Selah is a devotional piano instrumental that was recorded and released Fall 2001. The album’s smooth, introspective feel makes it perfect for prayer and Bible study accompaniment, or for just playing quietly in the background while working. Selah has four original songs written by Steve Pixler, one with lyrics, and eight hymns performed in an innovative style. The word "Selah" means, "to pause and reflect," and this album most certainly captures that mood and purpose. Produced by Steve Pixler. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Brendan Harkin, Wildwood Recording, Brentwood, TN.
