My studies have been keeping me super busy, but I thought I was well overdue in making another music video! Here is another one of my favourite hymns of praise sung in our Catholic churches: All People That On Earth Do Dwell. The text is based on Psalm 100 and was written by William Kethe (d. 1594). The music is "Old One Hundredth," written by Louis Bourgeois (d. 1561) And yes, that's me times five. :-) Compositing was done in Final Cut Pro X. Music was produced in Logic Pro X. Enjoy!

ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL - Priest Choir
Let everything praise the Lord - including, as is said in Daniel 3:70, ice and snow. And also the aurora borealis (northern lights). This ancient hymn is one of my favourites! It was a beautiful, albeit frigid day at Turtle Lake, Saskatchewan (-35ºC / -31ºF windchills). The song is based from the ancient, 4th century hymn Te Deum Laudamus. I had fun producing this music video (and using some split-screen choir trickery at the same time). I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know below which song I should record next. Holy God, we praise thy name. Lord of all, we bow before thee. All on earth thy scepter claim; all in heav’n above adore thee. Infinite thy vast domain, everlasting is thy reign. Hark, the loud celestial hymn, angel choirs above are raising. Cherubim and seraphim, in unceasing chorus praising, fill the heav’ns with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy Lord! Blessings to you all!

One of the greatest sport themes was the old 1987-1994 CFL on CBC theme. Unfortunately this theme seems to be unavailable in all of its original glory, save for somewhat grainy captures from a vintage VCR. Here is my cover version. Download it here: https://saskapriest.com/music/ No copyright infringement is intended; this is simply for private usage. (And if the original songwriter / publisher / CBC wants to make the original recording available for us to enjoy, a lot of us would love that!)

Behind the Scenes: Lego Saturn V Rocket Launch A few months ago I produced a VFX launch sequence of my Lego Saturn V rocket (the rocket used in the Apollo moon missions). A bunch of people asked me how that was done, so here’s an edit showing some of the elements that were shot to assemble the final product. Model photography is fun! All elements were shot by me. I used my LEGO Saturn V, layers of steam from a water kettle, motion control with a blue screen, dropped bits of paper... whatever I had available to me. The elements were composited together in Final Cut Pro X. Audio came from the fine folks at Epidemic Sound. Enjoy! * I'd love to meet you!

More Tunes for you: here is something we call the Millette Guitar Concerto. (not a real concerto 😆) This is some home recording guitar rock for you! It was recorded in 2008-2009 and I remastered it earlier this week using some tools in Logic Pro X that I've learned over the years. The recording used several of my homemade microphones plus a few others (the Shure SM7B plays a large role). Enjoy!

Home recording (guitar rock): Millette Guitar Concerto (REMASTERED)
Fr. Darryl Millette Live Stream
Years ago my brothers and I set out to record a bunch of music, jam session-style. I recently decided that it'd be fun to go back and re-edit several tracks with my greatly-improved audio setup. For this recording I used several of my homemade microphones (they're the spinning diy microphones in the video) in addition to a couple of name-brand mics. Sound editing was done in Logic Pro X and video in Final Cut Pro X. Hope you enjoy! Download the MP3 here! http://dmillette.fastmail.fm/album/05%20Rockem%20Sockem%20Hockey.mp3 * I'd love to meet you!
