Hopeful Soundbed fills the room with an atmosphere of peace and hope. The spacious and emotive piano playing is supported by subtle pads and toplines which gently embelish the music without distracting from the moment in your service or live streams.

Soundbeds include all 12 keys and are accessible directly within the Playback app or as a WAV download.

About the Soundbeds

I’ve put soundbeds these together to provide churches with more options to add the right atmosphere to messages and moments, even with a very small or inexperienced team.
All these performances are prayerful improvisations – and my prayer is these would bless whoever uses them or listens to them!
Besides being able to serve as bedding music, these soundbeds can also be useful for reflection or devotional time, or as a bed under visual content and spoken word.
In my church, these files were used underneath MC and response moments – but they have also proved helpful for our media team - who were able to pick music that would already end (or start) in the right key for worship moments.

What's Included

When you download the Soundbeds you will see these 3 folders:
Audio Full Mix: singles files in all 12 keys, ready to use wherever suited
Midi: the original midi of the piano part (which also triggered the pad) , in case you wanted to edit a section, amend the tempo, or change the instrumentation
Stems: exports of the individual sounds in all 12 keys – so you can adjust the mix of elements to your liking.

Stem Elements

Each stem key will have four main layers
Piano: the piano performance
Top layer: a subtle verby octaved layer to add width
Pads: following the piano performance, but adding a bit of glue and thickness
Shimmer: a more constant atmospheric layer to add movement
You will also notice a folder called ‘Atmosphere (optional)’ – this is a non-tonal layer with very subtle nature soundcapes. In the right context (e.g. reflection music) these may add to the experience – but in other settings they might be distracting.

Tips & Tricks

A few ideas to make the most of these soundbeds.
Combining these with any of my other soundbeds in the same key will form a 60+ minute devotional playlist.
Why not use the shimmer files from the stems folder for your own compositions!
The Atmosphere files are interchangeable (although in slightly different lengths) - you could even combine more than one file in a session.
