If you only want Christian music with lyrics please clarify. I am a Christian and this is music I make. I try to convey spiritual ideas through my music even if there are no lyrics. Maybe more of a feeling sometimes. Music can convey ideas that sometimes are difficult to convey verbally. In any case if I were coming here for plays I would be sorely disappointed since this thread barely ever gets a tap or two. I don't do it for the attention but having some idea of affirmation in some of my gifts is nice. I would do it regardless though because i know it's part of what I should do. I posted a few tracks over on a secular site that is very strict about removing anything religious or political on their forums. They will let songs with religious lyrics through so I see this as a point of ministry that might not otherwise have been. Interestingly people a lot more interest in my tracks from secular sites. I sometimes get the idea that most Christians want to stay in 1942 hymns and this is distressing to a musician who wants to make music NOW. I haven't been posting my tracks much of anywhere lately and really I know what the problem is. I should probably make a web site and charge per track for my music. Any time you give something away for free that's how people value it. The music biz online is really glutted now though and I probably would not get heard much regardless. I post both lyric and non lyric music at times. In my wordless music I often want to put people in a place they like that feels other worldly, similar to a good fiction novel. "Celtic" music has a certain feel in some of it I like. I'm not talking about ITM though I make some of that too. I admit this tune has a lament feel to it, so not all are even similar. Now I need to get on to something else, like shaving. Edited July 2, 2022 by Starise 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thing is taking recorded lecture or otherwise sermons and use specific phrases to build up tension and then release for the outro. I have not made anything myself as of yet. With my synth still being built my thing has been instrumental like yours. Piano, cello, and guitar. Its been a while since I recorded something to be mastered in some way. I personally love the idea of creating something that was never there in the original source lectures. Maybe even mod short phrases to sound like pure fantasy in a mystical war. I agree whole heartedly. Its a pity that not many get instrumental or otherwise, "without lyrics." Some of our most modern stuff in contemporary comes from classical concepts. J. S. Bach, Beethoven, and otherwise classical era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again, I wish I could have it downloaded to my phone to listen to it "offline"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
