Loop available: “My Soul Sings” by Delirious

Tagged Under : , , , , ,

Delirious: Kingdom of ComfortMy 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.

Song: My Soul Sings by Delirious, Kingdom of Comfort

Audio: John Mark McMillan Interview on upcoming cd “The Medicine”

Tagged Under : , , ,

John Mark McMillan: The MedicineI 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.
