STRESSED?
Before i knew it... i'm actually working on four albums all at the same time... Oh man!!!
I didn't exactly plan it this way but things are getting to be hectic in the studio. We're actually constructing another room to accomodate the projects. Current albums in progress are as follows:
Mike Bon Project ..... a very good guitar player with a penchant for writing his own original material. His album is going to be a good one since i kinda like his songwriting abilities plus it's material suitable for radio airplay. Produced by the Triggerman
Dk Tijam................. one of the finalist in the first Star in a million competition. We actually started this project some time ago but for reasons beyond our control, this project had to be shelved.
He is back and i am doing two arrangements for him, one of them being a revival of the song "Getting to know each other" and the other one an original composition by Froi Canlas who also happens to be a member of the group " Souldground" an acoustic group of which my son is also a vocalist. I do have a couple of guitar work on this album so it should be an album to watch out for.
Jeremiah................yep the guys who sang "Nanghihinayang " are back as a reformed trio now being handled by my friends at Reddmon Productions.... this album is produced by Paolo Zarate.
I have an arrangement of a song written by Marlone Silva entitled "Only You" where i'm playing my new Taylor.
Carlos Agassi..... being produced by the very talented Gloc 9. This one i was supposed to just arrange one song but i ended up doing two more. :-)
once again it features a lot of guitar work plus very impressive rap styles from Carlos.
and of course other side project... like a new TV network theme for Christmas and a song for one of the guys in Pinoy Big Brother... up to you guys to figure out which one though.
Im actually working with Jon on HIS upcoming album which will have his own version of the Pinoy Big Brother theme song, which he wrote.
Again i got to be on TV when the new Vina M album was launched since i played Electric Guitar for her for that gig. It was such a blast to actually play live again even for just one night.
I miss playing in front of an audience but working with young talented musicians was a thrill to me. Years ago i made a living out of playing live but now i would much rather play on recordings since they last longer and it gives me a chance to actually be creative when putting guitar parts.
Oh and i do have a couple of arrangements and gutiar work on the new Vina Album..
ahhhh, to actually be a musician again. :-)
