LWCP – Time for Memories to Begin With my focus moving so much into handbells over the past few years, and my choral ministry winding down in general, it seemed it was time to let the Living Water Composition Project go. There was a melancholy feel from this realization, but at the same time the …

LWCP – Other Horizons Open Up I managed to write a couple of new songs… but “only two” was distinctly unsatisfying. So I really need to put out some more effort next season! I decided that a bit of diversion might be helpful;between circumstances and the amount of energy I’d been expending on choral writing, …

LWCP – Hoping This was another high-load year, especially with going through being laid off for the first (and hopefully the last!) time – the tech sector’s downturn cascaded through a huge number of companies, and so I was a victim of the economic situation. But God continued to provide, and now I’m in a …

But we all know the story of the dot-coms… too bad! Thankfully, there are …

LWCP – Rejoicing The ninth year of the Living Water Composition Project seemed to be more of an extension of the previous year’s work than a separate entity of its own (well, duh…). But in many ways it did indeed have a character of its own. For one thing, two of the songs, “No Matter …

LWCP – Explorations The eighth volume of the Living Water Composition Project was a more satisfying one. I made time to write a decent number of songs (Volume 7 was a little disappointing in this respect – only!). Also, I think that the music in this set of songs has more of the peculiar charm …

LWCP – Seeking New Vistas The seventh year of the Living Water Composition Project was a busy, busy one in many ways other than music. I got into working on Choraegus more (and actually made some sales!), worked quite a bit on this website, and returned to the Valley Church handbell choir, among other things. …
