The Making of An Album Launch
Can't really describe my feelings at the moment. I'm scared, excited, delighted, sense of fulfilment all rolled into one big pile.....kind of 'rojak'....hahaha But I could not help thinking that whatever efforts I have put thus far, hinges on the outcome of this album launch. Just yesterday, I was in a huge dilemma. The venue that I was supposed to hold the album launch put in a request that I wasn't able to accept and just like that, my album launch was so close to being cancelled or postponed. Thanks to everyone especially Zoul, Rafiz, Azli, Kak Ifah, Niezza for your understanding and efforts to make sure the show will go on! Thus my album launch will still be scheduled on the 1st of September, 3pm, but at a new venue: Hjh Esah's Cafe @ No 62 , Bussorah Street nearby Masjid Sultan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Plans and preparations had otherwise been great. The CDs and posters had been printed. Sound and music equipments available for use. Stagehands and crews are fit....hehe.....Merbuk Platoon which will be running the event, spearheaded by Niezza, Ays, Seema & Irfa, are raring to go! My friends and I have tried our very best to ensure that everyone invited had been informed of the change in venue. Now I'm just hoping for the best and my launch will be a success. With your support and presence.....I'm sure it will be!!Labels: zaibaktian

The Master CD
My heartfelt thanks to Zul and Azli Sadan for being my ears during the mastering session in KL.! Today heard the master cd for the 1st time and I really am delighted. Even though I was sure I could have done a better job given more time, preparation and resources, I must say at this point of time I had done the best I could with the means available to me. The cd mastering process had certainly added gloss over the tracks in this album. It may not be clear to inexperienced ears but I'm glad to say it sounds way better now than previously. The songs I had chosen on this album are dear to me....personal accounts of my journey of love, family, friendship and faith. I do not have a clear favourite song in this album but I'm sure my friends and fans will have something to say about that.....Labels: zaibaktian

Post Production
Exhausted and relieved....Words to describe the state I'm in after an eventful last few days. Exhausted physically and mentally. I have spent the last 2 weeks doing post production works on my songs and album. Editing, mixing and decision making were just some of the processes I had undertaken and it was tough work.....tougher than I had expected initially. Relieved cos as of today, I had finally achieved a milestone in my own music journey. At last , I had given birth to my own debut album. This final product will be what I would have, to show for all the efforts and hardwork spent.....blood and sweat I had shed. Whatever the outcome at the end of all this, my gut feeling is it had been worth it!! It's now time to add the final piece to the puzzle. The album's will be off to Kuala Lumpur to be mastered at ProDG Studios by Faisal Ghazali. My fingers' crossed that by the end of this mastering session, I would have a great product in my hands and be able to share the album with you guys!Labels: zaibaktian
