Back to the retro-motion world.......

At some point, I find that it's quite hard to consume the fact that my life and those who are dear to me has changed a whole lot. Efry will no longer reside in USJ 6 since his parent's will be moving to Kedah/Penang by the end of this month, Wanie's now in UNIMAS, Wan Mok's still in ICU in Johore and Farah's celebrating her 15th birthday today with a flu. Other than that, I have no relative news about the others and their well-being. I've been away for almost 2 solid months.

Last night after my last entry me and Amir took a bend to Downtown for a drink. Raqib was there as well. Glad to see him all sober and composed. Oh, and thank you again Amir for supper. Sweet.

It rained today. Ijoy's giving me the creeps. He's proven yet again that he can predict the weather quite accurate. Could he be Kermit's infamous last apperentice? Nah. He does'nt make fart sounds like Beethoven's Symphony No.5. The vibe today somehow reminds me of London. All very grey-ish. Shortly after LAW, I was nearby when Nadia and Pa'e were discussing about him replacing her for the FAR Inter-Part Quiz since she has to attend to her medical needs. She then without no apparent reason, playfully bumped herself to me. Twice. It felt good...

If everything is according to plan, I'll be posting another album review sometime around next week in Friendster's Bulletin Board and here as well.

A little something on starsucker & the wide-white band:
Sad news for those who are an ardent fan of starsucker & the wide-white band's post-rock leanings and exploits. Since I'm currently on a one-man crusade and due to the lack of proper equiptments and gadgets, all of our sonic excursions will be placed on a temporary hiatus. This is also a very saddening announcement on our behalf since we're all exited to finalise the arrangements for our self-proclaimed masterpiece, See Die Un. But hopefully the hiatus will be a really, really brief one indeed. For now, I am making use of what I have at my disposal to the fullest extent. Concentrating solely on Ibunda-Pop and a newfound spark in IDM, progressing slow yet very positive, it is safe to claim that everyone concerning this collective is definitely in for a surprise.

Ibunda-Pop:   

4 months since the commencing of the once described as "Yesteryear's Present Twists Of Now" sound, it is now a prominent dimension in starsucker & the wide-white band's curent agenda. With the recent completion of Cempulan, an upbeat, heart-wrenching ode to 'anything in the name of grace', the template is finally constructed. With stronger lyrical content and better song arrangement than the previous effort, it is expected to cause a stir back home in good ol' US of J.

 
IDM (Incidental Digital Mockery): 

After a long break from pattern arrangement, I've decided to get busy again. A spontaneous accident (which is now christened as HardyThumpyDum. Digital mockery at its best) and a few others later, I'm now on full-force at manning the board, twisting knobs and flicking switches. Alternating frequently between FruityLoops3 and the newly-installed FruityLoopsStudio4, results so far have been very encouraging. Working relentlessly on a series of various 'earth-shattering' patterns with

FruityLoopsStudio4 at present.

 
I'm listening to Delta Goodrem's Lost Without You. It kept reminding me of Jehan...
