Timeless Texts.

New Melodies. 

Colorful Orchestrations.

We are embarking on a journey to create something that has never been done quite like this. Through the combined efforts of over 150 musicians, we are bringing texts to life that proclaim the Gospel through a musical palate that transcends genres. Every note and rest is carefully arranged to dramatically magnify the text. We believe that the church is at a strategic musical crossroads in which the divides between genre, demographic, and preference continue to grow, and if not addressed will cause the rift to remain, or styles to simply be phased out in their entirety. We believe that this album, by God's grace, is the first of our offerings towards bridging the gap. 

We believe that the most compelling music in the world should be coming from within the Church. Bach and his Christian contemporaries achieved this, not only through aesthetic appeal or commercial acclaim, but through excellence in craft and execution that continues to transcend boundaries of intellect, age, or style. We hold fast to this heritage and aim for such excellence.

The recording serves as the keystone to Slowly in Type's other resources (including scores and parts) for utilization in the church. The album is a potent resource for music departments and congregations alike. We also plan to make “stems” (isolated tracks) for each song available to supplement any church's ensemble (of varying sizes and ability) to help realize the songs in their fullest context. 

The Budget.

48% - 60 piece orchestra, 80 voice choir, 6 piece rhythm section 
38% - Recording Studios, Engineers, Mixing, Mastering, Orchestration, Music Preparation, Producer 
9% - Crowdfunding Fees 
5% - Copyrights, Duplication, Shipping

Making an album is costly when Choir, Orchestra, and Band are involved. We’ve optimized the budget without compromising on the essential elements.

Who We Are. 

Ryan Foglesong is a worship leader at Grace Baptist Church in Santa Clarita CA, a songwriter and bass player for the band Enfield, and an adjunct faculty member at The Master’s College. Since 2011, he has helped arrange songs for and play bass on several Sovereign Grace albums including “From Age to Age,” and “Grace Has Come.” He also teaches seminars at Worship God, an annual national conference for church musicians.

Ryan is a gifted lyricist and melodist and ensures that the pieces we produce are singable, accessible, and original. 

Grant Fonda is an award-winning composer and orchestrator in the Film Industry and the concert world. He holds degrees in Music Composition from The Master's College, The University of Missouri-Columbia, and The University of Southern California (USC). Grant has extensive experience writing for and leading groups of all mediums from across the United States, and has worked as a composer and orchestrator on a myriad of projects in the Film Industry. He has collaborated with several Oscar and Grammy nominated composers, and has extensive experience leading music in churches of varying sizes and styles. 

Grant applies his dramatic sensibilities and orchestration chops to each tune from Slowly in Type to make sure that the arrangements dramatically and musically support the text through charts that are simultaneously accessible and exacting of a high standard of musicianship from each player.

Scott Frankfurt is our Grammy-nominated Producer for the project. Scott has collaborated with recording artists including Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, Sergio Mendes, Yo-Yo Ma, and Jeremy Lubbock.  He has been instrumental in bringing the records of Enfield to life, and brings invaluable studio savvy, artistry, industry wisdom, and creativity to this album.
