The Algorithmic Cantor
The Algorithmic Cantor creates devotional songs that support the Sundays and Seasons liturgical planner, created through prayer, Scripture, and the careful use of AI tools.
The lectionary chooses the Scriptures. My congregation’s planning resources shape the theology. I direct AI tools — Copilot for lyric drafting and Suno for musical generation — to help produce worship music that is faithful, singable, and rooted in the rhythms of the church year. Every piece is curated and refined by hand.
This channel includes:
• ELW public‑domain hymns
• Scripture paraphrases
• Original devotional songs
• Folk‑acoustic and chant‑influenced styles
Music for worship planners, pastors, musicians, and anyone seeking prayerful music for Sundays and seasons.

Today’s Song: Come to Me and Rest A peaceful worship ballad for anyone carrying heavy burdens.
Scripture: Matthew 11:28–30
“You, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me.” — Psalm 86:17
