I finally implemented a flash-based solution to enable visitors to just listen to my songs right from the music section. I kinda renovated the code of the page while I was at it. Here’s a screenshot of how the “user interface” works.
Another song entitled “Color” has been posted on the music page. It’s a song from my band from high school (circa 1996). It was a collaborative effort of three of us in the band, however to be fair, the bulk of the song was from our vocalist Raffy Manalo (who wrote the words and basic melody).
It’s very upbeat, which is a welcome break from the previous two, slow songs.
I finished my newest song. This was my first Filipino written song so I was constantly struggling with the right balance of simple to complex pinoy words. I wanted to make the sentences simple enough for normal speech/singing, but complex enough to sound… lyrical (for lack of a better term). Anyways I still don’t know if I got it right – and ultimately I could never personally judge because I don’t really “compose” in a Filipino mindset.
Tell me what you think, it can be found in my music page, It’s entitled “Hiling”
Since I came back from Australia, I haven’t had the chance to thank certain people for “plugging” me in their weblogs from the past year (ok actually only one from last year, but another one recently, hence this post). Of course Anybody can plug anyone – doesn’t really mean what they’re plugging is that important (but I do hope mine falls into the “somewhat cool/important category… asa pa ako!) In any case, it doesn’t hurt to be cordial and to give thanks where thanks is due.
