This blog examines, reviews and discusses how worship is being lived out in culture and in the church. We tackle everything from songwriting techniques in corporate worship, to interviewing worship leaders and pastors, to reviewing the last big rock concert.
New Creation is an incredible song from Dex Alexander and Fellowship Church. If you haven’t seen the video of their live performance make sure to check it out. I’ve had this in the queue to do for a long time, but it wasn’t until we decided to do this song for Easter that it rose to the top of the stack.
Fair warning, I really changed up the vibe on the intro and verses…it’s a true remix there. You can sing the same melody over it and hopefully get the feel for it. I also inserted a few more bars into the verse section to give space for an added vocal section we did. I don’t have a live recording of our performance yet to demonstrate our arrangement, but as always I have the arrangement file guiding you. And if you choose to purchase the arrangement can be altered for your taste.

This custom loop is for use with Misty Edwards’ “You Won’t Relent” off her album Relentless. The song has an unmistakable melodic hook, but I think one of the challenges for me in the loop was how to restrain that. This arrangement(parts, not instrumentation) follows the Jesus Culture performance of this song which is 10 minutes long. So the challenge here was how do I show restraint in the loop arrangement instrumentation wise, layer slowly and hit that hook in a way that doesn’t become too repetitive. I’ll let you be the judge of how successful or unsuccessful I was at that.

This is a custom loop I did that I am now making available for resale publicly. This loop is for use with a great song by Leeland called “Follow You” off their Love is On the Move album. The song follows the arrangement on the album as far as order of parts, but instrumentation and the intro section are different.

Now onto the loop. This loop uses a bass sequence on the verses second the second chorus. It allows room for a live bass player to play underneath without muddying up the mix, but you can decide how you’d approach that or you can catch my bass player on twitter and ask him his thoughts. The arrangement follows the Jesus Culture arrangement as far as order of song sections.

This song has been on the back burner for a long time for me. I never really dug any of the arrangements I heard, but I knew the song had some good remix potential. I finally got around to putting one together for this tune. I’ve always loved the words to this song and thought it was really a powerful song. The dominant portions of the loop I composed for it are this sort of rhythmic electronic sequence. They are layered throughout so that it hopefully doesn’t get over bearing. I leave room in the verses and pre-chorus, and even the early chorus is pretty open and simple in the loop.
Towards the end though each component comes together in the final chorus. I’m pleased with how it ended up coming together. When we play it live it’s heavy on electric guitar so the guitars add the rock bite to it that you might not pickup just listening to the loop.

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.

To my mind the best song to come out of New Life is Everlasting God. You won’t hear too many melodies better than this one, and the production is really top class. Glenn Packiam’s vocals on this always impressed me, his tone is fantastic on this. We do this song quite often at LCC and as far as corporate worship goes this is one of the more engaging ministry type songs we have in rotation.
