The project “My Father’s House” began very organically and without an end goal in mind. Early on during the UK lockdown in early 2020, the Tapistri family had a few zoom family hangouts, and, as part of these, they also happened to share a few songs. Some were new, some had been written some years back, but what they very quickly discovered is that each song uniquely carried something that spoke directly and deeply into them. Without any orchestration on their part, they’ve also discovered the ebb and flow from each track into another, fitting together so well, forming a tapestry upon which to gaze! These tracks could tell a story individually BUT also together.

As everything physically changed for us due to lockdown, the home was the place where all of us were at, all the time! It was the place we worked from, relaxed in, played in, prayed in, encountered Jesus in etc. It was the place that this project was born and developed. Recordings took place at home. “Zoom and video messaging became the new way of communicating for us and for developing ideas and working on each track“, shared Tapistri.

“When it came time to begin thinking about a name, the core team working on this project went away and prayed and listened to these tracks and allowed Jesus to speak through them and give them a voice. There was a clear sense of home being a resounding theme to these songs. We began playing around with the word home, synonyms and all the likes of that, but we kept coming back to the name of the final track on this EP, ‘My Father’s House’. It said it all. It summed up what these songs spoke of. It portrayed the overarching pilgrimage that this little tapestry wove. We were to come back to that place of home, that space of intimacy with Papa, our Father’s house. It was a longing to find Him, and to find ourselves at rest and at peace; home.”
