Hello PSN listeners!

NOTICE

If you’re reading this post anytime after November 2006;
be sure to check out the music page in case new
songs have become available.
Most of the songs listed below have been updated/re-made.

I’d like to greet all the Project Studio Network Podcast listeners out there.

For all other people that have been reading this blog, remember that post I made which was in preparation for something? Well this is it!

I have been featured as an… er… “featured artist” in one of the Podcasts I love listening to. And it’s a very humbling [and terrifying!] experience to have a segment in a show which also had interviewed industry heavyweights such as Grammy Award Winning sound engineer Charles Dye among others.

For the PSN listeners out there, think of this post as a “supplemental” reading to the interview. I was really nervous – and in case you didn’t know, my thoughts can really go all over the place when nervous. Big Al promised to make me sound smarter than I really did, but just in case he didn’t have enough material to salvage, this post should set things straight. Read More

Casino Royale

Got to watch Casino Royale last night.

While I was never really a fan Mr. Fleming’s Bond series (I find Mission Impossible more fun to watch) I have to say that people should cut the new guy some slack. If you get past the whole stigma of James Bond having to look really good, I’d say this new guy did pretty well. Not that the movie had a lot of “acting” in it, but you know what I mean.

Anyways, I couldn’t get the theme song out of my mind. It was awesome. When I first heard it, I said to my girlfriend:

I think this is Audioslave, I’m pretty sure the singer’s Chris Cornell.

I still wasn’t sure since the musical style didn’t sound like Audioslave – it sounded more like Cornell’s songs during his stint as a solo artist. Sure enough, at one point in the credits, it stated clearly stated “Chris Cornell”… not Audioslave.

Anyways, here’s the song (which unfortunately isn’t released with the OST)

Hiling translated

I felt compelled to translate the song to English for an impending “event”… no, I do not intend to re record it in English. What it’s actually for, you guys will soon know in a couple of weeks.

Suffice to say that this is for those people who don’t know the language (tagalog), but took the effort to listen to the song nonetheless. I truly appreciate the time you took to listen to it – so I’m putting the same effort on translating it to english to make the song make sense to you, as well as show you how much more effective the lyrics were when written in our language.

Temptation

I WANT THIS DAMNIT!


Frontier Design Group’s AlphaTrack compact DAW surface controller

Assignable motorized fader, touch-sensitive parameter controls, LCD screen, transport controls, touch-sensitive jog/shuttle control… it’s like a swiss army knife for MIDI control/automation.

More info here (Be sure to check the demo page) I hear it’s only about 200USD, if only I wasn’t getting a new laptop, I’d buy this in a heartbeat. I guess it’s racket time!

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
