I’ve had several inquiries about whether I’d do loops for hire, or custom loops for people. I’ve always turned down those requests because I just didn’t have the time. But due to recent unforseen changes in the job security landscape(ah hem), I have more time now.

If you or anyone you know is looking for some custom loops. backtracks or just wants to work together on some music projects please do contact me. You can browse my current freely available loops to get a sense of what my music sensibility is. I will still release loops for free as I have been, I don’t plan on stopping that. But any special requests would have some agreed upon fee.

I don’t have any set rates at this point for a few reasons.

1. I want to be flexible and be able to bless and help out in creative ways. I don’t want to only contribute to projects that have a lot of money.
2. I have no idea what people think my services are worth, if anything.
3. I would be open to accepting trades for gear and such.

If you would be so kind as to pass the word along, by retweeting, sharing on facebook, etc… that would really be appreciated. ORS just recently passed the 15,000 mark for downloaded/played loops, so thank you for the interest you’ve shown to this point. I sincerely hope this has been a valuable resource for you and your churches.

I’ve been getting a lot of emails recently thanking us for the loops I post. I wanna thank you all for the feedback, it means a lot and is really encouraging to hear about churches across the states that are able to benefit from my loops. I even had a worship pastor from South Africa contact me, so that’s awesome. Keep the feedback coming and let me know if you have any questions on loops or anything else and I’ll respond as fast as I can and maybe even make a post out of it.

Additionally, Our Rising Sound is almost at 200 subscribers which is amazing considering it took us 14 months to break 100, now 2 months after hitting that mark we’ve added almost 100 more. That’s pretty incredible. The success of this site really depends on you sharing posts and telling others about it. If you haven’t subscribed please do so either through RSS or email.

I’ve been up in Seattle for the past couple days and won’t return until late tomorrow. Normal posting will return shortly. Thanks everyone for the great community and site you helped build here.

Been a busy few days getting this latest redesign ready. But it solves a few problems and eliminates a few limitations the previous designs had so I’m stoked. This should be a good base to build off going forward. Still need to make a few tweaks but I’m tired and my wife is giving me that, “if you don’t get in bed now you’re sleeping on the couch” look. Have some exciting posts lined up for later today, I’ll give you a hint, it rhymes with, “Shawn Shmark Shmickmillan”. We’ll even be giving a free prize away as well.

Stay close and let me know how you like the new look. Click around and explore, it’s fun. Big props to Josh Dailey for the logo design, well done as always my man.
