For about 8 years, I?ve been doing live looping, which is using a pedal to record a guitar part, then playing that part back while adding new layers of music on top of it. It?s essentially bringing the studio to the stage. In 2009, I decided to add a few more instruments to my looping setup and do a Christmas tour. I set up 8 instruments in a circle and stood in the middle of them to record Christmas carols for audiences in a handful of cities. I had such a great time that I did it again the next year, adding to the stage 8 more instruments and fellow singer/songwriter Wes Pickering.
We hit the road again last month for the third year of the NOEL Christmas tour, adding about 8 instruments (that?s around 24 total for those counting) and playing a total of 19 concerts. We had an incredible time traveling the country, playing music, and meeting everyone who came to the shows. What a privilege it was to sing about God?s grace in sending Jesus to live among us and bring hope to a hopeless world.
I can?t say thanks enough to everyone who came to a concert during this tour. I so appreciate you taking time out of your busy holiday schedule to listen to us sing and play. It was a privilege to hear your stories and get to know you after shows. I?m always encouraged to learn how God is working in His church no matter where I go.
Many of you have asked about the technical details of the NOEL live looping setup, so I wanted to share them with those who are interested. (Commence nerd speak!)
