Crossedwind frontact in Bamboo's gig Colchester


Bamboo Live in Colchester 2013


I wanted to share this video guys taken during our opening act with Bamboo's concert in Colchester last April 6, 2013.  It was an amazing night.  We had lunch with Bamboo and his band in Rovers Tye pub in Colchester. I had 5 oz rump steak.  It was delicious.  Then around 2 pm we headed to Colchester Leisure World for soundcheck.  The PA system was not yet fully setup because of health and safety paperworks and documentation, which was the cause of delay but finally it was done and they started setting up.  Bamboo's band was the first one to do their soundcheck then around half past six we had our chance to do the soundcheck. The crowd was already there and you can see their eagerness and excitement.  They were really supportive and I might add that they are really wild crowd.  I can see from the stage that they were drinking Red Horse.  I think the Brits loved it as well.  It was new to their taste and it is a strong beer. Some of them bought Red Horse for take home.

Bamboo is a very professional guy.  During the meet and greet session, he made sure that all their gears and CDs or photos are signed.  He asked them questions and made sure that all in queue will get the chance to meet and greet him.  Even when we were already starting with our set, he never stopped signing autographs and during our second song he passby and clapped his hands to us while we were playing and the crowd screamed.  He is a total performer.  Very energetic.  Trademark moves and his distinct vocals.  He really made the crowd of Colchester as well as Norwich really happy.  It was indeed a gig to remember.  Also after the show no matter how tired he was, he still gave it all to the fans not to mention even us who also waited for him outside the dressing room for photos and autograph signing.

Bamboo played loads of songs, it was really worth it.  He played their famous hit songs during Rivermaya days.  Hinahanap hanap kita, Ulan, Awit ng kabataan, Elesi, Kung ayaw mo huwag mo.  Then, he also shared to us and sang his new songs from the album No Water, No Moon.  I love the song "Questions."  I can't remember the rest of the songs from that album but all in all it was five new songs.  Then, the crowd got wild when he sang their hit songs during Bamboo days as a band like Probinsyana, Tatsulok, Hallelujah, Noypi.  The band did an encore which is 214 and Man in the mirror.

Enjoy some of the photos taken from the pub with Bamboo and his bandmates as well as our gig itself as the opening act in Colchester Leisure World.

My first recording experience

I went to Norwich, a couple days back with my band, Crossedwind, to record our original compositions.  We've been exchanging on the net about ideas and backing tracks on our songs.  We made use of our celphones, recording our raw materials... pretty rough record but we managed  Then, I keep doing the backing tracks so that my bandmates can rehearse the song whilst Im away because I live here in Southampton.  To cut the story short, we almost managed to practise and finalised our songs virtually. We have four songs to record, so I arrived in Norwich last May 22 at around 6 pm, went straight to Earth Studio to rehearse.  It was like an overnight practise and then due for recording the following day.  We struggled a little bit, because backing tracks was far from doing the real thing with my bandmates.  There were changes made from intro, on how the adlib would sound, up to how we'll do the ending of the songs and so forth.  Even after our rehe...

EnergyXT comes with a flashdrive

EnegyXT comes with a portable drive or what we call flash drive.   In there are necessary files to run EnergyXT to any computer from a desktop or a laptop or a netbook as long as you got access to USB. The files that we need to copy are: clips presets projects samples temp\ energyXT2.exe energyXT.ini lame.exe libaam.dll xt.lck     energyXT2 VST.dll      energyXT.ini And paste these files in the program files with your folder EnergyXT then create a desktop shortcut or copy the shortcut onto your desktop.   The more you update your EnergyXT the more files will be included like rexloader, etc. You can now hop from one computer to another always make sure to keep your flashdrive safe and secure. This is what Im doing now, from Dell Inspiron to Sony Vaio to my wife's HP mini.  Really portable and handy.
