I should stop blogging when soooo sleepy

I recently typed this:It's nice to know that there are still people  into the overall sound not just because your famous. 

It woke me up cuz I meant to say that it's nice to know there are still people dedicated to the craft and sound of the style they're into may it be house or whatever, regardless how obscure and not just because it's the most famous tune out there at the moment and someone keeps on requesting it in every club he goes to.

I was literally seein double when i typed my last entry that the thoughts sounded weird when I went over it after sending 

My apologies.

The Current State of The Local Club Scene?

I've been talkin to a friend and I was surprised to know that mashups rule the dancefloors these days and the ALREADY small population of clubbers shrank in number.

The closing down of clubs is something that happens naturally but it's more surprising to see how what we once could play freely would have a different crowd or some crowds who would rather go with mainstream.

It's nice to know that there are still people into the overall sound not just because your famous.

I'm too sleepy to type. Til hen.

Good morning! .

The Luxury I Don't Have

I wish I had the luxury of most signed artists... Manager, their own sound engineers, marketing crew, etc.

I don't.

What I have is myself and all those roles crammed into one person who I become if needed at certain times. I can't say I'm a fulltime musician. Right now I am all of the above and as much as I enjoy doing it, I am spreading myself too thin and I know that. But as an independent electronic artist, I have to. I don't have the funding to JUST BE an artist but to play roles.

I make music then promote it. I create my website and update it. I mix down my album and produce it. I then plan launches and execute it. Add the design work I have to do for promo merchandises like shirts, pins, etc.

I'm not complaining. I just feel that I could be more productive and out there If I did have the help from people.

It's hard i tell you. Really hard.

Ps. If you know anyone willing to help or if you want to, feel free to contact me. I'd appreciate it a lot. :)

A Long Productive Day with a Nice Ending

Had a bunch of stuff listed to do outside but due to my tummy illness I decided to stay home and finally finish my site update and the monthly newsletter. It was a bit late since I got busy preparing for the launch but I'm just glad it's done. I just posted about the newsletter so just click on that and enjoy. I spent the whole day updating and to close it, I received my copy of Logic Studio. I've always wanted to get a copy and God's blessed me with a great deal for it. I had to get one for my band's album and for work stuff anyway.

So there... Another day. I'm releasing my latest, Manila Electronica, end of November :)

Cy

Check out our monthly newsletter as I talk about the launch, getting on Itunes, Depeche Mode's influence, my fave Fatboy Slim tune, and advice on getting content onto your site/blog for free.

Almost Forgot

I Almost dozed off without my entry for the day.

Well, I need to work on my site and newsletter update cuz I owe it to
everyone. I mentioned earlier in Twitter how I tend to be irked a the
fact I haven't updated the site whereas during the other site version,
I hardle updated at all. I aim to a least update once and keep the
newsletter coming monthly as well as with th daily blogs.

For the silverlisters on ygroups, don't worry, I just included you
guys in this update since I'm reposting that I'm on iTunes now as well
and you can follow me on Twitter.com/silverfilter

I just spent my last hours awake defragmenting my computer and I'd
suggest you do that weekly or monthly a least to keep your computer
system running smoothly and quickly.

That's It for now. I hope I can do some updates by Tom. And if you're
gear hunting, do check out the stuff I'm letting go of ;)

God bless!

Takin Over The World

Today I finally found out that I am now on iTunes, napster, and Amazon.com
. There are 2 more digital stores but they haven't seem to have fixed
Their catalog yet. Honestly, I'm good with iTunes and amazon and both
would do. All the rest are just bonuses for me.

So now I'm on iTunes. So what?! Now comes the hard work of promoting
and um, promoting more just to get the word out. I have a ton of
things to do now and gettin on iTunes makes it a task and at the same
time changes the ballgame for the better. I have fix the site and
prepare for a nice monthly update. Both updates should integrate the
iTunes link nicely.

Unfortunately, for Philippine buyers, Amazon may be the only solution
since iTunes music isn't supported in the philipines at the time of
writing, which is of course not a bad thing cuz both are online
anyway. I don't see any big difference in what you'll get on terms of
my music.

Right now, I have Devotion on those stores and the back catalog can
easily be availed on the buy section of the official site. My dance
stuff will be coming out soon so I'll be working on getting myself on
Beatport this time.

That's it for now. 2nd day of blogging back!

God bless and do check out the album and spread the word to your
friends around the globe. Just share the link!

Thanks again. See ya, Tomorrow!

Always apologizing.

I must admit that I always tend to fail at updating my blog and that makes me so bad at it. I really do want to but I might not have gotten the habit down good. I really hope I could change that. I owe tons of updates and it really is way delayed. But instead of a run down of the things missed, let's just pick up from today. Maybe a few flashbacks here and there but let's look forward.

My body's aching as I write this and for some strange reason, I feel a bit sick. But I have two meetings tonight...
I'm writing a school hymn which is pretty exciting and the 2nd meeting is for my gig with Funkavy in Boracay for Halloween. It's gonna be quite different and interesting so stay tuned. Free vacation is very welcome. Hehe

That's it for now. More to come.

God bless!
