I am currently exporting some of my soft synth/ambient/rhythm tracks from the “This Valley” protools files so I can play them live. I normally use Ableton Live to trigger my loops/tracks live, but the lately I’ve been having trouble making my loops warp to Ableton’s built in click (which I hacked and replaced with a Boss DB-90 rimshot sample). Sometimes it works, but almost any song in 6/8 won’t properly warp.

“Love Alive” is a worship song I just finished in the last few weeks. It was a journey for me to write this song. In the midst of our pregnancy complications, I really felt God challenging me to look at the big picture and to soak in His grace, instead of just focusing on the day to day hardships. Through weeks of prayer I was reminded of the immensity of what Christ did for us and what that really meant to me. It affects absolutely everything I do. The more we let that amazing truth grow in our hearts, the more we have to share it…We just can’t contain something of such great porportions. I hope you enjoy this live version.
Here I had the great opportunity to lead this great retooled hymn (thanks Tim Hughes!) with Audrey Assad. Needless to say I had a blast…and yes it looks like I’m singing Audrey’s part in the beginning…
An incredible JesusCulture song taken from the following scripture:
Song of Solomon 8:6-8
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy [a] unyielding as the grave. [b]
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame. [c]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
I had the privilege of leading this song with Audrey Assad.
This is a tweaked version Jason Williams and I created of this incredible Hillsong tune…with an Album Leaf inspired drumbeat. To simulate a Rhodes type sound I have my tele on the center pickup selection running through a Jeckyl and Hyde Overdrive with the Cry Baby Wah cocked all the way down. I switch to the bridge pickup for the lead line at the end.

So I am in a predicament and need your input!
