Update on Asrama Rayyaj song-from-Dorms Album Project‏

To all bands,

My apologies for the long delay in getting the latest updates for you. I was finally able to meet up with Roslan Aziz last night (photo below).


The points of our discussion were as follows:
1. Since Roslan Aziz will be the producer of the "Songs for Dorms" album, the end-product will carry his name & reputation as a one of the legendary producers in the country. He will evaluate each & every band and will call the shots.
2. Roslan requires the contact number of each band's leader and will contact each leader himself. He will call each band to meet him for briefing & assessment individually.
3. Each band will have to practice & record at Tune Studios at Harbour Place, Klang for a minimum number of hours which will be determined later. (Tune Studios is a subsidiary of the Air Asia Airline Group)
4. Each band is limited to 3 songs only. However, not all songs will make it to the album.
5. Extra charges will apply if video recording via personal video camera or handphone is done in the studio.
6. Each bandmember is encouraged to bring their own instrument. However, instruments are available at the studio.
7. After the "Assesment Period" starting from Monday 6th June, Roslan Aziz will set the Timeline & Practice/Recording Schedule which all bands will have to adhere to.
8. Recording will be done by a 16 track recording into a 2 track soundtrack and vocals will be by overdub (whatever that means).
So guys, I urgently need the following information. Please post it at "Boarding School" Album Registration and Info Center on Facebook, group email at songs-from-dorms@googlegroups.com, my email at saifulibrahim@gmail.com or sms to my handphone at +60192651966.
  1. Your band name
  2. Your band leader's contact number.
  3. The (real) names of all your band members.
  4. Your 3 songs.
The above information will be printed on the album cover. Your urgent response is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
