BACK TO BLISS
Backkkkkkkk.... I just spent like ten days in Holiday Inn Galeria... thanks to Jaymsterbean for helping out with that gig. I just spent like ten great days doing absolutely nothing. Well except for eating and sleeping .... sort of like a vacation of sorts.
Back doing the new Erik Santos album which features several cuts of remakes of songs popularized by bands... I'm doing two arrangements for this album... One is a rearrangement of " Wag na lang kaya" by Truefaith and an old song from the AMO band entitled " Running Away " which is kinda cool considering i did the original recording ages ago in RJ 's studio in Makati.
The true faith reaarangement is really cool since the album producer Jonathan Manalo, who by the way is coming out with an album of his own in November featuring rearrangements of his popular compositions.... kinda like an experimental album of sorts... since his arrangements are more like ... well ... "unique".
"Wag na lang kaya" is arranged really sparse since he wanted an Electronica sound element on it... You'll actually hear me play a guitar synth solo on the adlib section.
I got myself a new toy ! I now own a brand new ZOOM G9.tt multi fx processor... which i am still currently learning to use . I do like the amp simulation and the functionality of the unit.
We actually had to go to Quiapo ... as in go to Raon to buy the unit.
"Running Away" has been rearranged slower to give it a ballad feel instead of the old RnB flavor it had.
Now if only i knew how to post audio samples... this blog would be really cool won't it?
:-)
Specially since Bliss is almost finished with the four song recording... hey! It might come out as and EP
more of Bliss soon... Promise
