“Go the Distance (Hercules)” – Rendezvous Quartet (Live in the Studio)
Nov 26, 2010 amazing bass solos
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.
“Go the Distance” is from Disney’s “Hercules” and was written by Alan Menken. It was adapted for barbershop by Aaron Dale and made famous by the quartet “Vocal Spectrum”. Danny transcribed the recording in the winter of 2008 and it has become a crowd favourite at our shows!
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!

What’s goin’ on everybody?! Hope you guys are having a wonderful start to the new year!
For our second video of 2010, we chose “Endlessly” by the band, B4-4. It has always been one of our favorite songs to jam to, though it’s a little lesser known than the other ones we’ve covered so far. And that’s why we chose this absolutely BEAUTIFUL hidden gem of a song to share with you guys!! We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we have enjoyed performing it for you guys. =)
As you probably have noticed, there are only 3 of us singing in this video – Chris, Dom, and Del.
Last week, after one of our practices, Micah was involved in a serious car accident which left his car totaled. Thanks to God’s grace, he escaped with only an injured knee and ankle, along with a new lease on life.
We decided it was best to let him sit this one out and recover a little bit. But don’t worry, he’s doing fine and will be back singing with us real soon.
We thank you for all of your concern and for all of the prayers. We are truly blessed to have so much support and will continue to try our best to make you guys happy.
Have a happy and blessed new year!
Chris/Dom/Del/Micah

I don’t know you but I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me n’ always fool me
And I can’t react
Games that never amount to more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You’ll make it now (You’ve made it now)
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
You have suffered enough and warred with yourself
It’s time that you won
-CHORUS-
(instrumental): Am G F G Am G F
1, 2, 3, 4….
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You’ve made it now
Falling slowly, sing your me-lo -dy
I’ll sing it loud
