Journal entry regarding our band’s future CD “The Creation Architect” made on 3-28-08

 

The purpose of The Creation Architect is that of all of our CDs: to bring God into our music, and send that music out into the world to be shared with others, earnestly hoping that they see God in it. Nothing else is more important than this and I will not risk covering up God’s message. may it always come first and I pray that we give His message in a way that’s not stereotypical, cheesy, or threatening.

 

We had originally wanted to create a CD called “The Creation Architect” which would be a soundtrack based off of Creation. Each song would be inpired by some form of nature.

 

The Creation Architect needs to be 7 tracks or so since Creation was only seven days.  Each track will resemble what was made on each day.

 

We would like to make this album very symbolic and extremely inspired by what it is. Therefore we would like to do our best to place ourselves in places surrounded by the form of nature we are working on. For example, when making a song about water we should go to the beach or something along those lines.

 

Since all of these songs are instrumental, their names are our words to portray God. Our music is all about God even when instrumental.

 

Seeing as how we know all of this Creation from the Bible, studying the correct verses are essential to knowing what sound to create and in getting an image in our head to work with.

 

Although this is obviously the story of Genesis, I’d like to use Job 38 and 39 for the theme of this CD.

 

In these verses, God tells Job of His Greatness by speaking in great detail about creation. I think it will inspire us in our creating this album.

 

Idea for a song

Journal entry made on 3-29

Imaged DNA

 

Today I begin work on Imaged DNA. Lord, take this song and transform it to your glory. Help me not to do anything out of place that You wouldn’t have me do. I pray for help in reflecting your glory through this song.

 

I’ve taken Uberzone’s Ideology into mind while working on this song. I feel that that sound would be a cool idea to aim for in reflection of complex DNA being formed.

 

We are made from dirt, so I would like to have a shovel sound or something at the beginning of this song. From there on I need to try to imagine a complex human being being put together.

 

Forgive me for starting without You Lord. Right now I pray You’ll give me words, images, anything to go off of with creating this song. I will wait. After all, You were there during Creation. I imagine you have a pretty sweet soundtrack in mind for it.

 

Distractions

 

That’s what human life is like…

Distracted

 

Lord, as I lay on the ground, there was a number of distractions:

 

traffic

Taylor wanted to show me a song

Jaron’s video games

Loud music upstairs

And a strange loud crack of something unknown

 

You also showed me Light. As I laid my head down I put it in the exact spot where sun shone through my window. Perhaps to tell me to keep this song happy/major because of Your joy in creating humans and how much You love them.

 

The distractions are a great concept too because I could make this song rather busy and random in the beat.

 

Thank You Lord.

 

Key: D(istractions)

 

I can use the Drum N’ Bass Remix section to create organized chaos.
