Soma Music » Tunes http://music.somachurch.org.au New music in church.

Much has been happening!

One of the most frequent questions we get about Soma Music is “all the stuff about the gear and reasons and practicalities is great… but what does it actually sound like?” – if that was you, wonder no more! We’ve FINALLY found some time to capture some audio and video from one of our rehearsals. This very audio and video we’re now sharing with you, our dear and loyal readers.

The first song is “The King Has Walked Among Us” by Michael Morrow, off his Lift Up Your Heads album.

The second song is by Mark Peterson, off his When We See You album. It’s called “Never To Hunger” and we talked about the drum break we’re using in it in our last video.

We’ve been real busy getting all set for the launch, which is on this Sunday, September 20, 3pm @ Macquarie Centre. Check out our main website for details.

Once we’ve settled into a bit of a rhythm (music pun, get it?) with our Sunday gatherings, we’ll be sure to post more navel-contemplating blog posts here. Rest assured that there’s already some in the drafting stage…

Oh yeah, and feel free to come along to join our celebration, either this Sunday or any Sunday after!

The mp3 below is a live rehearsal. We added the vocals separately (only one mic cable in the room) but everything you hear is live and one take. We wanted this to be an accurate depiction of the rehearsal (this is the second time we played the song) and so there is no editing. Every track is played in full, with only minimal level adjustment and some compression and reverb on the vocals. As a result, it sounds pretty raw and there are plenty of things we’re going to change – but this is just getting something out there.

Please let us know what you think! By the way, that’s Matt singing.
