AVIVA CHERNICK:
WHEN I ARRIVED,
YOU WERE ALREADY THERE
Produced by Aviva Chernick, & Chris Gartner
Mastered by Taras Petryk
Aviva was nominated as
"Best World Solo Artist of the Year"
with this album by the
Canadian Folk Music Awards.
"I am not the first and I am sure not the last happy musician who has had the pleasure of working on an album alongside Chris Gartner.
In this case, hours and hours of patient editing and mixing, choosing, mining, listening and shaping. My top choice producer! A treat also to have his beautiful bass on this album."
Aviva Chernick
"The melodies transport the listener with a meditative and transcendent character, while the accompanying musicians on a number of exotic instruments provide more intricate and varied textures, elegantly lending elements of rock, jazz and world fusion....
The relationships of breath/spirit, creativity/divinity, nature/renewal, family and community are explored on many levels in this deeply heartfelt and
personal offering.
Dianne Wells, The Whole Note
“Voices and instruments come together beautifully on this record with a distinctly hymnal vibe.”
Errol Nazareth, CBC Radio 1
"From the whispered beginnings of “Eili” with elements of flute, electric guitar and trance-like percussion to the more hook-like “Bo’i Kalah” with its guitar-led chorus of singers, Aviva’s ethereal vocals are eloquently showcased throughout."
Anya Wassenberg, Art and Culture Maven
