Derek Webb Releases Instrumental Worship Album 'Feedback'
Singer/songwriter Derek Webb, former member of the band Caedmon's Call, has released a new instrumental worship album titled 'Feedback'. The album was released exclusively on derekwebb.com yesterday, 2nd November 2010 and will be available from iTunes in early 2011.
Working with Josh Moore, the co-producer from Derek's previous album 'Stockholm Syndrome', and Derek's wife Sandra McCracken, 'Feedback' was inspired by the Lord's Prayer. "These were our coordinates: we would seek to make a worshipful, instrumental, electronic music recording, classically composed into three movements, based strictly on the structure and content of the 'Lord's Prayer' which has three major sections, reflected in the three movements of the composition", explains Derek.
"The very idea of 'worship' has become a complicated one", Derek continues. "Arguably, it's what we all do, 24 hours a day (regardless of what we're worshipping). But in some christian circles, some of which I feel as though I move in and out of, there have been very rigid guidelines regarding what qualifies to be called 'worship,' especially in art. It can typically be identified by a particular sound or look, narrow subject matter, and an uncomfortably predictable and yet mysteriously expected response of those who consume what might be called 'worship product.' So these are troubled waters to wade into as an artist and I have happily and naturally avoided them."
