Why I Love Celtic Music…

…and by the way, we finished mastering the new CD yesterday!  🙂  I am so pleased with how it turned out, and I can’t wait for you to hear it and let me know what you think.  I’m sending all the artwork and graphic files to the artist today, so hopefully the CD will be out by the end of June.

Some people have asked me why I love celtic music.  I’m going let  pictures do my explaining.  Have a wonderful day filled with the things that bring you joy.  Slainte, Lisa

Whistfulness & yearning

 

Excitement & Toe-Tapping Rhythms

Expressiveness & History

Passed from generation to generation

Listening While Hearing, and the Absence Thereof

This is what we did yesterday, for many hours.  Mixed, listened, tried to hear, discern, weed out, keep in, enhance.  I never fully realized how tricky it is to listen, not only to listen but to hear, feel , sense.  Mixing is an art form unto itself; kudos to Chris at Virginia Arts for doing such a great job so far.

That’s right, we’re not done yet, and that’s ok.  You can only listen & hear simultaneously for so many hours.  We’ll hopefully finish next week.  I’m so excited about all the talent and hard work and  cool God stuff that came out of the session.  🙂

This whole recording/editing/mixing thing has made me realize that it is vital that I try to really hear more, and not just listen.  When those little birds are singing, I will try to hear them more and pay attention.  When my husband or children are talking to me about something, I need to stop and slow down and hear them.  Because hearing is an art form, and they are precious, and so is time.    Slainte, Lisa

Irish Air

I sing of the ocean wild and strong

I sing of the God who is stronger

The God who loves me through it all

And never leaves my side….

I sing of the beauty that He has made

I sing of His grace and mercy

The mercy that found me and saved my life

The mercy that set me free

Yes, He has set me free…

(“Air”, c 2012 Lisa Lyons, Flight of Freedom)

Going into the studio today…excited, nervous, both!  🙂  If you like to pray, please pray for me to feel God’s peace and to sing for Him.

Have a wonderful day!  Slainte, Lisa
