I have made the album, “The Passion of the Christ”, available for free download.
I made this album when I was feeling dejected and rejected, and I needed something to fill my mind, a task if you will.
I was just getting into making music, and a previous short hymn I had create made me want to explore Christ’s Passion in a deeper way.
The use of synthesizers is perhaps a controversial one. My reasons were that I felt that Christ’s Passion was a dark, unsettling, sad, and disturbing time, despite it’s eventual uplifting message. I felt that synthesizers could provide that unsettling etherreal atmosphere that I was searching for.
With this in mind, I have to state:
This is a contemporary interpretation of the biblical passages for Christ’s Passion.
At all points, this is supposed to be a serious, and faithful interpretation.
This is a synthesizer work, and so is very much a contemporary interpretation.
I hope that people will approach the work in good faith, in the knowledge that this is strictly a religious synth work, and will sound very different from the music we are accustomed to in Church. It is not meant for Church service.
