*This piece is an instrumental.*

Triumphing and pervasive synth square sounds singing...a tune of life


Ease that load with a unique blend of contemporary music and literature from a Christ-centered perspective.

SURRENDER YOUR CARDS BLOG UPDATE

By
WELCOME to my blog page! I'm so ecstatic to share with you what you'll find is my envisioning of contemporary music with some Christian flair. Here on Surrender your Cards, you'll primarily find original compositions in which I combine what's thought of as the more classical as well as the popular; the minimal, as well as the more ornamental; the contemporary worship structures and secular; the electronic and the acoustic.  My works are influenced by musicians such as the Japanese pianist-composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and, very heavily so, Debussy (who influenced him), but not without some other stylistic considerations from today (prog rock, video game, chip-tune and electronic music). I aspire to be a voice from within God's people with the music I create as a composer. For written literature (lyrics or poems), you may locate the green menu bar at the top left and select Labels; for music, lyrical/instrumental or just the "music" Label will do. For anything ...

There Must Be More: "MORE" - 09

By
Instrumental based on: Addressing the good Pastor,/ "Isn't it about surrendering, then?" I think./ "Proceed," He spoke, "in the promotion/ Of Jesus, your Lord, your payed-for portion."/ Learning that there is even liberty/ In not rejecting so glorious an option/ (Option so glorious)/ Glorious portion/ I praise Him, He payed for me/ Your sun shines over me and brings peace/ If anything I know, it is that you are more/ More, more, more, more, more/ More than a story/ More than a song/ You are neither euphoria/ Nor error/ It is basic to sustain/ That you created sky and sea/ How greatly is the One who is alive worshipped/ You helped me understand/ My origin and destiny/ How not to praise the God who is more/  --- Originally this was meant to be much slower, but it took a life of its own and I just wrote it out

Chromera Chroma (2024)

I am very excited to present the full conceptual art for Chromera Chroma (2024), which is to be released as inspiring the music of each piece to be composed in the album! Full release of cover art for conceptual album Chromera Chroma (2024): https://www.facebook.com/reel/1274340126947922/?app=fbl Each photo will give rise to an overall color palette in the mix of photos that is Chromera Chroma, “chromera” coming from the combination of the mediums of expression (music and art) and “chroma” for the colors or moods evoked from each piece with its respective artistic photograph. In short, there is one art piece and a musical theme to go along with it which can include the musical variations or stylistically gradations in the themes present for the album. Similar photos will most likely prove to maintain similarly crafted themes as opposed to each of the themes more distinctive counterparts. I hope you enjoy and look forward to the completion of the album! Soundtracks to be released indivi...

Suspend the Noise: "I Lift You Up" - 02

By
I glorify you/ I magnify you/ I lift you up/ You are the Lord/ There's no mistaking/ I'll never trade it/ What is your love/ for you to notice me/ I lift you up/ I lift you up/ You are the Lord/ Love you gave for me/ Put it all, laid it all down on/ that tree for me/ Gave a form for the billions in the dozens/ You exchanged body for everybody/ I cannot bear so much love/ What you did was more than enough/ ---

ALBUM PREVIEW OUT! Suspend the Noise: "People, to the Lamb (His Name Is)" - 01

By
Based on the following lyrics: Though the enemy shows no love/ Not the Rock of our salvation/ Though the enemy wants to see undone/ Not the Rock of our salvation/ Not our God/ His name is Jesus/ Precious, what your dexterous/ Hand endeavors/ It's your love that paid for my sin/ Can't wash off the power of/ Your mercy sweet/ Your blood, my victory/ People, to the Lamb sing/ Sing/ Identity resounds so fair/ Forever rings true in Him/ All of my rags pale in comparison/ All that I want is to be in Him/ --- I had this idea for People to be very intense dynamically and harmonically, but instead of doing that, and because I did not have a piano sadly, I went for more of dubstep/prog feel. Enjoy!

Realize: "MY DELIGHT" - 04

By
God, you are my all/ God, my help and light/ will keep being you/ And I will think of your sweet love/ until the end/ I will enter the depths/ of your presence/ Who I was is no longer who I am/ I'm focused on the target of your will/ I will find pleasure in you/ I will find pleasure/ I will find joy in my life/ ///I will find pleasure in you/// My shield is Him/ I give Him the glory/ The glory to Him/ -- Traditional but also sorta romps through at the end and leaves you on a tentative note.

Suspend the Noise: "SUSPEND THE NOISE" - 05

By
Suspend the noise/ Be brave, onwards/ It's all you really can do/ Resolve to achieve/ Riches complete/ That will depend on you too/ Let God be Him/ Find the meaning/ Of the fact/ He drove away/ The evil and sin/ It's done and again/ Again, was done, amen/ Onward soldier/ Be strong/ His reign will come/ Harder/ Be sure/ In life/ Suspend the noise/ Don't cave in/ He will win/ Surrender to Him/ You're all clear/ The darkness nears/ But slowly will fade away/ You're alright/ Just take your time/ The dues you owed once are paid/ Try a smile/ It's worthwhile/ To bury your burdens away/ Give up your cards/ D'you want to go that far/ Listen to God/ He is the maker of it all/ And the Way/ He tore down sin/ The place where we begin/ Is in Him/ To suspend the noise is to be in Him/ --- A popular pick, in all its musical splendor. Enjoy.
