ANCHOR&BRAILLE


ANCHOR&BRAILLE is the name i am going to put my acoustic stuff out under. since the new anberlin record is coming out early '07 i am going to put out the first record (self titled) out on toothandnail in late spring '07.
i am going to finish up the last 4 songs this december with producer aaron marsh (copeland). i put up a couple songs on purevolume.com/anchorandbraille and myspace.com/anchorandbraille . please let me know what you guys think, as i could not be happier with how these demo's turned out.

Stephen- the songs sound amazing! I really can't wait for the cd (late spring seems so far away but at least there will be a new anberlin cd between now and then).

I really love the things you can do with your voice. Absolutely beautiful.

I'm completely blown away. So beautiful Stephen! Sheet music sounds so great.
It's wonderful how you understand you can do more with your life than just be in a band.

Delightful- completely. The production of the demo is extremely well done. I love when piano is incorporated into the mix of alternative music. The only thing I don’t like is the fact I have to wait until next spring to play this on my ipod- though I’m sure it’ll be well worth the wait. Props to you all, if you’re playing shows in the pacific northwest make it known!

Best!

Wow. I really enjoyed wedding/funeral, and the difference between the first version of "Sheet Music" you put up and this new one is incredible.

I'm so excited about those two CD's now!

I like how you incorporated the pinao into your songs, & would highly suggest putting those pictures that you took a while ago (while you were recording-that you put up on your blog) into the cd cover with your lyrics. I know that you have some amazingly deep thoughts, so I was wondering if you could possibly write some songs based on some of your blogs; instead of songs written about girls either breaking up with you or you breaking up with girls. These are just suggestions, but I think it does sound great!

Listening to "Wedding/Funeral" now... simply beautiful. (I'm such a sucker for the piano...)

I was already excited for new Anberlin... now I can be doubly excited! :) Yay for 2007.

What I love the most is that no matter what mood I'm in, I can always listen to your music. If I'm awake and full of energy- anberlin. If I'm in a more mellow mood- Anchor&Braille.

It's amazing and I love it.

Stephen, this is some awesome stuff - it's both a great contrast and a great compliment to the work you've done in Anberlin. 2007 is way too far away, though :^p

Hi Stephen
I love this modesty thing you have going on here. I read it all the time, but never started one of my own until your prompting a few posts back.
SOOO i would appreciate anyone reading this thoughts and idea on what I have posted.I don't know anyone who uses this, so my feedback is non-existant :).

on another note, i LOVE the new music. I added Wedding Funeral to my Myspace :).

Have the best day of your life,
Kate

M'eh, they're okay. Just kidding, I totally love them. I'm super stoked for your new albums. I was bummed I didn't get to go to Cornerstone this week and see you guys. But I think the demos are unique and amazing. You're very creative.

Absolutely amazing man!! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with myself when your self-titled release comes out and the new Anberlin release hits the streets. I won't know what to listen to first! I love all the songs so far!! Can't wait for the rest of them! Can't wait period. Be blessed!!

the six word memoir

Image
there is a (not so) current writing trend that is really pretty profound. short but profound. what it is is that authors, writers, and such are writing their whole memoir in just 6 words. some creative ones that i have found are... Nobody cared, then they did. Why? - Chuck Klosterman 70 years, few tears, hairy ears. - Bill Querengesser "For Sale: baby shoes, never worn" -Ernest Hemingway recently people have been putting pictures to their 6 word memoir and they have been incredible. here are some on this NPR LINK . so i think it would be great if each one of us did one about ourself. perhaps post a photoshopped picture and 6 words, or just your 6 word memoir all on its own. either way, i think it would be so interesting to see each others lives in a simple 6 words. HERE IS MINE: .............. LEFT BEHIND A LEFT BEHIND CHILD .................... alternates for mine: always looking, never finding. feeling found. lonely child found fame, lost self. -stephen so SO many good ones...

mankind gives life to machine!

before the sudden burst of technological advancements mankind had to communicate using old fashion methods of 'talking face to face' & interpreting the body language presented which are both now as we know a barbaric and primitive form of interpersonal communication. now that we have deemed it obsolete we have to issue a new set of rules that go along with our newly formed communicational evolution. it seems to me you can NOT take the ‘old outdated ways of communication’ and apply it to the new way of computerized advancement. for instance: my brother was giving me his honest opinion in an email of something i created. even though it was a negative opinion i appreciated it because i would much rather brutal honesty then yes men. because i didn’t email him back right away, because i was working on something else, he took lack of response as a sign that i was upset or mad. tsk tsk paul for thinking that we live in the barbaric days where if i was silent after you said someth...

PACIFISM.

this is one of the hardest topics for me to discuss, so im going to keep a running tab on thoughts here till i come to my own conclusion. tolstoy, ghandi, martin luther king jr., gk chesterton. and the list of pacifist's grow. this should seem like such an easy and logical decision. war= not good. death. killing. peace= contentment, stability, life. but when you have grown up in a country where the church, state, and weaponry have all blurred into the same entity it is a much harder decision to come to. there are SO MANY INTELLIGENT PEOPLE on this blog, just read through the comments! my LORD! you guys are brillant. ang said "There is a time and a place for everything, it depends on the situation." but i would like to hear the situations in which violence is necessary. defend yourself? your family? but what about war, when do we have to kill? 'one murder made a villain, millions a hero'. your right ang this is hard because i would defend my family to the death wh...
