Fellowship Songs

Hello Again,

Ever since our recent upgrade to better recording software I've been ravenously recording. I've begun work on a new project that I wanted to let the masses know about. You've heard us say it time and time again but it's worth repeating here: Oasis is loaded with musical talent and always has been. So I decided to begin work on a project showcasing the songs that God has granted the songwriters of Oasis. This initial project will be more of an EP but it will actually be an ongoing project.

Largely featured on this first effort will be songs from Des Jeffers, Chris Stewart, Kenny McKnight and lil' ol' me. The tracks you can expect to hear will be:
Wonderful - Christ Stewart
Whisper to Me _ Des Jeffers and Chris Stewart
Grace Poured Out - Des Jeffers and Chris Stewart
How Great is Your Name - Kenny McKnight
God is Great (A Worship Lullaby) - Chad Dodson
He is Coming - Chad Dodson

Each of these songs will be in a format not unlike what we would normally do on any given Sunday. I'm keeping the production pretty minimal...mostly just two guitars, drums, bass, backing vocals. There's some other stuff tied in there too but for the most part it's a minimalist project. So far one of those tunes is pretty well done. You can check that one out right now. Scroll down a few posts and download a slightly unfinished copy of Kenny's song "How Great is Your Name". All the other songs minus 2 are started. "Whisper to Me" is practically done. God is Great...a song God gave me to sing Aiden to sleep...just needs vocals. Wonderful will be done shortly. This project is going extremely well. Hopefully I'll have it done by the end of summer. I'll post things up as they become more complete. As I said, this will be an ongoing process so all you Oasis songwriters...keep on writing so we can keep on recording.

Living Room 2 Back In Production

Hey everybody, I know that many of you have been curious about what ever became of our Living Room 2 project. Well, I'll spare you the technical details but at least tell you this: When I began the post production process there were funny things happening with all the recorded audio. So it took some time just to get those weird kinks ironed out. It's taken me a long time to do that but I finally have those original source files listenable and what's more...thanks to a recent upgrade of our recording software...I'm able to do some things previously not possible. As I type this I've got a guitar to my right and a recent mix of "Grace Like Rain" groovin' on my cans (headphones). It sounds great. I'm in the process of doing some overdubs (stuff that needed redone). As soon as that's done we'll get this thing packaged so that you can have it in your hands. If overdubs keep going at their current speed I could have this in the hands of everybody by next Sunday (the 7th). That's my plan. Since many of you have been waiting for this thing for over half a year now I'm working as fast as I can to get it to you. Everybody who came that night to sing...YOU SOUND GREAT!!! The mix between the band and the people is really good. This project is going to be even better than the first Living Room CD.

How Great Is Your Name

Chad and I just finished the recording of How Great Is Your Name (though he may tweak it further since that is how he does things). I hope you enjoy it.
