"You Can Fly (Peter Pan)" - Rendezvous Quartet (Live in the Studio)

Please watch in HD!

My quartet Rendezvous had the pleasure of recording a 7 song EP in October of 2009 here in Toronto. My older sister Sarah, a Ryerson University media student, was able to secure us some studio time as well as coordinate and co-produce the session along with myself.

"You Can Fly" is from Disney's "Peter Pan". It was adapted for barbershop by Clay Hine and made famous by the quartet "Max Q". Our good friend Jean-Baptiste Craipeau sent us his transcription in the winter of 2008 of this song (youtube user: jibcraip).

Bass : Calvin Frank (mrcalvinfrank)
Baritone : Andrew Kesler (andrewkesler)
Lead : Brodie Cuff (brodiecuff)
Tenor : Danny Fong (daniscool99)

Working in the booth along with my sister was our good friend and amazing drummer Tristan Henderson (check him out in my videos of "Nardis" and "In the Beginning"). Tristan engineered the session and did most of the mixing along with myself. The final mixes of all the tunes were completed in early February and I've been slowly working away on the videos when i've had time.

*If you're interested in getting your hands on mp3s of our work, feel free to send me a private message and I'll get back to you!*

Equipment used:
Blue Bottle (Danny), Neumann TLM 103 (Brodie), Neumann TLM 49 (Calvin), Blue Berry (Andrew)

NOT SHOWN: 2 Apex 435's placed in opposite room corners for Stereo effect, and a large diaphragm condenser mic placed high up in the center of the room. Note: The room was TERRIBLE for barbershop singing, which was a bit of a drag, but we did it anyways.

Recorded and mixed on Protools 8. Video shot with some random nice camera (it was dark in the room so I lightened it so it looks kinda grainy). Video edited with Final Cut Pro. NO PITCH CORRECTION OF ANY KIND USED! What you're seeing is what you're hearing. EQ, Compression, Limiting, Reverbs (long and short) and other such plug-ins used, as well as volume automation.

*Don't forget to rate and subscribe and comment and all that. We'd really appreciate if you'd share this with your friends and family because we don't make any money doing this and it takes lots of work, so getting some extra exposure helps out a lot!*

Thanks, and enjoy!

I always wanted to ask this question, but what happened to calvin? Why'd u guys replace him with Rob?

[AndrewKesler]

@Peterya95 It's nothing sinister or anything. Last fall Calvin moved back to his hometown a few hours away and decided to focus on his photography business (he's really quite good), and during this time we got Rob to sub for us for a few shows and recordings and then it became a pretty seamless transition. Rob had sung with Danny and Brodie in Humber's top vocal jazz group so that's how we knew him. I love singing with Calvin and Rob, they're both amazing singers and great friends.

[AndrewKesler]

Dear every member of Rendezvous,

Your ability to sustain notes for obscene durations of time is astounding. Well, actually you guys are pretty astounding in general. The whole note sustaining thing just makes you guys astounding...er? Your collective awesome is hindering my ability to focus on coursework or formulate coherent sentences

*Sigh(ned) of admiration*
