Steve Taylor (e~mergent kiwi) was talking the other day about Dub in worship. Cool!
... some of the highlights of his post, titled "dub, spirituality and worship" :
Some interesting conversation about worship music in general going on over at that post, too. Check it out.
... some of the highlights of his post, titled "dub, spirituality and worship" :
"Thought 1 - It struck me at the Greg Laurie Crusade (in Christchurch over the weekend) that the music was "white boy" music - more rock based,guitar driven, clear verse/chorus song structure - in style ...From Wikipedia:
Thought 2 - Often the songs sung in church are "white boy" music; I'm thinking Delirious, Hillsong, Soul Survivor...
Thought 3 - Dub music is currently BIG in New Zealand; I'm thinking Fat Freddys Drop, Salmonella Dub, Awake the Dawn ... the list goes on ...
Thought 4 - Some of my most spiritual moments in the last 5 years have occurred listening to dub...
Thought 5 - Dub music seems to create a number of layers for the individual participant to move within. It is more fluid and less linear than rock."
"Dub is a form of music that uses extensive echo and reverb effects and snatches of the lyrics from the original version, with most of the lead instruments and vocals dropping in and out of the mix. Another hallmark of the dub sound is the massive low bass. The music is often further augmented by live DJs, and electronic sound effects."I appreciated Steve's links to Salmonella Dub and Fat Freddy's Drop ... being pretty musically open-minded ... especially when it comes to worship ... I found some leads on some great new tunes. Thanks, Steve.
