Harapan by Innersense

Last Saturday 22nd Sept 2007 at 9pm.....

We have the opportunity to work with a relatively new band...the Innersense.
the band is 4 months old, 5 young guys with their debut single Harapan.

Studio preparation started 3 days before only to be spoilt by 40 students from sunshine schools who came on Friday afternoon to record Hari Raya song for one of RTB Hari Raya programme....so after Sungkai at my place we continue to do the studio work...but before that a round of Gin Rummy ( a card game- an addiction @GPJ) with Rita (girl power!!) winning the round ( you have to check her counting most of the time..pembuyuk!! ...and when she started singing or talking rubbish..tanda tanda kan menangkap....)

Studio preparation work was fun apart from the painstaking Drum sound setting....really a pain in the neck....we discovered some of our cables rosak so Dillah, a soldering expert, come to the rescue..

The guys came around 9pm on Saturday...before recording begins we sat down and discuss the work flow so we can save time..it was the first time we listen to their song and we like it. The guys were quite shy in the beginning. It was only our third meeting, the previous two was very brief..but the next 2 hours or so we became good friends and feel confortable with eachother...
It was nice of them to treat us to a Nasi katok Mama for Sahur..we sat on the corridor eating and talking and went home at 3am. They will come back on Friday 28Sept @ 8pm to finish off the recording and we are looking forward to it. Perhaps another round of Gin Rummy again..

Hari Minggu Punya Cerita

This will be GPJ first original song and hopefully it will be released after Hari Raya.
A happy song with a catchy beat and lyrics that can make you smile...

We have been trying to do this for so many months only to find out that it wasn't easy to write and compose original song. The harder we try the harder it gets...but one piece of advice..when the inspiration come to your head, the first thing you have to DO is record it somewhere ( mobile phones etc...) else it will be gone from your head.

So we salute all the local songwriters who have composed their original songs..

And many thanks to Pelangi FM 91.4 for creating a slot and airing the local original songs..without you we aint going nowhere...and of course your Anugerah Pelangi which will give recognition to the local songwriters at the same time motivating them to continue producing original songs of highest quality.

I must say i am really really impressed and enjoy listening to the Local original composition..keep it up Guys and thanks a million Pelangi FM 91.4

I honestly believe with all the support from all Radio stations and sponsors, sooner or later we will be there at the Regional Music Awards such as AIM...etc Soon I hope

Keep on Playing...
Keep on Listening...
Keep on Rocking
