So I got back from Falls Creek on Saturday, and ever since I got back I've been thinking of making an EP of sorts of just hymns. Not the kinds with choruses, just the hymn parts. But it will be modern with drums and guitars and such. But I'm also wanting some folksy sound. So right now I'm working on making an arrangement of Amazing Grace that combines the two. We'll see how it actually turns out.
I've only done one evening of actual work on it and I already have basically the whole arrangement down. I think the next step will simply be to clean my room out of mess so I can organize an arrangement to record everything in audio. I'd prefer not to use MIDI drums if I don't absolutely have to.
I also want to use a whole choir of kids from my church's youth group to do some singing for a refrain of the first verse.
I'm really looking forward to how this song turns out. I have the tendency to give up on these things as they progress or things get in the way, but I feel like God has laid this on my heart as a good project to do for Him, so I will pray to him that he carries me through my laziness and any attacks Satan might have on me through this project. Not saying this project is the most important thing in the world, but it is something and I feel like God wants it done, probably to teach me perseverance and also for some kid who might like it.
Anyway, we'll see how it goes.
Jeff
