Happy Birthday Songcraft!

Another memorable Songcraft session!

Tonight, we celebrated the 2nd anniversary of the set up of Songcraft (official date 27th April - 1st session) and we were all cozying up at Ear Shot Cafe @ The Arts House. The night began with all of us presenting "emo" slow songs, fitting the ambience of the place. Old & new songs were played and many heartfelt ones.

It ended with us cutting the cake and singing Happy Birthday (this year we managed to play the song properly...haha...) and it was the actual day of D'fusion's 1st anniversary! So it was a double celebration. There was a great jamming session thereafter.

I felt in high spirits for the whole day probably because I was looking forward to it and it was great to catch up with these friends of mine, some whom I've not seen for 2 months or more.

Thanks Songcraft for the great times we had so far & I pray that there are more to come. You're like family!

Songcraft session

It has been 2 months since my last Songcraft and I was already beginning to miss it earlier this month. Maybe partly because we haven't met up since, and have been busy at work, overseas for work trip, that I needed some time off. And I always love Songcraft sessions coz I give myself an "excuse" to take leave from work and do what I like and hang out with people I like. :)

Anyway, it was a cozy Songcraft session today, with about 10 people this month. Heard last month was overwhelming due to the new Facebook group set up, which gave little time for everyone to share something. So this month, everything was low-key and it was really good as we could have more time for chatting, go at a more relaxed pace and ended off with a mini jam session.

We had some newcomers and I think it was good that it was a small group as they were a little shy. But in the end, I think they shared more songs than they intended to. :P
I also shared a song "Will You Sing Again" which was done about 2 months ago and posted up in an earlier entry.

Of course, to end it all off, we went to our usual after-Songcraft hangout at Coffee Club.

1st Garageband Meetup

We had our 1st GarageBand (GB) meetup last night at SUNTEC's McCafe.

At first, we didn't know who or if anyone would turn up, but in all, 6 of us did.

It was a fruitful session to me, seeing that I'm still very "blur" about the features & functionality of GB. Learnt some new stuff...hope I remember them by the time I return from my work trip! Haha...it felt like Ivan was giving 1 of his workshop lectures. But there were some exchanges of tips, which was good.

The only problem was that McCafe was very noisy so it was a bit hard to hear the tracks & samples clearly. Probably next time we can book a venue somewhere (library?) or go to a quieter cafe to have our meetup.
