New Stuffs

Here's what's new in the life of Osmosis: Today I had a conversation with the worship pastor of my church about creating a musical theme to our next sermon series. It will serve as a countdown video prior to the start of our worship services throughout the duration of this series.

It's cool being commissioned to create works. It does a few things for me:

It gives me a solid deadline that I can't fudge on...which sometimes happens if things just aren't flowing the way I like.

It is a natural ignition for creativity. I can't really explain why, but being asked to do something gets my creative juices flowing in a fresh way.

It sets the parameters in which I'll work. Some folks feel as if parameters/boundaries are constricting. I see them as freeing.

Today, I also jammed out in a band setting for the first time in a really long time. We ran over a few songs that they've previously written. I came up with bass lines to compliment the guitar parts. The drummer arrived about an hour before I left, but he and I instantly synced. It felt so great. Don't get me wrong, I love sitting at my desk, and being the architect and builder of my songs. But it'll never beat the raw organic chemistry of a group of dudes sitting in a room, making a beautiful noise, and forging friendships. To say the least, I had fun.

So those are my recent events. Soon you'll get to hear something fresh coming from my way. I'm excited about what the future holds.

Thank you for your continued support. G-d bless!
