Salt Of The Sound

Hey friends

We are absolutely thrilled to have collaborated once again with our long-time musical friend Mike Graff aka Dear Gravity to create a brand new four-track instrumental EP.

In All Things is crafted as a musical journey that begins at dawn with 'Hymn for the Morning', followed by 'Selah' - often used in the Psalms as a musical pause or a lifting up of voices for moments of reflection. The EP continues with 'Evening Prayer' and concludes with 'In All Things (A Prayer for Peace)', a collaborative reimagining of our recent single A Prayer for Peace.

In an ever-divided and turbulent world, this release feels timely today - and we hope it serves as a soundtrack for your personal prayer or meditation journey, or simply provides some calm moments for your heart and mind.

And as you listen, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

With peace,
Anita, Ben & Mike

Hey friends,

We're really pleased to share the third edition of our 'Lent' series of EPs - on.echoes.blue/lent-vol-3

After a super tumultuous year filled with highs and lows for us personally, we have been looking forward to the re-centering that Lent and the Easter season brings.

For this reason, we wanted to be reminded ourselves on where we should be focusing during this Lenten season, and the classic hymn Nothing But the Blood of Jesus was the song that immediately came to mind to complete the trio of songs in this release.

We hope that Lent, Vol. 3 is a blessing to you in moments of stillness and reflection over the coming months.

With peace and love,
Anita & Ben

Hi friends

We are so pleased to share our new album For All The Moments In Between with you today!

The album is a collection of songs inspired by the full experience of the human condition - through the emotions of joy and grief, during times of elation and loss, and in all the moments in between. Stemming from one of the most challenging yet simultaneously life-giving seasons in our lives, the music aims to capture the beauty and wholeness that emerges from the everyday.

Listen to the album wherever music is on.echoes.blue/moments

“If you ever like to just sit and be still, or to have a quiet time of prayer or reflection – this album will move you and will leave you with a sense of peace. Simply stunning. 5/5”
- Louder Than The Music

We truly hope the music brings you some times of rest, solace, and reflection.

With peace, love, and gratitude for all your support

Hey friends

We're really pleased to share a new single with you today - a cinematic-yet-reflective take on the traditional Kyrie Eleison (Lord, Have Mercy) liturgical text.

Kyrie Eleison was written out of a time of uncertainty & unanswered questions. A time when we were forced to rely completely on God, and to ask others to pray and intercede for us.

Our story was ultimately a positive one, but during this time we met others for whom this was not the case - and their stories ended in grief. And so we say 'Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy' for those without the words to pray.

With peace & love

Hey friends

We're really pleased to share a new single with you today, Overflow - written with our good friend and regular collaborator Simon Wester.

Reflective and encouraging in equal measure, the song invites the listener to reach beyond the walls we have built up in our lives, to instead overflow with love for others.

Overflow, as well as Be Still and Know His Name that we released earlier in the year, will both feature on our forthcoming album, For All The Moments In Between.

We'll share more music from this project over the coming weeks as we prepare for its release on 20th October... but for now, we really hope you enjoy Overflow.

With peace and love,
Anita & Ben

Hey friends,

2023 marks 10 years since our first Salt of the Sound music was released, and to celebrate we decided to record this new version of our most popular track from the past decade (Even the Wind and the Waves Obey Him)

We added some ethereal vocals, a more orchestral and organic production style, and a few atmospheric oceanic field recordings towards the end...

You can download it for free (or 'pay what you want') on Bandcamp (saltofthesound.bandcamp.com/track/be-still-and-kno…, and it's also available to stream wherever music is at on.echoes.blue/be-still-and-know ✨

We really hope you enjoy it!

With peace, love, and gratitude,

We're honoured to have three of our tracks - including ‘When I Survey’ from our new EP Hymns for Morningtide - included as part of this companion album to Eric Todd’s new book, The Fullness of Love.

Released on ‪@EchoesBlueMusic‬, here is a little more about this musical compilation:

“The album features nine stunning tracks from Christian artists whose music is both inspired by ancient musical traditions yet simultaneously is at the forefront of Christian music expression in 2022 – including ‪@saltofthesound‬ ‪@elizaking‬ ‪@risingviolet9738‬ ‪@AnitaTatlow‬ ‪@DearGravity‬ ‪@bestilltheearth‬ & Eric Todd himself. Firmly rooted in the contemporary ‘ambient worship’ scene, the album provides a soundtrack to be able to reflect on, and be inspired by, the themes explored in the book.”

Hey friends

It's here! We're so pleased to finally be able to share our new EP in its entirety. Hymns for Morningtide is out now wherever music is!

Stream & download: on.echoes.blue/morningtide

Intended as a follow-up of sorts to last year's Hymns for Eventide, this EP features six of our favourite hymns, reimagined in a contemporary yet contemplative style. With this EP our intention was to explore a slightly more 'organic' production style than we have in the past - many of the sounds you hear have acoustic origins, including the percussive tongue drum tones that form ambient soundscapes in most of the pieces, as well as cello, guitar, and of course Anita's ethereal vocals.

With so much uncertainty and conflict in the world, we've found great comfort in the textual depth of these hymns. We truly hope that the same may be true for you, and that the music might provide some moments of peace, reflection, and hope.

With love from Hong Kong,
Anita & Ben
