their help and flexibility during the recording sessions.
To resume, THANK YOU, everyone involved in the making of “ONYRIA” for making it possible, and especially to my family, my friends, and the whole audience and fans around the world, which makes me feel that every step I’ve walked, every tear and sleepless night until I arrived to this very day, has worth it.
I hope you enjoy it and wish you all a Merry Christmas and an outstanding 2023 full of joy, health, and hopefully a better world where peace reigns once and for all.
As always, Much Love, ❤️
Ivan
