absolutely love how bob kauflin and the worship leader deal with it. it happens to everyone and we just need to get over ourselves at times.

two great examples of humble leadership right here.

God did not leave the building!

thanks for sharing guys

loving it brilliant moment!

love god. love life. love worship

i think this was my favourite moment of the conference.

Aha, oh dear! It's the most funniest thing when mistakes happen, but you never know if your allowed to laugh! I've started songs in the wrong key, went to blame the bass player for the wrong notes, then realised it was me! Started Matt Redman's "Nothing But The Blood" in 6/8 timing. Almost sang a soprano version of "Holding Nothing Back"... Forgot to take the capo off! So many things, but God still moves!

Gutted I missed out on this live!

One of the first times I ever played at church a very very long time ago I was very tired, so tired I forgot where I was. The music was all chilled out and everyone was just singing their own songs to God when I decided it would be a good time to practice my chromatic scales...suddenly remembered where I was again when I got to C#. Nice one. I'm not sure how that even happened.

Aha Emily, that's just amusing! It would be ok if it was in time and key!

Hahahahaha Adam, it was a chromatic scale, how many worship songs do you know that are atonal?!

Emily

yes :)

The term "atonality" itself has been controversial. Arnold Schoenberg, whose music is generally used to define the term, was vehemently opposed to it, arguing that "The word 'atonal' could only signify something entirely inconsistent with the nature of tone. . . . [T]o call any relation of tones atonal is just as farfetched as it would be to designate a relation of colors aspectral or acomplementary. There is no such antithesis" (Schoenberg 1978, 432). He preferred the term "pantonal." For some, the term continues to carry negative connotations.
"Atonal" developed a certain vagueness in meaning as a result of its use to describe a wide variety of compositional approaches that deviated from traditional chords and chord progressions. Attempts to solve these problems by using terms such as "pan-tonal," "non-tonal," "multi-tonal", "free-tonal," and "without tonal center" instead of "atonal" have not gained broad acceptance.

Schoenberg devised a compositional technique called serialism or twelve-tone technique, some have said that it sounds like death. Schoenberg believes the term "atonality" to be controversial because his whole approach to composition was controversial during the Romantic period. Although you, and Schoenberg, may object to the use of the word "atonal", worship music is generally tonal or diatonic, an opposite of which is accepted by most musicians as being atonal.

I find your face controversial.
