Arrangements?

If you read yesterday's post, you found out about the recent string recordings I did with Sleeping at Last.  If you're an artist that's interested in adding strings to your songs, please feel free to contact me anytime!

I write original arrangements.  

I perform your own string arrangements.  

I can build parts as small (solo) or large (orchestra) as you want.

My studio is professional.

My cost is competitive.

My turn-around time is quick and easy.

I've worked with lots and lots of artists/bands over the past 10 years, and would LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU...

Please contact me: ross@rosschristopher.com if you have any questions or would be interested having me work on an upcoming project!

Peace,
Ross

ATLAS: Light (recording strings for Sleeping at Last)

Over the past month I've had the amazing opportunity of recording strings for 2 brand new Sleeping at Last tunes!  Ryan is quite possibly the most humble and genuine artist I've ever worked with.  I got to know Ryan this past fall on tour with him and Jars of Clay.  It was a blast and I consider it an honor to call him a friend!

Here's the 2 songs I recorded strings on.  They are part of his newest EP, ATLAS: LIGHT.

You Are Enough


The Projectionist


If you haven't purchased the EP, do so HERE!


Peace,
Ross

p.s. it's also doesn't hurt when said album becomes an iTunes featured album (along w/ the likes of The Civil Wars)...

Italy Recap!

We're back from Italy!  Kate and I spent 10 days in Positano, Italy (Almafi Coast), celebrating our 10 year anniversary.  It was a wonderful trip, highlighted by amazing food, history, views, boating on the Mediterranean, and more food...

Peace,
Ross

TONIGHT (w/ James McCartney)

Yesterday I got called by a concert promoter to open TONIGHT for James McCartney (Paul's son)!  I could not be more excited...so if you're in St Louis and looking for something to fill your Tuesday night, come on out to THE DEMO (brand new boutique venue in The Grove)!

Peace,
Ross

PAST

While wrapping up an instrumental piece yesterday, I wrote these lines...possibly a chorus or verse?  I like the overall concept; that linear-time constantly places things in the past.  By the time thoughts and words and experiences and sounds enter the brain, and register as beauty or darkness or joy or loss, they have already passed.  The present is miniscule and the future is fast-approaching!

Peace,
Ross

And by the time 

You hear this line

What was said

Will be the past

Momentary words

Are now and gone

Tomorrow's past

At last.
