    Marty Willson-Piper of The Church – martywillsonpiper.net Marty Willson-Piper With a career that has spanned over 20 years, Marty has won a world wide audience and has influenced an ocean of guitarists. "Hanging Out In Heaven" , his first solo release in nearly five years continues to prove Marty's knack for a writing finely designed pop songs with witty, intelligent and meaninful lyrics. Rolling Stone Review : The Church - 'After everything…now this' Few rock bands have adored and explored the orchestral vocabulary and singing ring of the electric guitar with the commitment and distinguished touch of the Church. For founding members singer-bassist Steve Kilbey and guitarists Peter Koppes and Marty Willson-Piper, the art of jangle has been a life's work. After Everything Now This is the Australian group's twelfth studio album since 1981 and true to precedent in its rippling gleam. After Everything is also a masterpiece of stealth, a quiet killer in which subtle exquisite shocks of tonal theater -- the doomsday ticktock and gently abrasive fuzz in "Numbers"; the ice-water drip of the arpeggios in "Chromium" -- puncture the reverb without scarring it. The seamless-dream quality of After Everything is no small accomplishment; the Church, with drummer-producer Tim Powles, made the record in studios on three continents. But in these songs of dislocation and disconnection, intoned by Kilbey in a silken-lava baritone, Koppes' and Willson-Piper's guitars are a seductive counterweight, piercing the tension with an elegantly disruptive twang in

Though it’s on the 3rd screen and buried in a folder… 2 9/29/2020 We have to change our teaching to meet the students. Our teachers met our needs as students. They adapted to the time and technology present to them. We should as well. What is present for technology in our students’ lives? Mobile devices: phones, tablets, and a possibly a few laptops. Build an app! Or search for an existing one to use! I built one to walk students step‐by‐step through the process of writing and performing a Blues Song. It helps to eliminate wrong chords, choose the right vocal range, and uploads to Canvas securely. The students read in my lecture about the 12‐bar blues "formula" and how the lyrics used by the blues artists were also a formula of AAB. Using the two formulas, they get the opportunity to be a blues artist.

The tour will begin in Vancouver, British Columbia on February 21 st and run straight into SXSW. The Church will also be performing at SXSW along with sitting for a very special interview at the convention. Tickets for all shows are on sale now at: http://thechurchband.net/ A brand new video for "Vanishing Man" debuted this morning at GuitarWorld.com. You can watch the clip here: http://www.guitarworld.com/church-premiere-vanishing-man-music-video After over three decades of making music in various formats, lineups, places and cognitive states, this is a band who have committed, even succumbed, to exploring unchartered sonic territories. The next chapter comes in the form of new music, a new band member and a chance for that to be shared with old fans and new ones through the release of The Church’s 25th studio album titled Further/Deeper. Rolling Stone Australia recently gave the new album four stars while remarking: “Kilbey's somnambulistic vocals and a sense of mystery and intrigue, will never grow old, even 25 albums in. Long may they strum.” At this stage of the journey, Further/Deeper seems both unimaginable and the only option on their endless quest from chaos to resolution.
