Hi everyone - back after a little self-imposed isolation in order to try and get some inspiration back.

I hope you like this track - I'd love to write a whole album of this kinda fusion between the sacred and hip-hop. Until that becomes reality, curious to hear what you think of this one - THANKS, as always, for your time in listening and hopefully commenting on it ... all feedback very welcome, of course.

THE LYRICS:

DONA NOBIS PACEM

Kyrie. Eleison.

Christe. Eleison.

Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord ... Do This In Memory of Me.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.

Our daily bread, give us today, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.

Let us not fall into temptation, but deliver us from evil ...

Dona nobis pacem. Amen.

*******************

Done in Audacity, with dynamics compressor and proximity correction effects. Run through Bandlab Mastering, with the Enhance Clarity effect. Added Hi-Fi Scoop effect to the voice track only, mastered again on Soundcloud, then reduced volume in Audacity for a final render. In other words: messed around with it randomly until I liked how it sounded :-)
