ORS Music: “The Love of God Is Greater Far” Live at Life Connection Church

Kyle — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 02:52:49 +0000

This was just one of my favorite times of worship ever, I don’t think that’s over stating it. First off this song is one of the greatest hymns ever written, lyrically unmatched in both creativity and power. It’s almost hard for me to believe it was written by man. Second, God was moving so powerfully amongst our body, we tried to end the song as planned and as you can hear the church didn’t let it end. So we end up bringing it back and singing it one more time through, it was just insane.

The mics that are picking up the church singing aren’t even meant to pickup crowd noise, they are in the back of the room pointing towards the stage for our in ear “house” mix. It was LOUD. Once again the performance is far from flawless, but I know there are many in our church that will want to have this moment captured. Love my church.

Frederick M. Lehman wrote Love of God in 1917, but borrowed portions from a very old Jewish poem(Haddamut) that was found written on the inside wall of once of the cells in an insane asylum in 1050. Out of the most desperate physical place came one of the most beautiful texts we have to sing.

Audio: How we do instrumental Puritan prayer readings in service

Kyle — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 17:17:44 +0000

For quite some time we’ve regularly been opening our services with a Puritan prayer reading. We do these readings over a variety of instrumental pieces, usually riff ideas that we’ve been playing around with that sometimes turn into full songs. In this case we just took a riff from one of the songs we were playing in the set, but a lot of you have asked to hear what these readings sound like, so here ya go.

This prayer was recorded live at Life Connection Church on 5/15/11 and is called Fullness In Christ and can be found in the book The Valley of Vision – A Collection of Puritan prayers

Loop available: “The Solid Rock” by Edward Mote

Kyle — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:21:55 +0000

Over the past couple years my heart has really been moved towards re-arranging hymns, due in large part to the influence of Mars Hill’s worship leaders but also due to a conviction on singing theologically rich lyrics. One of my favorite hymns is “The Solid Rock” by Edward Mote. I’ve done a couple versions of this song and always enjoyed E-pop’s version of this song, but on one particular listen it moved from appreciation to an urgency to do it.

Most of the time I try and respond to that urgency in my spirit, there are a lot of songs I have in the queue to loop so I have to prioritize in some way. So this arrangement is a version off of the E-pop arrangement. Same hook in the piano melody but used some different instrumentation, rhythm and added a more heavy instrumental section.

Remember to vote on the loop below, this really helps me get a sense of what folks find useful. Also it is used to calculate top loops widget in sidebar for people to quickly see the better loops.

Song release: “Live or No Longer Live” by Kyle Campos (Live)

Kyle — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:00:18 +0000

This song has been a long, adventurous process. I didn’t write it as a corporate worship song, it actually came together after some wrestling I was doing with God over Lordship of my life. I spoke in a recent Sunday Set List at length about the background of the song but essentially dealt with me handing over my security to Jesus.

The song is based primarily out of Philippians 1, which was challenging to work out of. The text is supremely rich, just not the most melodic phrases to work with, so it was a challenge but I wanted to use it. This recording is from the 2nd time we ever played it live. There’s plenty left to do with the song arrangement wise, so this is pretty raw but I like to get a picture of where the song is heading first naturally before working on tighter arrangement details, loops and such. I really question my judgment releasing songs publicly that are so early in the process, but getting critique at this point is always helpful.

Lyrics:

Verse:
The passions of our youth, faded into sin
We laid waste to our call, and shame took us in
But you reached out in the night, left ninety nine behind
A dead man you found, filthy and bound
You loosened the binds, and life now I find

Lead me to live, lead me to live (x2)

Chorus:
Adonai, You gave me life
Now lead me in all that I do
Adonai, in this heart of mine
Shape me in the image of you

Chorus-Out 1:
Rejoicing in all things we sing
Christ be honored now
If we live or no longer live

Chorus-Out 2:
To live is for Christ, die is gain
We are not ashamed
If we live or no longer live

Our Rising Sound live worship: “True Love”

Kyle — Wed, 06 May 2009 17:03:38 +0000

This performance of “True Love” by Phil Wickham was recorded live at Life Connection Church in Phoenix AZ on 4-26-09. It was recorded using this modest setup and using the short intro version of the True Love loop released here on ORS. There is a lot of room for improvement and that’s the primary(currently only) reason we record our live sets, to see where we need to improve. So this is just my band being transparent to our process, a humbling adventure but I’m proud of the progress our band has made in a short time and look forward to improving together going forward.

Wedding music reflections on our anniversary

Kyle — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 18:27:08 +0000

Today marks 8 years of marriage to my beautiful wife Melissa. Much has changed since we married on April 14th, 2001, much has grown, much has been gained and lost. We are now 3 kids deep, we moved from our hometown of Santa Barbara CA to the desert, and I was able to convince Mel to enjoy a lot of foods she vowed she hated when we first met. A couple days ago I talked with my wife and we both agreed that each year we learn something new about each other that causes us to fall deeper in love. I know my wife so much better today than in 2001 and our love truly keeps on growing.

I thought a cool way to tie today’s celebration into ORS would be to take a musical journey through our wedding, the songs we chose and why. So let’s get started.

Wedding party walk in

Ben Harper – The Three of Us (Welcome to the Cruel World)

Download audio file (01%20The%20Three%20Of%20Us.mp3)

I love the vibe of this acoustic instrumental. Felt like a perfect fit for the initial wedding party walk in. Just the right length and everything.

Here comes the bride

Deseree – Kissing You (Supernatural)

Download audio file (Kissing%20You.mp3)

The greatest moment in our wedding, the coolest thing I’ve seen in any wedding, with all due respect to my friends and family who thought they had cool parts in their wedding, this beat em all. My wife starts her walk down the aisle from this trail (actually called the Campos trail) that winds down the hill from above the grass area the wedding is at. This song is playing as she walks down the path, obstructed by trees and rock, then emerges and walks across the creek and down the aisle.

Ceremony walk out

Victoria Williams – Let It Be So (Musings of a Creekdipper)

Download audio file (14%20Let%20It%20Be%20So.mp3)

One of the greatest wedding songs ever written, in fact I believe Victoria wrote it for her sister’s wedding. Joyous, unique, truthful lyrics, just seemed like the greatest way to wrap up the ceremony. Walk out in joy and have some fun after being uptight and formal for too long.

First Dance

Stevie Wonder – Ribbon in the Sky (Original Musiquarium I)

Download audio file (1-11%20Ribbon%20In%20The%20Sky.mp3)

Probably one of the most popular wedding songs of all time. The only reason I didn’t want to dance to this song was due to it’s popularity, but then I thought that’s a dumb reason. We both loved the song and it felt so perfect to dance to so who cares if others feel the same way. Nobody does it like Stevie, just beautiful beautiful music plain and simple.

Special Dance

Kyle Campos – Become One (Pneumatics Demo)

Download audio file (05%20Become%20One.mp3)

I wrote this song especially for our wedding, it was a simple love song to my wife. One a couple weeks before our wedding I sat down and just started writing my my heart and hopes for the future. I wanted to thank God and give credit to him for bringing us together and then sing our hope and desire for the future. It was hastily recorded, maybe even the night before the wedding, I can’t remember but I know I was panicking. Despite it’s rough quality it expressed my heart to my wife and she loved it so that’s all that matters. The lyrics to this song were also in my vows to my wife in the ceremony.

Party Dance

Earth Wind & Fire – September (Discover Earth, Wind and Fire)

Download audio file (September.mp3)

My favorite group and song to dance to. I LOVE Earth, Wind and Fire, nobody breaks it down like them. Ridiculous vocals, crazy hip rockin disco, they are the bomb. our party hasn’t started until the first EW&F song drops, believe it.

Looking back on that day makes me smile and see just how lucky I am. I love my wife and family. Happy Anniversary Mel!

Loop available: “True Love” by Phil Wickham

Kyle — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:53:18 +0000

True Love by Phil Wickham is truly an amazing song and it’s always been on my short list for songs to loop, but it shot to the top of the list when Easter planning started. Too bad I started planning late because this loop took me forever. It was quite challenging for me to arrange mostly due to the fact that there’s going to be some art and drama elements done while playing it, so I had to create some space for that. The version released here closely follows the recorded arrangement (parts not instrumentation) once you get past the intro.

You can stream the loop below but you are not able to download the loop. In order to download the loop files you need to send payment through PayPal. The price for this loop is $4.99. Once payment is received I’ll contact you and give you download instructions. The following is what’s delivered upon receipt of payment:

Sunday Wrap-Up: “Ryan Delmore leads worship”

Kyle — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 18:03:29 +0000

This past weekend we had Ryan Delmore out to lead worship for our Anthropology Men’s Conference. Ryan did an incredible job and was a huge blessing for our men. Ryan also stayed and led worship for our Sunday service and our entire congregation was so blessed and honored to have him. Everyone entered in right away, sang their guts out even to songs they didn’t know. It was a privilege for my band to play with Ryan and we had a blast hanging out with him for a few days.

If you haven’t yet heard Ryan’s music, then you can read my review of his record “The Spirit, the Water and the Blood“ and it has links to purchase. We did a video wrap up with Ryan but unfortunately it looks like it didn’t save to my HD for some reason, project is there but video file is not. It could be that I over-wrote it when my drummer Jon Utter and Ryan did their little tip of the hat to James Brown.

Jon goes Brownalishess with Delmore from Our Rising Sound on Vimeo.

I think you enjoyed this video more than the wrap up anyway. Again HUGE thanks to Ryan Delmore, he’s an amazing friend, worship leader and man of God, awesome to be able to connect with him. I mixed a little worship sampler from the set, a minute or 2 from each song, entire set condensed to 10 minutes. So you can listen to that below. Here was the set:

Glory to the King – Chris Lizotte
The World Can’t Take it Away – Ryan Delmore
Jesus Name – Ryan Delmore
Open the Eyes of My Heart – Paul Baloche
I Wanna See Like Isaiah Saw – Ryan Delmore
You Are So Good to Me – Waterdeep

Loop available: “Hosanna” by Hillsong

Kyle — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 16:03:59 +0000

I’ve been working on this loop for a few weeks and used it twice in service. I’ve been with-holding it’s release because I have a few more ideas that I want to try out before I ‘ll consider it done, but I figure why not expose that process. So I’m going to release this loop for Hosanna as version 1, when I complete it I’ll release another version and you can see the difference. I’ve made available 2 versions below, one with acoustic and the other without.

There’s a couple things to watch out for on this loop that differ from the album arrangement.

Intro starts with a pad, then drum pattern, then the piano riff comes in. Verse 1 starts at bar 35 (00:53)
The solo section is twice as long. I do a solo for the first half then we sing a tag that I wrote on the back half. Solo section comes in at bar 119 (3:05) and stops at bar 151 (3:55).

I think besides those 2 things I repeat sections as the album does. Don’t forget to rate the loop below and please comment with any questions or feedback you may have.

Loop available: “Lead Me to the Cross” by Hillsong United

Kyle — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:24:12 +0000

I finally got around to programming a loop for one of my favorite Hillsong tunes, Lead Me to the Cross. This one took me a long time to get satisfied with. I knew I wanted to remix it some, I didn’t want to play it the same old way. So what I ended up doing was changing the drum rhythm and creating a sort of Radiohead In Rainbows odd downbeat thing happening. Our drummer Jonathan did a brilliant job getting a killer beat around this track, I’m sorry the rest of your teams don’t have my drummer.

I followed the album as far as sectional(verse/chorus/bridge) arrangement so that should make things easier for those thinking of using this. As you may or may not know I have a 3 piece band instrumentally, drums, bass and me on electric guitar, no acoustic guitar (ohhhhhh myyyyyy goshhhhhhhhh). So I have 2 versions of this loop, one with acoustic and one without for most of you out there who have live acoustic.

Loop available: “Our God Reigns – Delirious” (Updated)

Kyle — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:45:48 +0000

I originally posted this loop back in July and have had some ask more details about the arrangement. So I’m reposting with some more details and releasing it on the podcast. The first time I heard Our God Reigns by Delirious I was incredibly moved. It’s just such a powerful melody.

I started experimenting with some string arrangements and stumbled on an arrangement I really liked. I knew I wanted to introduce the song slowly so I started out with an electronic pattern sequence, then built some drums on it, then brought in the strings. Slowly layering as the song progressed. I do a break down at 2:25 that has some violin plucking and a voice pad, then bring back all the instruments for the finish.

If you would like to know the gruesome details as to how I arranged live instruments on this then leave a comment and I’ll get back to you. Enjoy.

Kyle — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 21:22:26 +0000

I previously released a loop for another song Where We Belong off this same album, This Is Our God. This song, With Everything, is actually my favorite song off this album, but I initially found it a bit strange how quickly this song jumped into the tag. I knew I liked the song but wasn’t sure I was sold on the arrangement. Well after listening for weeks it grew on me and I worked on the loop.

I follow the weird arrangement, not instrumentally but where the song is going, as the cd. So it should be easy to follow along in the loop. The tag is where I took it the song in a different direction instrumentally. I have some pulsating bass tones, dark n warm synths, strings, bells, and then some spacey tones towards the end. Overall I’m pleased with how it came together, let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Kyle — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:41:24 +0000

We Cry Out was written by Brian and Jenn Johnson but made popular by Kim Walker’s performance. This loop follows the arrangement that Kim Walker used, same key as well. It’s a great song that is mostly guitars and rhythm. So the loop uses a mellow pad through the song with a rhythm element and a few other rhythmic synth elements. It’s a pretty mellow loop that lets the guitars shine through.

Loop available: “Solid Rock” by Delirious

Kyle — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:30:06 +0000

This loop is for Delirious’ arrangement of Solid Rock off their Now Is the Time album. I followed their arrangement except for the intro. The intro has a silent 2 bar click in, then a syth bass comes in and does some weird stuff, then the main riff comes in at bar 15 and the band(including guitar riff) comes in at bar 19. From then on it follows the album arrangement.

The loop is pretty sparse besides the main synth/bass riff. I added some synth on the chorus and some shaker, but besides that it’s the synth and guitar riff carrying the song. I had delayed releasing this because I’ve always wanted to take it in another direction at some point, but that direction hasn’t come into my head yet. So I’ll release another version if it ever comes.

I know quite a few of our readers are Demon Hunter fans. Resurgence has posted part 1 of Tim Smith’s interview with the band and they talk about their upbringing, how their parents struggled with their tattoos and how the band started.

Loop available – “Where We Belong” by Hillsong

Kyle — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:13:54 +0000

This is off the new Hillsong album This Is Our God, aka “the Healer album”. I only like a few off this album and this is definitely one of them. The phrasing of the chorus and the lyric “where we belong” just really sunk with me. Lyrically I think this is one of Hillsong’s stronger songs, a lot of powerful statements like “your grace beyond reason has paid for our freedom.” Powerful.

Remember the purpose of making these loops available is so that any worship leaders out there using loops can freely take and use. I make the Reason file available so you can make modifications if desired as well. If you don’t have Reason and have a simple request like muting a certain instrument then I can give that to you, just let me know.

This is song gave me fits. I love the song and we’ve done it a lot in our church but I put it on the shelf until I finished the loop track. While I like the original I wanted to go in a different direction guitar wise. That ended up taking me down a different path completely on the instrumental. So programming this song took a few sessions, lots of false starts on this one creatively. But I think it’s to a point now where I’m happy with the direction and overall quality. We’ll roll with it like this in worship for a while and see how it goes. As always comment with any questions or comments.

Kyle — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:49:38 +0000

My favorite song of the latest Delirious album by far. This song has gone over great in worship in the past and I was anxious to get it back in the rotation. The loop is pretty sparse on the verses, just a short voice pad and a few bell tones, the pre-chorus and chorus have piano, strings, and a repeated bell melody. The outro on the album goes crazy, I went less crazy but there are still quite a few things going on by that point. As usual, if you find this useful or helpful please comment back and let me know how you used it, or what changes you made or if you have any questions on the exact arrangement.

I first heard this song after watching Mars Hill’s spontaneous baptism video they released on their easter service this year. It was one of the most beautifully arranged songs I’d heard and I was tremendously moved. So this loop is a completely transparent attempt to duplicate the genius of what Tim Smith did with this song. I have no shame in admitting it, well there is some shame but honestly the song is an amazing proclamation of Jesus’ greatness and goodness and should be played in a lot more churches. Thanks to Joe Day for pointing me to Taylor Sorensen, the original author, this guy sounds fantastic and his original acoustic version is awesome as well.

This song I warp and transpose to G in Ableton, very easy to warp this loop due to the consistent kick.

This arrangement is identical to the album release as far as song arrangement goes. The instrumentation is a bit different on the intro where I used a rhodes, the string melody on the chorus out is a bit different and the verse breakdown after the chorus has some additional ambient instrumentation. If anyone is interested in using it and would like a version without the guitars then I can post that as well or you can download the reason(rns) file which doesn’t have any guitars. In my band I didn’t want to lose the distorted rhythm guitar by playing these leads so it made sense for me to put the lead on the track.

Ryan Delmore Interview Wrap-Up

Kyle — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:19:33 +0000

It was my great honor to interview Vineyard recording artist and 5 Cities Vineyard Worship Pastor Ryan Delmore. I posted the interview in 3 parts last week and I’ve included all of them below. Ryan’s new cd The Spirit, the Water, and the Blood is now on sale at Vineyard Music. I’ve heard a few tracks and they are amazing so please do yourself a favor and buy the cd.

Part 1

Ryan and I discuss his family background, church background, how he started leading worship and the importance of youth worship development in the church.

Download audio file (Ryan_Delmore-Interview-Pt1.mp3)

Download interview

Part 2

Ryan and I discuss more on his band experience in the church and outside the church, we riff a bit on worship band improvisation and how the Vineyard has cultivated that atmosphere in its worship bands. I also asked Ryan about his songwriting technique and if he has 2 creative avenues, one for the church and another less creatively binding avenue for songs that might not be intended for corporate worship. His answer was humble and profound and I think is something a lot of new young worship leaders should pray on.

“If I get a good melody, or some good chords, I don’t wanna waste them on something that doesn’t point people to God.” -Ryan Delmore

If you’re a worship leader that plays outside the church in other bands I think this statement is a challenging one. There’s much more to that answer in the interview so listen up!

Part 3

Ryan and I talk about the origins of his new cd and how it took shape, how Marc Ford, former guitarist for the Black Crowes, got involved in the project, Ryan teases on a possible tour with Chris Lizotte following Chris release of his latest record and finally I get to ask Ryan “What’s Next?” for corporate worship in his neck of the woods.

Ryan Delmore Interview – Part 3

Kyle — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 19:03:06 +0000

I had the great pleasure recently of interviewing Ryan Delmore of Vineyard Music and 5 Cities Vineyard. Ryan has a new cd coming out in October entitled The Spirit, the Water and the Blood.

In Part 3 Ryan and I talk about the origins of his new cd and how it took shape, how Marc Ford, former guitarist for the Black Crowes, got involved in the project, Ryan teases on a possible tour with Chris Lizotte following Chris release of his latest record and finally I get to ask Ryan “What’s Next?” for corporate worship in his neck of the woods.

This is the final part of this interview series and I’d like to thank Ryan for taking the time to chat. I feel like I’ve made a friend and that truly is the best part of running this site, meeting so many other great people who are so talented. For those at LCC I’m hoping we can arrange Ryan to come visit and lead in some worship so stay tuned.

I had the great pleasure recently of interviewing Ryan Delmore of Vineyard Music and 5 Cities Vineyard. Ryan has a new cd coming out in October entitled The Spirit, the Water and the Blood.

In Part 2 Ryan and I discuss more on his band experience in the church and outside the church, we riff a bit on worship band improvisation and how the Vineyard has cultivated that atmosphere in its worship bands. I also asked Ryan about his songwriting technique and if he has 2 creative avenues, one for the church and another less creatively binding avenue for songs that might not be intended for corporate worship. His answer was humble and profound and I think is something a lot of new young worship leaders should pray on.

“If I get a good melody, or some good chords, I don’t wanna waste them on something that doesn’t point people to God.” -Ryan Delmore

If you’re a worship leader that plays outside the church in other bands I think this statement is a challenging one. There’s much more to that answer in the interview so listen up!

I want to make available to anyone interested the Reason backtracks and loops that I’m writing and using in my band. Your feedback is welcome and you are free to download and use in any way that benefits your church. I’ve included the mp3 as a playable link (RSS readers need to click through) on the post and the download link will download the higher quality aif. I’ve also included the Reason 4 file so you can modify in whatever way you please. Obviously my arrangement is tailored to my bands needs and probably won’t match yours exactly.

We performed this during last week’s set and there may be space for a few more things in the outro, but overall I like the space in this arrangement and gives a lot of room for guitars.

I recently talked with John Mark McMillan about his upcoming cd titled “The Medicine” which is now available for pre-order and cds start shipping on September 9th, 2008. Our discussion is very informal with a fair amount of music tech talk, so please excuse the informality, I’m not exactly Larry King. We discuss everything from fatherhood, to some recording techniques he’s using in the studio, to what God was doing in him during this latest record, to how How He Loves almost didn’t make the last record.
