<p>Hey everybody.. I am totally stoked with the final mix.. I feel like this is the record I was meant to make.. I lived these songs and have learned that my vision has to fall in line with God's will to fully come to fruition..it took me more than what would be equivalent to a month working a full time job for a month over a seven month period from May through November of 2014 to write and record 'Gratitude' ...the studio production went so smooth.. all the short term goals just fell right into place…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6047934/received-final-mix-of-gratitude-from-bart">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>Hey.. the last recording session was yesterday and it went off without a hitch.. I just need to do vocals on one song and then Bart can mix all seven songs.. Mixing is an awesome part of the process. All the recording is done and you get to listen to the songs come to life.. I am getting to hear what you will hear very soon.. I am super excited about this one and am truly blessed to see my first Contemporary Christian record come to fruition. I am planning on sharing this music with the Pastor that directs…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6047932/mixing">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>Hey I have written much of 'Brilliance!' this is the final track for the EP 'Gratitude' honoring the Lord and thanking him for his brilliance! The music is jazzy and has a groove.. I can't wait to hear it with Phil Romero on drums.. I am going to play bass on it which is gonna be really awesome.. I also discovered an organ patch with vibrato on my keyboard sounds like one of those old time organs.. that will be showcased on this record..

<p>Hey folks I recorded the reference keyboard track, the bass and wrote lyrics for 'Dormant' which is about the experience I had with the Holy Spirit in 97'.. I feel the Holy Spirit was in me all along, guiding me. That sense of right and wrong that makes us feel guilty for our trespasses. The constant source of inspiration that caused me to perservere despite the circumstances... the all pervading unconditional love much like my mothers love for me..Due to a lot of the dissapointments I have had in life…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6047928/almost-done-with-the-new-song-dormant">Read more</a></span></div>

<p>Hey I have the vox melody reference track along with some keys and acoustic guitar parts recorded so far.. Most of the songs so far on this record have been produced with the vox melody first then adding the instrumentation on top. I find that creative and compelling vocal melodies are really the heart of the song compositon wise out side of the drums, for obvious reasons.. The songs on this one are very developed so far I have spent 20 or more hours composing each song.. on the last record 'Proof' I had a…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/6047927/update-on-open-road">Read more</a></span></div>

I am right on schedule as far as productivity, it is going to be a &nbsp;7 song EP and I am on the 4th song.
