Imago Dei (Aaron's Song) Imago Dei (Aaron's Song)

This is the song that I wrote for my son Aaron's dedication. He was born 6.5 weeks prematurely, but he was so perfectly made, and he developed so rapidly, that I couldn't help but marvel at how fearfully and wonderfully made he is by God.

Acoustic General

I'm actually my own band :) I sequence music to accompany myself, usually with me playing an acoustic instrument and singing for the final mix.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I only play live - I've never played dead :)
Your musical influences
I enjoy a wide variety of music, and particularly enjoy acoustic music. That said, you can have a lot of fun with electronics, too.
What equipment do you use?
I use Garritan Personal Orchestra for some of the sequenced instrument sounds. I also use a number of soundfonts for those, too. For my acoustic work, I use Taylor and Lowden guitars. I have a cheap mandocello that I "play at" and is a lot of fun for the different timbre and versatility. I also have some homemade instruments that I use: hammered dulcimer, bowed psaltery, and bodhran. Pennywhistles are Howard (low D), Dixon High D, and assorted less expensive Walton, Generation, and Susato whistles. For my basses, I use a Rogue 5-Pro (fretted) which I built a new body for (mahogany and flamed purpleheart - yummy!) and a Rogue viola which I defretted and added an LR Baggs Element pickup to, making a really versatile bass stable with just two instruments.
Anything else?
I use Notation Composer (www.notation.com) for putting together my music. I can use it to sequence the parts I can't play, and to work up the printed parts for those I do play acoustically. It totally rocks! You can check out the features of Composer at http://www.notation.com/NotationComposer.php. Use it to check out the sheet music for some of my songs on the Notation Users Community Forum at http://www.notation.com/Forum.htm. You can also use it to view and play the sheet music for any midi file. You can use it to create your own music files like I've done.
