A Mighty Fortress is our God - Rough Mix

Posted on 06.29.2008 by Registered CommenterBrian in | CommentsPost a Comment
I've uploaded a rough mix of one of my all-time favorite hymns by Luther. This recorded version was arranged by my friend Jon Reeves (who now works as an engineer for Line 6. Lucky!). He also laid down the acoustic. The cool thing about Jon's arrangement is that it keeps the original melody intact for the most part, but by placing it in a 3/4 time signature and moving the key up to B it really modernizes it - plus you just can't use the word "bulwark" enough in your average conversation. I played the piano and the organ with DJ Chrizzle bringing in the sweet strings in the 3rd verse along with the bass and drums. Not the final mix, but thought I'd get something up with from the next album. This one sounds great with a full band or just guitar and keys, which is something I'm appreciating about songs the longer I do this. For the mp3, just click on the mp3 section on the left column and enjoy.
