You Can Support the The Stones Cry Out Project

I have shared on this blog about a project that I've been involved with- the, The Stones Cry Out- television program.  My brother and sister-in-law have been in Israel for the past several months filming  the first three of thirteen episodes. I've helped with some of the writing, and I'm producing the music for the project.

If you'd like to support this project you can check out the project's Facebook page.  You could also check out my music at Bandcamp.  Half of all the proceeds will go to JEO (Jerusalem Evangelical Outreach) Video Projects, and the other half will go to The Salvation Army in Newton, Iowa (where I'm currently serving.)

The music is inexpensive - many of them are 'name your own price' (which means you could put in $0.00) and, I think, interesting.  And in downloading it you get to support two great groups - and get some great music.

The Stones Cry Out - The Shoemaker's Shop

I have already mentioned the project that my brother and sister-in-law are working on (and to which I am contributing some help...), The Stones Cry Out,  an Arabic language television program about Jesus and archaeology in Israel.  The crew is currently filming the first three - of thirteen - episodes.

If you'd like to see some of the behind the scenes work watch this video.
If you'd like to listen to some of the music that I've prepared for the show, listen to this song.

And if you'd like to see some still photos from the show, you can look at these.
These photos come from the shoemaker's shop - part of the first episode, which focuses on the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls at Qumran.

Mystery - The Stones Cry Out

My brother and I frequently collaborate on projects.  Last year we worked together on a zombie movie. On another occasion when he was hired to work as the director of photography on an independent film called Kansas City Beat, I put together a short piece of music - that the directors liked and asked if they could use in the film.

And now we're working together again, albeit in different parts of the world.  He is in Israel filming the first three episodes of a Arabic language television program entitled The Stones Cry Out.  I am - not in Israel- helping with the scripts and with the music.  (The crew has received funding for another 10 episodes!)

Here is one of the songs that I've put together for the show.



You can hear a little bit of the song in this behind the scenes video.

I spoke with my brother a little bit this afternoon.  They had some excitement while filming at the Jordan River today.  At one point my brother had climbed into a tree in order to get the necessary shot when he realized that he was being covered in a swarm of ants.  Instead of flailing about, trying to swat them - and possibly dropping the camera or falling from the tree - my brother did the sensible thing and climbed out of the tree and baptized himself in the river.

Later the crew saw smoke coming from one of the laptop cords.... Fortunately my sister-in-law was there to yank the cable out before the laptop was fried.

A crazy day, but my brother said that he likes what they filmed today.


In making the song above I used the following sounds from the Freesound Project :

The Stones Cry Out - Behind the Scenes

This is the newest collaborative project between my brother and myself. Or rather, this is a preview of our latest collaborative project. He is currently in Israel filming the first three (of thirteen) episodes of a short television program called The Stones Cry Out.  This particular video is a behind the scenes sort of teaser for the program. The focus of episode one is on the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
