Psalms Challenge Day 19

Psalms 55, 56, and 57

Sometimes when we sing to the Lord it's a beautiful work of art, and sometimes it's a joyful noise. These daily podcasts give you a glimpse into the my daily practice sessions, which often veer toward the noise end of the spectrum before arriving at beauty.

Ode to the Bride

Psalms Challenge Day 14 and an Encore

Tonight I'm playing Psalm 40, 41, 42 and replaying Psalm 29. Please excuse any background noise. I record these in my living room late at night after all the kids are (supposed to be) in bed.

Psalms Challenge Day 11

31, 32, and 33 are the Psalms of the day. I hope everyone is having a good time hearing songs old and new. I'm on a roller-coaster of sightreading, composing and learning.

Unfortunately, Nick Giaconia seems to have fallen of the face of the earth since the late 90's. Center of the Earth is the name of his album though, released by Storeyville Records.
