Will Hunt, creator of the apt.core
projects, seeks to blend together unique rhythms with
scriptural concepts to create a meditative artform that
will help you contemplate the deeper issues of the faith.
Needless to say, apt.core's work tends to be different.
Even though computer-synthesized
rhythms are the foundation that he builds upon, think
less Andy Hunter/dance, and more
experimental/ambient-style stuff. In other words, don't
look for any of this stuff to show up on Alias,
but it does make a good soundtrack to work or have
devotions to.
2 finds Hunt feeling
quite novel, employing lots of Middle Eastern and
Oriental sounds, along with the usual percussion.
Sometimes you'll hear words mixed or scratched into the
rhythms -- usually taken straight from scripture -- and
on occasion you might even hear some singing. All in all,
it's a trip through Hunt's creative brain that makes for
a most intriguing journey. Only the most nontraditional
listeners need apply, but those that do will be rewarded.

Apt.core, the brainchild of drummer, percussionist and
programmer Will Hunt (Passion, Watermark, Rebecca St.
James), returns with a sophomore project, 2, that
further mines the wide open world of electronic music. With
richly textured beats and soundscapes as the foundation,
apt.core builds a platform for contemplation and devotion
that is tailor-made for a post-modern Church that is
pioneering ways of dialoguing with culture.
Apt.core’s debut, Rhythms Of Remembrance, was an
acclaimed musical work that drew praise far and wide. It
proved true as the record was nominated for two Dove Awards,
and found life as a resource for progressive youth leaders
around the country. With 2, apt.core reaches further into
the burgeoning fields of electronic music and modern
worship, offering music designed to create community and
communication in a fractured world. Provident Music
