Page CXVI / Hymns / Blog

Page CXVI is a project started with the idea of making Hymns accessible and known again. They are some of the richest, most meaningful, and moving pieces of music ever written.

• The Roots Of PageCXVI

  For those of you who don’t already know, We have another music project called, “The Autumn Film.” It’s the same 3 people behind PageCXVI. We’d love to take some time and explain a bit about this other band. Hop aboard, grab a coffee, and  settle in. We hope you enjoy the backstory.
  

  The Backstory

  
  
  The Autumn Film (seen above) started a bit before PageCXVI, with the intent of creating beautiful music that wasn’t necessarily intended for corporate worship. We were drawn to the idea of creating original music that reflects one of our favorite characteristics of God—beauty. We spent time touring the US, playing in bars, clubs and anywhere else that would have us.
  
  While on tour as The Autumn Film, we played in Churches on the weekends, starting out with covers of popular worship songs, and then eventually leading worship with Hymns. As we spent more time playing on the road, we stumbled on the fact that we were effectively operating as two separate bands. In order to clarify who we were in each space, we decided to officially name our worship project, “PageCXVI.”
  
  Our devotion to making hymns accessible and known again came from our hearts yearning to have these particular songs be heard again, and our deep respect and admiration of the story, intent and theologically rich content that seemed to be missing in a lot of modern songs. At the same time, we continue to be drawn to create beautiful, meaningful and moving original music that isn’t necessarily used for corporate worship. Ultimately The Autumn Film and PageCXVI serve two different purposes, and we thought it best to give them two different names.
  
  Phew! That was a lot. Thanks for sticking with us. Here’s some exciting news that’s happening with The Autumn Film.
  
  If you’re completely new to The Autumn Film, you should go here and get a feel for the music. We also have 2 full length albums out, and 12 songs that you can download for free here.
  
  If you’re totally up to date with TAF, and you’re like, “Duh, I knew this stuff way before you officially announced it, get on with it already,” our next piece of exciting news for The Autumn Film is that we’re putting out another full length album (hopefully) really soon.
  
  We actually need your help on this one to release it as soon as possible. Here’s some info about the new album.
  
  “8-Track Tape” is the name of our next record. The track titles are: (in no particular order)
  • Leave The Light On
  • Save Me
  • Row
  • I’m Going In
  • Love Is An Avalanche
  • Looking For A Sign
  • Slow Down
  • The Giving Tree
  
  Even though this release is under a different name, it’s similar to the style of PageCXVI that you know and love. The difference is that these are all original songs that we’ve written for a diverse audience. We are really excited about the possibility of having a potentially bigger reach than PageCXVI can have simply because of the nature of this project.
