LAWL coming to a close...yay??!!

SPM SPM SPM go to hell !!! That piece of crap is finally out of our lives...okay its a little bit late to say that...I know there has been a lack of updates lately.... 2 months, to be specific. Thats a long time...enough to make a fortune if u work in mcdonalds...my apologies.

I know i promised that the lyrics will be posted up on freedom day (26 november) but i had to work on my next project, which will be out next year (2008 lar) so I won't touch on that yet. Zwee will be bringing the lyrics to my place tomorrow. Well, today la cos its already 9th december. No, i don't have the lyrics. I don't even know the lyrics to some of the songs haha. So zwee'll post 'em up when he arrives.

Jebat is currently busy with his Malaysian Philharmonics Youth Orchestra thingy so we won't be seeing him for some time. Visit this site http://www.mpyo.com.my/ for more info and tour dates if u wanna see him in action. He plays first violin and he also happens to be my violin teacher. Yes he IS LUCKY to have such a good student like me. Just kidding... i give him migrains every week.

I also promised "thank yous" so here goes. Thanks to: (in no particular order)

1. my fellow "lawl" partners jebat and zwee. Always punctual and dedicated, they gave their 100% throughout the whole process from the planning to the sales. Note that the lyrics of the songs were done by those two bunch of bananas. Jebat even composed a song himself (track 7 - life after we leave). They also helped out with the concept of this album. Thanks for doing such a good job and giving such great performances during "studio" sessions. Hope you had fun.


2. The consumers, mostly our classmates who have invested their hard saved money on our product. Thanks for making this project a success by placing your trust on us and supporting us. Without you, the three of us will be gaying around while listening to the album. With you, the more, the merrier, the gayer haha. Hope that the album will bring back sweet memories in years to come.


3. The bunch of belians who inspired the track "Norela remix", which was circulated even before the album was released.


4. The Yi Shen, the Kah Shin, the Ang and the Dom, who lent their voices in track 10 - speech.


5. Haw Yang for being our official salesman and using his skills to con people lol and lending his voice in track 4 - norela.


6. Zean who inspired the name "lawl" when i saw his msn name, kah shin who's pen became the front cover and the shoe for providing the front cover.
7. Sian Hoo, who introduced me to the world of audio engineering. Without him, none of this would exist. Including this site, this project and this idea.


8. Lastly, thanks to everyone else not mentioned above. Ngo apah, ngo amah...wan li's dog, Ranger for betraying me for yi shen.

One thing i noticed about this blog is that it lacks pictures. So, feast your eyes:

The "LAWL" album progress chart haha.

Zwee's favourite tool in life.

Then there's the amazing facts about the "LAWL" album project:

1. Every sound was recorded using an RM6 mic (which was surprisingly good).
2. "The cheater" was the track that took the longest time to mix.
3. The recording of "Philip the boy" did not involve any musical instruments. All sounds were produced using our mouths and hands.
4. The only musical instruments used were my classical guitar, jebat's acoustic guitar, a pelangi mod maths book and my form 1 paint brush which was used to hit the mod maths book. This means that no electric guitar, bass guitar or drums were used. Of course, softwares were used to apply effects to mimic the sounds of these instruments.
5. Jebat only came for 2 recording sessions, which was more than enough for him to nail his parts down nicely.
6. "Norela remix" was recorded before "Norela".
7. "Life after we leave" was the only track that involved only one of us, that is jebat. He wrote it, composed and played the guitar parts and sang the song.
8. The idea of this project started when Zwee and I were fooling around in my room.
9. I was working on the album cover during Zean's birthday party. AMAZING!

Oh yeah. I'm currently working on the official music video for the song "Life After We Leave" which will be our FIRST and ONLY official single being released from this album. In case some of you were wondering why i was filming during the two class parties, it is to be used to make this video. It is not for personal satisfaction lol. It was supposed to be released about a week ago, but I'm having a few problems with it right now, so it'll take much longer. Hopefully before prom night. So, look out for that one.

Yes, we're officially back in action like looney tunes back in action.

Philip The Boy

----------
Lyrics for our hit single! xoxo

* note this effing song is completely 100% BODY PARTS ONLY - no instruments or imported sounds.. (lanci betul =.=)

Philip The Boy

Philip the boy, the boy from sarawak,

he came to dj, he met with adrian mak,

he doesnt like the place, he think it really sucks,

in his hometown, he feed alot of ducks,

over here he has nothing except lam seng tuck,

everday he shout emak, emak, emak

but his mother never came, he's surrounded in the dark,

what's this song about? i dunno what the fuck..

----the end---

* i know the song abit blur but THATS LIFE LAR BITCH

jay chou sucks

-zweeho- posted this wooohoooo (tui tze)

LAWL album - Production PART TWO! and the darn finished product!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.....wtf??! star wars is supposed to be modern and yet it says "a long time ago??!" Is George Lucas a comedian or a film director??!!

So, after my hour-long stay at jebat's i realized i wasn't happy with the balance of volumes in tracks "the cheater", "5 batai" and "keep ur hands off my butt". The voice was too soft, drowned by the guitars and other sounds. So, i spent another couple of hours balancing those again and again...and again ! dammit! But those hours were worthwhile cos im really happy with the finished product. I listened to every detail till i was happy and gay like wendy. That's practically the summary of my job in this project...listen to it over n over till i get bored of it. I also noticed that the CD sounds best when played using speakers with big bass sounds such as using a sub-wolfer or stuff like that. So, if you can, use those for best pleasure.

Thus, the tracklist is as shown below...

1. Philip The Boy (opening, intro, wtv u wanna call it)


2. The Cheater


3. 5 Batai


4. Norela


5. Hey There Vanessa


6. Keep Your Hands Off My Butt


7. Life After We Leave


8. Farewell (closing, the end, scary movie 4)


9. Norela (remix)


10. Speech
    

We placed the two last tracks under the "BONUS" category so that ppl will fall for the impression that they are getting more than they paid for a.k.a. marketting gimmick no.1! So, yea! U can roughly tell which songs we chose to adapt from by the titles of the tracks. ROUGHLY?!! Its f**king obvious!

The burning of the CDs also took quite long cos yes, im a noob in that. But at least im learning right? RIGHT??! We decided to make only 30 copies so that it will be like one of those limited edition albums (yeah right!) so i invested in the physical raw materials to make just that number of copies.

The design of the cover n stuff was done by me while the rest were at Zean's surprise party...Sry Zean! Forgive me, m'lady! U know i'll give anything for YOU! It was pretty rushed, so wether u like it or not, u'll have to accept it as it is!!! Zwee, Jebat and I had a tele-conference through msn while they were at Zean's and we debated on the price of the CD.

Team A,consisting of me, had to defend the stand RM 15 per album/CD while Team B, consisting of the other two had to rebut and persuade me to settle for RM 12. Clearly, they were the underdog so i gave them chance to win. Nola..... i lost. They brought me back to the good side, away from the dark side where shadows lurk. Hence, lolz , the album will be sold at the price of RM 12! I expect a "YAY!"....

For the physical packaging, i wanted to get some free labour from some ppl in class to help out. Wan li invited us over for some open house thing and i took advantage of that moment....so there they were-Dom, Ethan, Cheri, Yi Shen, Hy, Zwee and Ang...working as hard as Santa's slaves (elves). I WISH!!! I'll be damned, if they even got off their butts!!! In the end, it was only Yi Shen, zwee n I who did the dirty job. But all was well cos the rest entertained us with their smelly armpits.

Well, there you have it! The summary of how this project was made. Though the original plan was to release it on 1st oct, we apologize cos up to now, it still hasn't reached ur ears yet. But u must understand that the delay was caused by the extra time needed to polish it so it will be a good experience for u guys. However, all 30 copies are now eagerly waiting to reach ur doorstep soon. We promise it will reach you somewhere near the end of this month. Ciaoz! and we hope you'll invest in this album cos u wont be dissapointed.
