Woke up this morning and realized that i do have a blog... somewhere... and why am i not blogging?
It's not because of lack of anything interesting in my life. It's maybe because i don't know where my life is going at all.
I need to focus my time and energy. On what? i don't exactly know right now.
Maybe in a couple of days i would come up with a plan. That's what i need right now... A Plan!
since my last post... hmmm
I am now working as freelance recording engineer, yep, i'm no longer with Mixsonic.
I've been doing a lot of live guitar work ... notable of which was guitar player for Charice at her SMX concert.
Shorty, bless her, has passed on.
Now that's truly sad.

i'm surely be spending time alone today since the kids are going out.
I guess it's just me with the gang... shorty, maddox and mishka

I was asked to play guitars for RJ Jacinto's Supersession concert held last Oct 25 at the A venue in Makati which was a stones throw away from my old workplace.
Apparently they wanted me to play guitars on a song i recorded in the nineties... It's a song done by one of my mentors... Sampaguita on a song called " Nosi Balasi ". I actually recorded and mixed that song and as an added bonus i got to play guitars on it as well.
It was after all a portion dedicated to Sampaguita in celebration of the 45th anniversary of DZRJ.
I also learned that two of my old co workers had moved on... namely Howlin Dave and Emil Quinto aka as Charlie Brown. Old rockers don't really die they just sort of fade away.
It was quite a nostalgic night since Pepe Smith was there as well as Chikoy Pura of the Jerks... Joey Puyat and Johnny Alegre whom i really admire as guitar players. The youngbloods were also there Cowboy Santos who happens to be Sampaguitas son was there and we got to play together on the Sampaguita set. Daniel Crisologo was there, another amazing guitar player who reminds me of Joe Satriani. Tirso Ripoll, Kakoy Legaspi were some of the younger guitar players there.... Bassists like Louie Talan and Dondi Ledesma and Simon Tan were there... drummers Zach Lucero and Wendell of Pupil was there. It really was a fun evening, more so for me since i hardly go out to do live work. I'm always in the studio either recording or doing arrangements for artists on their respective albums. I have gone a long way since the time i was starting out as a recording engineer on RJ's studios in Makati. I never did dream about being famous since all i wanted was to be able to work on songs that will be remembered long after i am gone. I've done quite a few really... but i still think i can do a couple of songs more... before i too join my other rocker friends in that great rock concert in Heaven. I'll be posting more pics from the concert on my next post since most of the pics were taken with someone else's cam. Really hard to take pictures when you're on stage. I hear the show is going to be shown on Jack Tv on cable. Hope someone tapes it and post it on youtube... hahaha

The last quarter of the year is at hand and i'm almost done with my recording chores...
After the Gary V tribute album... i'm now in the middle of production for "Pokwang"! Yes, the hilarious co host of noontime show Wow Wow Wii. It's an easy album to do since all we need to do is be funny, and with Pokwang around the laughter never ends. I also did an arrangement for the Streetboys. Yes, they've decided to sing and dance.
I'm also doing an arrangement for the theme song of the upcoming Vhong Navarro and Toni Gonzaga movie. I also have arrangements for the PDA album ... hehe at the rate i'm going i might actually be nominated for best arrangements for next years Awit Awards. Now that's hilarious...
Oh and the really cool thing ...
I've been asked to play guitars for the anniversary of Pinoy Rock... sponsored by RJ Jacinto.
Yes i did go back to the building i used to work in when i was just started out recording but i couldn't bring myself to actually going up and seeing the studio and the premises i used to haunt.
Don't ask me why though.
I will be playing and i'm having rehearsal sometime next week
More about that when i do get the time to sit down and blog
:-)
