Gig today with indus was pretty good i felt... Thanks for all you came down... Arep's friend Yusof?, Nic, Esther's friend Natasha?, Maurice, Benita...
I feel like collaborating with someone i never worked with before... but not sure if i really wanna do it or not... and whether the pple i wanna work with wanna work with me... Not even sure what type of stuff would come out...just feel that the core ideas should really be "collaborated"...not sure if it is a 1 off thing or a more permanent thing... not sure if it would even work... haha...i think i should think about it a while more...
the 2 things that i am sure about it is that i want to share core creative processes because i find doing so very intimidating and i wanna work with people i have not worked with before...

Bought Feist's latest album The Reminder. Not a bad album...i quite like it... a few songs i really like... didn't run away from the Female singer songwriter vibe though... was kinda hoping it did deviate from that template...
Gig with indus i had no idea how it went... i have little memories of what i was doing on stage...haha...i only remember sweating like a pig on stage... and slowing down too much...haha...
Indus is playing later... SUNDAY 29th July 9pm at Cineleisure! do come if you want to or happen to be in the area!
scene, templates, forms, structure, rules.....hmm....

jamming today was quite productive...but i dun really like my new idea... adam's one is quite killer... dam...more den a month of dry spell and i can't come up with shit more killer than the previous... gotta work on it!
for the record... i appreciate kevin matthew's comments..and also agree with him that my singing on the 2 songs on myspace was quite crap... however...i have to disagree with him about thom yorke's voice...it is killer and not lacking in quality... anyone who say's thom yorke's voice is weak should be slapped in the face! period!
only strong material can be accepted from on...until we become desperate for songs again! brainstorm brainstorm work work work! =) and its still dam hard to do somethign non rock!

I am done with POD 1...until i feel the need to tweak the mix again...its almost there...at least to my abilities... i can't think of many things left to tweak in it.. still its quite a happening song...yes..i am praising my own stuff... but pple interested pls do check it out at MY myspace which i think is labeled as MY SPACE on the link at the right... Pressure to Conform is the song's name...
Shao Chong lent me Ryuichi Sakamoto's Chasm CD...$61...i dam like it!! i will try and save up and find and buy all Ryuichi Sakamoto's electronica shit!! amazing stuff!!
Sometimes i wonder how good a musician i really am? Am i better than i think i am? Am i worse than i think i am? or is how good i think i am really accurate? Sometimes i feel good about what i do...sometimes i feel real crap...
I am starting to see statements like this in football articles...
"Yes it is very important. But it is still only a football match..not a matter of life and death"
i sort of agree with it... just like music...it is very important...but still only music...
