Serving the Lord & His People

*Disclaimer: Believers in Christ are called to serve the Lord and His church with all their hearts; an act of their own volition. Though I do not advocate using the term "volunteer" to describe service work in the church, servants of the Lord are instruments of God's will and not a title of nobility (1 Peter 2:16), I choose this adjective to clarify for employers that the roles I have adopted over the years and will continue to pursue are non-profit efforts without pay. These efforts do not and will not compromise my commitment as an employee to a given organization. This disclaimer is meant to eliminate any concern of moonlighting or conflict of interest.

"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood" [Acts 20:28]. "For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another" [Galatians 5:13]. "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men" [Colossians 3:23].

Song Idea 7: On the Rationality of Fairness

The original version of Song Idea 7: On the Rationality of Fairness was fully composed and performed by me without AI. The lyrics and music are of sole human authorship. The version shown here was generated using Suno AI, using only the original lyrics I wrote. These lyrics draw inspiration from Romans 8:6, Exodus 3:14, John 8:58, and René Descartes’ “Cogito, ergo sum.”


Creepin Through the Darkness

Creepin Through the Darkness is a song originally created in 2012 using only my voice and the BOSS RC-30 Loop Station. All audio is of human authorship. In 2024, I reimagined the track in FL Studio 21 using new vocal samples, VST instruments (Flex and CM Drum Hits), and the same melodic structure: F# / E / Eb / Db. The first 73 seconds of the remix are entirely human-produced. Later sections experiment with SUNO AI’s upload feature, generating full AI adaptations from the original human-made recordings.


“O Ye of Little Faith” Vocal Demo

“O Ye of Little Faith” is a vocal demo blending my original music and performances with AI-assisted instrumentation. The first 120 seconds are entirely human-created, featuring my own vocals. Inspired by Matthew 8:26 (KJV), the lyrics were co-written with my wife. Produced in FL Studio, this piece builds on my original recordings, using AI to enhance and expand the musical vision while preserving its spiritual and emotional core.
