Strawberry Milk Cold (The Pink One)

Here's my new song for 2015, an early wedding anniversary gift for my wife. She's my inspiration in making music.

The story behind this song is that when my little boy was a bit younger, he often asks for milk at night but the way he's saying it is so funny. He said "Can I have a strawberry milk cold, the pink one?" And each time, he goes to sleep when he got it.

So, I decided to make him a song. It took me a long time to finish the song. Did a backing track and even shared it to one of my good friend who's a drummer to collaborate with the song. Initially the plan is a funky jazz song. It didn't work out. So the backing track was stuck for quite a while.

Then, I bought an electro-acoustic and I thought it would be a nice instrumental for the song. Tried it but it didn't work out as well, although it gave me some nice ideas to finish the song.

One evening, I stayed late and did some experimental effects on the song and just keep doing it until almost or past midnight, and song was done. I immediately messaged my sister and asked her if she can make an album art cover for this song, which she did. I love the album art, it is so cute.

Another good thing that happened with this song is that I was about to send the song to a recording studio for mixing and mastering but due to lack of budget and so I googled some keywords about mastering songs, making it louder, etc. and it gave me a link on YouTube, and that's it. My lightbulb moment.

So as a way of thank you to all who supported me, and most especially to ArtistSignal, I am giving away this song for free. Just visit ArtistSignal and all you need to do is log in using your facebook account and one vote, then download this very relaxing and erotic song for free.

Again thank you so much!

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.

Subtle Culprits - new band to follow this 2015

I recently formed a group called Subtle Culprits. It was pure luck to meet all these awesome musicians. It all started with JoinMyBand. I was desperate for a vocalist and do some acoustic duo so I posted on JoinMyBand as well as Gumtree some ads that Im interested for a vocalist to collaborate with and that Im based in Romsey. There were people who showed interest i.e. emailed me and contacted me. There was one as well who came and visited for an audition. I really admired her voice but still didn't work out because it took me awhile to contact her back after that audition due to moving houses. Anyways, she did not reply or show any interest after that. So, I continued trying my luck. The first one to join was Dan. He got interested because we are from the same area (Romsey). So he messaged me and said that he is a songwriter and a musician. Can play guitar but much comfortable with the bass. So we arranged a meetup and chat, and we did. Exchanged some ideas and songs online...
