Here's the deal - I live 5 minutes from every major recording studio, but I do 90% of my work here at the house, in my own little home studio. We're talking major label recordings, movie tracks, commericials, all kinds of stuff. They send me files, I do keys, and send them back. It's the way of the industry now, and the reason why the major recording studios are folding.

The upside is that I can move to someplace like Colorado Springs, buy a 4,000 sware foot custom home, build out a full studio in the basement (they have basements there!) and still do that work. And for touring, it doesn't matter at all. They'll fly you to where they want you.

But the truth is that this new thing seems much more interesting to me. It's been a long time since I've been thrilled by anything in the industry, and the idea of a huge church that wants to make a serious investment in building and sustaining a creative culture is exciting to me.

Also, lets be honest. The idea of a 4,000 square foot custom home on 2 acres is also pretty exciting to me.
