Sacred Space

 


I met with a good friend to discuss a live show opportunity this week. He has a good amount of connections and is himself a talented artist and musician. I’ve been aching to play a live event. I’ve been in the studio recording for the last year pluggin away at some very experimental tunes. We are planning a night of Christian rock with some local bands at a church in the area. This event, if it takes off, could certainly develop into something ongoing. Hey man, anything is possible with the Lord’s grace and blessing.
Talk is continuing with the other members of a newly forming praise rock band. We are sorting out schedules, songs, and possible venues. We are no farther than this initial stage but continue to push ahead. I’ll keep you updated in the next two weeks.
I pray that these plans are all moving in the right direction and I do appreciate your prayers very much. Especially on the ‘Above the Snakeline” CD I am close to finishing. We are almost ready to mix but having a bit of technical difficulty on the title track. It seems that the song continues to evolve even this late in the process. That being said, it's time to step back and reflect on the direction of the music and the current opportunities. I'm still a rock dude but I've been writing and recording so much indie rock, Christian, country, and electronic instrumental music that I've been stuck in the studio. I miss the energy of a live performance (outside of church) and the loud guitars. I am trying to follow in the will of The Lord but am terminally very human all the same. Life is so hectic and the life of a musician is so erratic and trying at times. Sometimes we need to get back to our heartbeat....We need to step into the sacred space and listen to the Spirit.

The Snake Line





Work is resuming on the 'Above the Snakeline' album planned for release this year. Most of the guitar, drums, bass, and synth programming has been finalized but vocals are still being recorded along with some rough mixing. The album will have a decidedly electronic, world, Christian vibe which is a departure from previously released guitar led albums. As January twisted and turned, so does the musical journey.
I received an email from Scorccio informing me that the vocal I recorded for him last year was finally being released by a very talented South African DJ named Maxume. It seems that I'm starting off the year internationally thanks to these guys! Maxume's remix of U2's "Where the Streets have no Name", vocals ala me, was released in preview form in January. The official release will be February 2013 and I'm very excited to hear it. I am told that it will be hitting the clubs soon!

And here we go - TimKorry Indie Musician Blog

Live
Tim Korry Live
2013 Will be a year of change. The previous months saw the release of 'Strange Horses' a live and remixed retrospective, 'First Heartbeat' a Christian contemporary single, and a collaboration on a rap tune with the Classy Thugs due out soon. A majority of the year was occupied with the composition of a 2hr musical performance art event scheduled for production in 2013. Music from the project will be released as well in the near future as an electronic download. Initially the project was to be performed in 2012 but life happens and schedules adjust. I've decided to resume the indie musician blog after last year's  Ireland adventure. So, back to the glamorous life of an indie musician.
I played as a part time worship leader at a local church but have opted out as of this writing. It seems that churches are not immune to monetary and political sways and plays. There are however many new projects on the table for this year.
Shooting a video with Classy Thugs and contributing some tunes 
( possibly an acting part) in Empala's movie is in the immediate future. Finishing the 'Above the Snakeline' album and forming a praise and intense rocking worship band are on the horizon. There are a few country tunes I am hoping to release as well this year. Live shows will resume I. One form or another in 2013. There is never much time, but there is time to change.... This is the year and the path will be strange...
