Reaching Out, Updating Dropbox

Buzz, Recording

Two, big things:

1. We’re looking for somebody to mix the first EP in our Firm Foundation series. (If you haven’t heard, FF is a collection of children’s Sunday School songs, with supplemental lyrics to help fill out the theology of each song. We’re adding new melody sections with these new lyrics while preserving the original melodies.)

Do you know a mix engineer?

You can have them email us (visit our contact page) or get in touch on Facebook  or Twitter.

2. One of this week’s big tasks is to update our shared Dropbox folder so that it’s easier to navigate and find new, uploaded media. We will be sifting through our entire collection of photos and videos of the Firm Foundation recording sessions so far and posting everything, sorted into folders by date. We also hope to have several different ways to sort through, and listen to, all of the archived recordings and rough mixes of the sessions.

For those of you who have donated to fund Firm Foundation, we hope you all will enjoy checking that stuff out! And if you haven’t donated yet, visit our Store page…

Firm Foundation Series EP’s Announcement

Community, Recording

2 > 1. Today, after a couple months of serious, hard work on our next album, Firm Foundation, we’ve come to an exciting conclusion: we can’t release full-length albums right now.

WHAT!?!?! You can’t release albums?!?!? That’s not what we said…

We’ve decided to release the Firm Foundation collection as a series of EP’s instead.

There’s a simple reason why: we want to bring you new music at a quicker pace, and recording fewer songs at a time costs less. Funding for the next album was coming slower than we expected, so we decided to split it up, making the costs of recording easier to swallow. (Yes, most of the tracking is done for free at my studio, but mixing, mastering, and manufacturing is still expensive.)

If you’d like to help finance our Firm Foundation series or learn more about it, check out this post. FYI, we do expect to still release the first EP this coming July!

Thank you so much for listening and supporting us as we seek to honor God and encourage His Church!
