SENYAP @ Sangria, 20th Feb 2011

confident,sempoi yet thick with kedah mother tongue,the voc from 'mc feel' exudes the confidence of real performer.

Although just a novice reggae band, Dear Haidar performance manage to pull the crowd to the front row.The only band who seems to get lucky that night.

At 9pm Sangria seems to be a lil quite on Sunday night, although it was supposed to be a home night for most of us due to morning class for students or working day those who work,but instead we decided to lepak and support our friends who are performing at Music Addicted@Sangria, a small gig event,organised by Senyap the ultimate underground movement.

My expectation would just,ready to be suprised and perhaps to discover, among many lines up tonight, i am hoping there might be one or two potential bands that offer something different on stage.

The bands who were performing that night would be 'the overtime','box for letters','revellers','reaxi','dear haidar','the liberated'and 'mc feel'. Sitting not too far away from the stage i could just feel the heart thumping nervousness of the vocalist performing, the challenge of performing in somewhat moderate numbers of audience mostly consist of the other bands and their friends, a friendly atmosphere that should add up advantage to most of them when the crowds are mostly supportive friends and families unfortunately other than the band 'dear haidar' and 'mc feel' other bands were drown in their nervousness.

Its also fun an overwhelming to watch a novice band like 'box of letters' from klang that consist of few school kids or last year spm candidates to perform at such venue,providing them at least somewhat a platform to share their talents. Its quite a sight to see them performing with full passion with parents support, im sure they will polish up and improve their performance with a better songs in future.

Thumbs up for Senyap for offering a platform to the bands, giving them the require space to enable them to make that baby steps without such support,perhaps i wouldnt discover such a potential band like 'mc feel'.Hopefully more bands from various genre will have the similar opportunity in future.

One thing that i think they need to improve for future dates would be just to clarify the entrance require the visitor to make a minimal drink purhase of RM7(soft drink) to enter the venue. Cause honestly its rather annoying to have the entrance guard keep telling everyone to "dont forget to buy your drinks!" again and again. Just mention or simply have a cover charge note of RM7 on the flyer, at least those the audience esp those who are still studying at least can spare RM7 before coming to the venue.

SOUND SYSTEM KHAS UNTUK MASJID

Sound system untuk masjid tentunya tidak sama untuk kegunaan di padang atau di rumah kenduri. Sound system di masjid tentunya perlu lebih sesuai kerana ia sepenuhnya bergantung kepada kemerduan suara imam semata-mata tanpa iringan alunan muzik, penyanyi latar dan sebagainya. Apabila solat di Masjid Nabawi atau Masjidil Haram, terasa sentuhan suara imam terus masuk ke telinga dan bergelombang dalam minda dan ruh jemaah.

Di mana-mana masjid di Malaysia, kita dapati sound system sentiasa bermasalah. Tidak ramai yang tahu menggunakan (mengendalikan) PA system yang dibekalkan. Biarpun kosnya amat tinggi, tetapi teknologi canggih tidak boleh digunakan sebaiknya kerana kemahiran kepenggunaan tiada (atau amat terbatas). Perkara ini perlu diberi penekanan kepada kita, khasnya kepada imam dan bilal yang sering kali berurusan dengan PA System.

Tiba masanya kita perlu sediakan latihan pengendalian PA system kepada imam dan bilal agar mereka sendiri tahu bagaimana hendak menggunakannya dengan baik..


Untuk khidmat konsultansi tentang sistem dan cara pengendalian yang bersesuaian sila hubungi

Pen song with Yuna via "Yuna Inspired"

Touched by 650,000-strong fans that she has on Facebook, Yuna is inviting her fans to pen a new song with her via her online show, Yuna Inspired.

Yuna is set to launch her international music career in US

"It's a fun project with my fans," enthuses the amazingly gifted folk-pop singer/songwriter. "Each week, I'm going to post a verse from my yet-to-be-completed new track and fans will have to fill in the missing lyrics."

Winners of the weekly challenge will join Yuna at a secret gig in KL in April.

"It's all about sharing creativity with my fans," she adds. "It's quite meaningful to add a verse to a song. It's nice use of the Internet too."

Yuna will handpick the best 20 lines. The most creative of the lot will walk away with her personally autographed guitar and be featured in her music video.

Endorsed by DiGi, Canon, MAS and Astro Hitz, the 24-webisode documentary also chronicles her musical journey , spanning across KL, London and New York.

"This is very exciting for me. I used to be a shy girl. It was hard for me to let go of my feelings - I wasn't even willing to tell people where I came from! But now, I've gotten more comfortable and confident with myself. I really like to share things with my fans, starting with my music."

Teased if her "special friend", singer/musician/TV host Qi will guest on the programme, Yuna says coyly, "Maybe. He's a good musician and a close pal."

Directed by Jojo Struys, Yuna Inspired will debut online on Feb 14. The first episode will also be aired on Astro Hitz (Channel 705) on Feb 27.
