ASIAN BEAT BAND EXPERIENCE
Current mood: cheerful

These past few days have been really really rewarding. i have gained so much and im sure the band has gained alot too.

Winning the competition is really nothing compared to the journey ahead of us and getting there. i am thankful that god has opened doors for us nad im really glad that we are being coached.

coached? yes, Tai Suan has been contantly coaching us, teaching us the tricks and the “traps” of arranging music. its really a humbling experience. But nevertheless fruitful.

sometimes a person can write songs, get a band together, play tons of gigs ( speaking for myself ) and still not know about the fundamentals of band music. yes yes im speaking for myself. im glad we have a coach to help us.

this means only 1 thing. i gotta revise my unrecorded and new material so that it will be more effective. ive learnt alot on departing from teh usual “guiatr hero” type of arrangement, an arrangement that focussus more on “band highlights” rather than individual capabilty.

we also learnt about having hooks in a song, and how much a hook can pull something so complex together.

i guess i have way more to learn b4 i graduate as a mature musician. nvm. i will press on till i get there.

if we havent been coached then we wouldnt have been in the level taht we are today. i thank god and tai suan for that. it takes a great man to accumulate all the knowledge he has. but it takes an even GREATER MAN TO SHARE HIS WEALTH!

as for me, yes i will share my knowledge too. whats the point if i die one day and take all of it with me to the grave?
