People often have a preconception on what a home studio should look like. Spacious, sound proofing, glass partitions, and a mixer that runs from one end of the room to another. Just like the movies, or the MTV clips. I am a pragmatic perfectionist. That is to say, I aspire to attain perfection within my [...]

April 11th, 2009 1 Comment
After the morning Good Friday Mass, our drummer Wieke and I were talking about the popular video game “Guitar Hero” and the Stand Alone Drums that you can buy and play it like a pro. For our jamming session right after the Mass that Cynthia, Wieke , and I have attended, our guitarist Jason has brought [...]

Parallelism Between the Various Art Forms – And My Band Resumes Our Practice
February 16th, 2009 6 Comments
My life as such: our public performance in The Heeren – or rather the practice sessions leading to that one event – must have been draining to our band members. Three months we were in hiatus. It was the Christmas, the New Year, the Chinese New Year, and for me, much of my time has [...]

Weekend Drive-Up Jamming Session Inside PJ Hilton Hotel Room Ended Up Performing for 2 Long Lost Friends of Mine from My UK Days
October 3rd, 2008 28 Comments
I have yet another theory. Ordinary events don’t get stuck in my mind. Extraordinary events do. I love to seek out opportunities to do something crazy, if circumstances permit. To make my life a bit more memorable. For instance, that one time after my buddy Sam and I got our miserable laughable bonus, we impulsively headed [...]

Gearing Up For Our Band’s First Public Performance – No Eye Candy Live @ Heeren

OK. I shall let the pictures do the talking. Though we named our band as “No Eye Candy”, I am pretty sure the reality is far from what it literally means – with me as the exception of course. A big thanks to our ‘band manager’ Selrol for taking these great pictures. Enjoy! PS. For the new [...]

If people can blog about baking cookies a hundred and one times and still read fresh, let me see if I can write something fresh for our jamming journal. While waiting for our 2nd guest drummer to get back to us, we continue to explore the possibility and to learn from our 1st guest drummer Wieke. [...]

Ever since our 2nd drummer has decided to spend more time with his new baby - which our band No Eye Candy fully understand and support - for the last two months, we scrambled to look for guest drummers to jam with us, to explore the possibility. Guitarist Jason called in his friend for help and so did Bassist [...]
