This project was four years in the making and includes a variety of electronic styles--from Dance to Trance with Techno influences and bursts of retro lead work, reminiscent of the classic rock of the '70's. The level of detail in the music will have the listener discovering new things about the instrumentation at each playing--a drum solo in "Amazing Grace"; "I'll Fly Away" in a helicopter; a retelling of the Garden of Eden saga in "A Man, a Woman, an Apple, a Snake."
The purpose of this music is to influence souls for Christ and to provide quality, unique compositions for listening entertainment.
