Scratch Tracks Complete! Next Steps...

Well, we've been making great progress into "So Many Voices," and it's very encouraging!  We have all of the scratch tracks laid down for the record, so we're now in the process of layering in instruments.  If all goes well, we will be setting up some vocal recording days in the next week or so.  The sounds we're getting are giving us goosebumps and we can't wait to share them with you!  
Remember....help us get to 100 "likes" on Facebook and we'll share something completely new.

It's been such a blessing to have our home studio.  The consistency and convenience are lending to a much smoother process than we've ever had in recording in the past.  We used to have to completely set up and tear down any time we wanted to record.  We used to be bound by the weather, neighbors through walls, cars driving by outside, and countless other interruptions.  Now, everything is in place, and the environment is completely controllable.  We're loving it.

As we've been listening to the line- up of songs over and over, we've decided that a couple of them will fit better on a different album.  Looking ahead of this record, we are already writing our next one.  As a little sneak peak, we'll share that it's all just piano and vocals.  Some of the songs you'll hear on it are "Lullaby," which is one of our favorites, and a new ballad written for our little Avianna, called "Bright Eyes."

We'll be back in the studio this weekend, so stay tuned for a new video blog post.  See you then!

What "So Many Voices" is All About


In this life, we are inundated by voices.  They tell us who to be, how to live, what to look like, what we need, what we deserve, why things are happening, and what is real.  It can be incredibly challenging to hear truth through the noise.

The "So Many Voices" project is a journey.

We move from place to place.   Sometimes we can only hear ourselves and other times
So Many Voices are shouting so loudly that we can't hear much of anything.  We hit rock-bottom.  We get overwhelmed and nothing around us makes sense. We aren't even sure of our own identity, and we just can't seem to make anything work.  From that valley, we start to learn how to separate the voices around us and choose which ones to listen to and when to listen to them.  The most crucial moment is when we discover which voice is the One that will always speak truth to us, the One we can trust.  When we listen to that Voice, we find that the challenges in life are producing something more than the moment might reveal.  We learn how to move through them, and  that there is a bigger picture than what we can see with our eyes.  We learn that we each have a purpose.

I don't know about you, but I want that Voice to be the loudest One in my head, the One I can hear and trust and believe.  The Voice I need.  The Voice that I really listen to.  The Voice that knows me and loves me better than anybody else.  The Voice that makes me 
alive.
