Fee Album Review

Posted by mattodegaard on October 21, 2009

Hope Rising

The New Fee Album dropped a couple days before Catalyst Conference and I have been listening to it since then. I must say, at first I wasn’t that into it. It sounded like more of the same. But, then, I attended the Catalyst Conference and hearing and participating in the songs in a live environment COMPLETELY changed my mind about the album. I now have a new perspective and totally LOVE it!!!

Similar to the previous album, this music is full of rocking guitars, slamming drums and some sweet Reason/Ableton loops. Different from any worship album I’ve ever heard, there is a track with ‘auto-tune’ on it. ‘Promised Land’ is worship 2.0! I was skeptical when I found out about the ‘auto-tune’, but once I heard it, I actually like it!!!

Here’s my iTunes rating so far. I must say that the stars will probably go up in the future after I listen to it a bit more. There will probably be at least a couple more 5 stars, but for now:

It’s definitely worth picking up for some corporate worship songs and absolutely great for personal worship time!

Brilliant Stop Motion Chalk Drawing

Posted by mattodegaard on August 14, 2009

Firstly, I am a Coldplay fan.

B.  I don’t know why, but lately I have been truly amazed at the brilliance of the art of stop motion photography/filmography/cinematography and probably several other ‘ography’s.

3)  To continue this trend here is the Coldplay video for Strawberry Swing.

Again, Brilliant.  Genius.  Time Consum-ed.

Audio Test

Posted by mattodegaard on May 19, 2009

I have been wanting a way to put audio onto this blog for some time now, but in all honesty, I am too cheap to pay the upgrade fee.  (I know, I know…)

So,  I am going to be testing out some different audio plug in / linkage and see what works.

Test #1
