Spike (our amazing producer and bass player) prepares to work with Matt to record the lead vocal for the next (2nd) track – Psalm 103 – on our new (at this stage un-named) album. Most of the instrument tracks and backing vocals are recorded, and during this studio session Matt will add the final lead … Continued

On July 13th, 2024, we marked our 30th Anniversary with a truly special concert in Melbourne, Australia. We had the honour of collaborating with the talented Jared Haschek, who crafted string arrangements and assembled an 8-piece string section for the event. The live strings added a remarkable depth to our performance of the Psalms, especially … Continued

Well, the fun begins again as we start the process of recording for our 10th studio album. Matt and the crew – mostly Spike at this stage – have been working through various concepts and we’ve begun recording work for Psalms 103 and 13. Like our Man of Sorrows album, tracks will be released for … Continued

Back in 2022, we had the opportunity to film a new collection of live videos, in an amazing old building at the renowned Geelong College, in our home town Geelong. The building is the dining hall for the senior school, opened by the Governor-General, Lord Stonehaven (1874-1941) on ‘Old Boys’ Day, 21 March 1930. With … Continued

Filmed during our streamed concert in 2020 (in the midst of the pandemic) Psalm 19 is one of our favourites in the way it demonstrates the way we use ‘movements’ within our musical interpretations to serve the Psalm text. Featuring an opening instrumental solo from our multi-instrumentalist Mike Follent, there are two distinct musical ‘movements’ … Continued

Although most of our songs are written in the studio (or at least take their form there) part of our creative process over the years has also been to develop additional parts that add colour, during our live performances. We’ll often ‘road-test’ a song before we put down the final recording. While we do spend … Continued

We’ve started work on our next studio album with initial writing sessions in the studio for Psalm 13 and Psalm 103. As always Spike (our producer and bass player) works with Matt to take these raw ideas and then build them into a full musical interpretation of the Psalm. It’s always amazing to watch how … Continued

In this re-imagining of Psalm 130 – for our reCollection album, we started with an instrumental departure straight “off the bat” by having Matt play the iconic guitar part on an electric guitar instead of an acoustic guitar. (Thanks again to friend of the band Michael Brown for the loaner!) Seeking to achieve an atmospheric … Continued

We started off this recollection with the beautifully peaceful Psalm 128 which was originally recorded on our 2002 album Shelter. Anna’s moving interpretation of the melody, from gentle encouragement to a soaring proclamation of the Lord’s blessing, was a tremendous inspiration for our resident string arranging genius Jared Haschek to do his thing. Creating a … Continued

Liz Young is a great friend of Sons of Korah. After years of passionately following our music as a fan, Liz was thrilled with the opportunity of joining us in concert for the first time in 2015 and we were equally thrilled with the depth and emotion her playing brought to those concerts. It’s been … Continued

The world-renowned Nashville String Machine (NSM) have an extensive and diverse credit list and has established itself as America’s premier recording orchestra for nearly 30 years.  Jared Haschek has worked with the NSM on a number of occasions and here we see him directing the strings recording of his string arrangement for our interpretation of … Continued

Finally we have Psalm 110 available and released through our APP to in-app subscribers. It’s been great to share some of the journey of where these Psalms begin and how so many people contribute to bring them to their full glory.        Rod Gear has been a key part of the Sons of Korah project … Continued

Once we have the core sections of a new piece identified and partially shaped with a basic ‘guide track’, Spike (our Producer/Bass Player) then starts to build the arrangement with other instruments. For this session we continue to work on Psalm 110, and Matt and Spike are working with Rod, our drummer/percussionist, on the various … Continued

Matthew Jacoby It’s hard to describe how a composition comes together and impossible to teach. The simplest way is to start with a musical motif (that we might stumble upon as we noodle around) and then add lyrics and develop it from there in a fairly intuitive way. In our case this process is complicated … Continued

We’re getting close to completing our next studio recording – Psalm 115. This little snippet showcases our multi-instrumentalist – Mike Follent – laying down some resonator tracks in the studio to add colour to the other instrumentation. We’re in the studio working on the final vocal tracks, mixing and then off to mastering. Once completed … Continued

Gareth Skinner has played Cello on both our Refuge and Fractures albums, and now, as we work on the next batch of Psalms, we’ve got him back in the studio.

In this session, Matt and Spike are working with Daniel Hernandez to develop the piano part for a brand new Sons of Korah track. Here’s a sneak peek of the guys at work.
