FINAL CALL for "Songs-from-Dorms" Album Project

All Bands,

Roslan Aziz wrote - "Sure... will start meeting them next week and should be able to proceed shortly after."

This is the FINAL CALL for all bands that wish to participate in the recording of the "Songs From Dorms" album. Roslan is allocating an entire month of his time to record the album beginning 6th July, as after that, he has several other projects with other local artistes, as Tune Studios will soon be ready for operation.

"Songs From Dorms" will be the first project for Tune Studios (under the Air Asia Group umbrella), and Roslan expects the studio to be ready for operations by June 6th.

Roslan says this album will be difficult because he will have to deal with 10 bands and all songs to be selected & crammed into a double album. As such, I request all bands to give their full cooperation.

From my conversation with Roslan, every band member & their respective instruments will be "tested" in special rooms. Communication with the Control Room will be via TV screens and cameras.

Each instrument will be recorder on 1 track except the drums which will use 6 or 7 tracks. All 16 tracks will then be "overdubbed" for vocals (I don't understand this either). Vocals, he said will be the most difficult, and all singers will be "tested" for correct pitch (I think he was a judge in a singing competition before). Anyway, he said not to worry, he can make a "lousy band sound good on a record;" that's his job!

So, all bands interested to join us, please post the following info at "Boarding School" Album Registration and Info Center on Facebook, group email at songs-from-dorms@googlegroups.com, my email saifulibrahim@gmail.com or my handphone at +60192651966.

1. Your band name
2. Contact person for the band (preferably the band leader)
3. The (real) names of all your band members & alumni of which boarding school
4. Your 3 songs

I have tried very hard to contact the following bands but they have not responded. If anybody can help...

1. Ku You Band (MRSM Langkawi)
2. Band from MCKK
3. Band from SMSAH
4. Band SAS

Anyway, thank you for your cooperation & participation. See you in the studio!

Cikgu Teh Sharifuddin Abdullah (17/7/1950 - 1/6/2011)

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved former MRSM Kulim teacher, En. Teh Sharifuddin Abdullah. He passed away today after battling illness for almost 2 months.

He has, and always will be, a source of inspiration for all ex-MRSM students, and in particular ex-MRSM Kulim students, to see beyond themselves, and to give to others more than they would to themselves.

May Allah accept his good deeds and forgive his transgressions. Allahu magh'firlahu warhamhu...
