We are really excited as we approach the completion of the Encouragement Disc. Since we have been getting inquiries from many of you on when it will actually be available, here is a brief status update.
Status: - We collectively picked the scripture passages we felt best and subsequently selected the translations for each based on what was most understandable and accurate. The script of all the verses was peer reviewed for accuracy. - We auditioned over 100 voice artists from around the world and selected the 3 voices we felt complimented each other and were undoubtedly soothing and comforting without lacking dynamics or variety. - All the voice tracks have been completed and cleaned up in the studio. We are waiting on the teams completion of the background music. - A journal, intended to be a companion to the CD, was written and peer reviewed. This will be released with the CD. We are in process of completing the layout and design for the journal.
Sorry in advance for the incorrect date (summer 2009) posted here on the website. Things always take longer than you hope! Coming soon.
Things are really exciting in the AoH camp. We are approaching the home stretch of the Encouragement Disc and its associated journal (yes, we are releasing a journal with it...I'll tell you about it soon).
Part of the artwork for the actual CD cover will require a nice looking white candle. Now, I haven't been thrilled with anything I have found locally in stores, so I'm putting this out here as a way that you can help. If you have a white candle that you think is particularly beautiful, please snap a quick picture of it and send it to me. If you want to picture message my phone from your phone just email me and I'll give you the number (that way you don't need to use a camera and upload the picture to email).
The candle has to be white. it can be somewhat burnt or not used at all. And you have to be willing to give us the candle (I can't promise you will get it back in the same shape).
That's it for now. Email me at darren@anthemofhope.com if you have any ideas for us.
