Lowell,
Did you happen to know Michael Freidman at Eastman? He played alto sax. He was there around the same time as you. He played on the Wynton Marsalis Carnival recording with the wind ensemble. I think the conductor was Donals Huntsburger.

Lowell,
I love that the person that wrote this article is now apart of the LIW Community. The reason I initially posted it was because it brought up some of the best arguments against loops I've heard. Maybe better said.. some of the best things to "consider" before/when using loops. I have a few more thoughts after hearing your follow up and other's responses.
1) I hope and pray that Church Music can become more Electronic. I not only hope that we get to the point where someone is on stage with a laptop and a guitar (or even just a laptop) and leading worship. I think not only can it exhibit excellence, but it can get more different people involved in Worship as well. I think too many churches try to fit into the "hill song" or "chris tomlin" vibe/mode when they really need to seek where God wants them.
I had a saying when I lived in Charlotte NC. There are 3 types of Churches in Charlotte: 1) Elevation Church, 2) Churches trying to be Elevation Church and 3) Churches that realize they aren't elevation and are trying to be the church God has Called them to be. I think if the resources were better/more available (we hope we can fill that gap at LIW!), and more Worship Leaders spoke the "Musical Language" their Congregation spoke we would see more "Electronica-Remix/Electro" Worship.
2) I think integrating Technology into Worship incorporates more people. Obviously if we just have a laptop and no band members then we've lost people, but if we have a full band and a kid in the youth group that is really into Electronic Music and Technology...why don't we integrate him? There's a generation of kids that have grown up playing Guitar Hero. Why don't we give them a laptop or controller and throw them up on stage?
I love that we're having these conversations! As long as they stay edifying, challenging and doing it in a loving way, I will continue to promote them and encourage them.
Lowell, again thank you for having the courage to write an article that people are bound to disagree with, and thank you for your service to the local church!

I like the feel of that track! What did you use to make that?
