Hi, thanks for taking a look at this post. My name is Andy, I'm 26, and I'm currently a worship leader for New Purpose Community Church in Palm Harbor, FL. I love every minute of it, but lately I've been getting the urge to go start something more in addition to that. I just released an album ("Our Smile"...go check it out at http://www.andymage.com/ or on iTunes) of mostly original worship-style tunes; I'd like to delve a bit farther into it, however. I'm a big fan of bands like Paper Route ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s7ni-Z6-mo or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UutwvZjU1sE ), MuteMath, Athlete, and the like...bands that use Reason, Ableton Live, Fruity Loops, sampling, and live instruments all together to create amazing soundscapes, all while delivering poignant lyrics.

I think that a Christian band that put all of those elements together could create a very unique worship experience. I'm not saying that we would totally be leading worship, as I'd like to play out at clubs, bars, and places like that, but I feel called to fully give God the glory in everything that we do. I would like us to be able to lead worship, as well, especially since that's also a passion of mine; I think it would be a joy to be able to give back the the church (not only my home church, but the Church as a whole), while at the same time spreading the message of hope and love.

I've been delving more and more in Reason lately (I used it a bunch on "Our Smile", as you can hear), but I'd like to fully create an ambient/indie/rock/electronic band. Shoot me an e-mail or leave a message on my website; it doesn't matter what you play or how much programming you know right now. Let's get the pieces organized and see what we can do.
