I am to be the proud godfather of the lovely Camille and her parents chose for her dedication the verse Psalm 91:11 The dedication is taking place in a German church so the song is is German (as is the mom as well.) The dad is French, but as I do not speak French I am not even going there - it is stretch enough for me to write in German! In this episode I went to the Bible itself and decided to take the exact words and use them, and ony them in the song. But this still left me with the abiltity to arrange the words as need for the musical beat, and this is what I did. This time around I did not record the first attempts at the song. I did not have anything with me to record it, but what you hear here is the third generation. (I even asked my daughter to listen to the 2nd gen so that at least two of us would have heard it in case I forgot something - it would not have helped at all, but fortunately I was able to remember the tune - it somehow sat in my head. What is a first in this version is the very last bit where the name of my godchild is sung - I was hoping to find a way to make this more personal and this is is how it now stands. I hope you like it, but more important to me is that the family finds it as I intended it - a song to accompany the child into her adulthood! Just a note - I am finding the podcast host I am working with to be too expensive so I am slowly moving archives off to other sites. Do not be surprised if you no longer find all of the episodes on this site / feed. I have given several alternative ways. Thanks so much for stopping by!

I was asked to write a song for a church service. I asked about the main theme of course and it turned out to be Psalm 95:1-7 OK I thought I can do this. Then I had the single idea to make the first verse into a refrain and the following verses into one time thoughts. The idea is to support the sermon about the text before it even gets preached. It happens this upcoming Sunday so I am not sure how it will happen I used the Luther Bible for the German text (no copyright problems). I speak German but writing songs in German is still not easy for me. What is posted here is the rough video I sent to other musicians who will be working with me on this Sunday. If you use this tune in any churches please let me know. I welcome it, but it would be great to know! Enjoy!

This tune is a prequel to a Tune I have written called "Father Forgive". The deal here is to use what has been previously written as a tool to help spawn a new piece of music. I hope it works! You can follow my TwitterFeed at http://twitter.com/nlnnet

After months of international travel, a dead computer upon return RoughMix has been on hiatus for awhile, but we are back never having intended on being away for so long This episode takes a vocal effect and uses it to determine the rough. I also employ some slapping and some harmonics as I play on my Fender acoustic Everything is being created live and I am just capturing whatever appears. SHOUTS: Special hellos to listeners in: Vimont, Quebec (near Parc de Naples); Seattle, WA USA; Eskisehir, Turkey; near Peabody, KS USA; Moskva, Russia; Guangzhou and Shenzen, China Follow me on Twitter

After quite awhile without a RoughMix post. I decided to add this. I have been recording music, but actually posting a podcast takes some time, and life takes time too! This episode runs long, and is experimental. The audio records uninterrupted and has background noise as recorded from my Palm Tungsten. I am making up everything on the fly, but it is based on some experiments I did in earlier recording where I played with some elements.
