(Do Do Do)

Here’s another composition by GP called (do do do)

[the song was] originally titled “Dominion” but GP changed it just when I was drafting up the info for the song for the music section.

GP claims to have literally dreamt it – then immediately went to the keyboard and not long after, had the full instrument arrangement, the basic melody, and some lyrics.

I came up with the rest of the lyrics and harmonies – and there we have it.

Simply put: GP wrote the chorus, bridge and the first two lines of the first verse. Whatever was left was my doing. It’s also to be mentioned that GP provided the full accompaniment – so I just laid the vocal tracks and thought up the harmonies as I went along.

A nice piece of trivia about this song was when I first heard it, it was just the chorus, and it sounded really funny – and I didn’t give it much thought after that. But one day GP had me listen to the background music in its entirety, it actually had a hook to it which is why I ended up working on it as well.

Rewriting history

Here’s a BukasPalad song arranged by my friend as performed by the Philippine Madrigal Singers.

Aside from being a splendid arrangement (and of course I always want to support any of my friends), there are a couple of facts I wanted to point out that merited it being posted on the blog. Read More

Another song

And yet another song has been uploaded to the music section. This time, it’s a religious song composed by my friend (GP Eleria) entitled “Jess”.

He also did the sequencing of the background music, so my role in the song (aside from the vocals) is the mixing and mastering – which was quite a challenge because he sent me a single track for the music. All instruments, loops etc. were already mixed into the track so there was no way to manipulate individual instrument levels.
