Thank you for your visit.
I can't believe it has been almost a year since I've updated this page.
Lots of significant changes in my life - like getting married! Too
bad I can't play at my own wedding. Scrambling like crazy and
funds are quite low, so trying to figure out everything. I'll be
resuming this project after the wedding. Lot's to catch up on.
SO...
EITHER you were led here by
my "Bridal March" video on YouTube. You can download a high
quality mp3 of it for free using this link. Unfortunately, I still
don't have it scored on paper, yet. My apologies...
OR, you found my new song "I Wanna Drive Just Like Jeremy Clarkson". :-)
Here's a short scratch track that I did before I took my studio down.
I can't wait to get it back up so I can finish it!

Let's Jam Project: Update on
Sola Mi video. Sequencing drum tracks & piano. Also adding a
C part to break the monotony of the song. Notice I'm still
using my 17 year old Commodore Amiga 3000 running Dr. T's KCS Level II
sequencer! There's nothing better!
I'm joined by my friends Ken Curtiss on the acoustic guitar and Jerby
Baello on the electric guitar. Ed Caliwag on the cams.
"Sola Mi" is essentially finished. I just need lyrics and a female
singer to complete the production. I'll be opening this song for
anyone who can add the lyrics. Check back later for more details.

Let's Jam video previews.

It's been a while since I've updated
this site. I'm designing the new Let's Jam Show websites
that will reflect the new format of Let's Jam that will be launched this
summer. We've been filming more footage for the new shows.
For now, you can visit my YouTube page for the latest Let's Jam video
previews.

An unplugged piano edition of an old song. This is the very first time
I sang this song with a piano. It has now become my favourite
piece to play (and sing and I'm not much for singing).
ABSTRACT Let’s
Jam! is an
infotainment/talk/quasi-reality/video magazine web show about
everything music & video productions. It’s basically a music
TV show about the music – what MTV should be.
The show was
conceptualised last Christmas week 2007. I made some proof of
concept videos last March 2008. The videos I’ve made thus far were
filmed “live”, unrehearsed and unscripted… I originally
intended to have a VLOG
feel to the show but I’d definitely want to have an intelligible,
TV-style format to the show. I have high ambitions for Let’s Jam!
and I hope to continue garnering hits and attract myriads of
audience.
