Just when it’s almost over for Demolee, Electronica Manila releases its second compilation “Electronica Manila: Two”, an online compilation album featuring various local electronica artists such as Emorej, Mighty Dax, SPiNTECH, Diego Mapa to name a few.

The album features my song that I wrote two to three years ago more or less.  It’s called “Deviation”.  Apart from my usual lush-pads-laden-ambient-chillout songs, this one’s very different.  Download, listen, and find out how I turned away from my usual songs.

WATARI’S MACHINE: WEBSITE LAUNCH

Announcing the launch of my favorite manila based synthpop group WATARI’s MACHINE!  Formed by my friend Nono Acosta (a.k.a Names Are For Tombstones).

“Watari’s Machine was originally random live collaborations between Noel Acosta and Boy Ramos (of The Thought) who both are members of the Philippine music community Electronica Manila, Acosta decided to make it an entirely new music project. Named after a song from Acosta’s main music project Names Are For Tombstones (NAFT), Watari’s Machine became official during the latter half of 2005. Acosta imagined it to be an antithesis of NAFT incorporating an 80s-inspired and more dance-oriented synthpop/electropop sound.” - WM Biography (From the site)

I’ve had the chance to remix WM’s song Watari’s Machine before, guess I’ll upload it here on my next post!

Alessandra de Rossi what can I say?  I’m speechless.  I mean I see her on the TV all the time, I admire her acting, but to hear her sing?  Sing like this?  Sing my favorite genre!??!  Man…she’s awesome.  I haven’t gotten all the right information yet but she may have released, or may be releasing an album called Adrift this year! So far I’ve only been able to hear three of her songs, Disconcerting Ride, Sailing (Christopher Cross cover), Make it Better, all in youtube.  She sounds like Bliss, whispery, sultry voice, ambient music.  Oh well, if you know of any details about her album, please inform me, I am now a fan.
