Songs From Dorms album to launch on August 15, 2013!

After much anticipation, the Songs From Dorms album will launch on August 15, 2013.

The album, recorded by bands featuring former boarding school students, is aimed at raising funds for the construction of Asrama RAYYAJ in Tawau, Sabah. Tune Studios CEO, acclaimed music producer Roslan Aziz says that the entire proceeds from the sale of the album will go towards the charity. Preliminary discussions have set the price at RM30 per piece. While some might feel it pricey, the intention is to benefit those who are less fortunate.

Below is a sneak peek at the album cover and inlay.

The recordings took place at Tune Studios at Harbour Place in Klang over a period of several months starting at the end 2011. This was followed by the mixing process to ensure the best product would be showcased. Below are some photos from the recording process, courtesy of Zulkifli Jaafar Sidek, ex-Kuatagh.

Progress Pictures as of June 2013

As at end-June 2013, Asrama RAYYAJ is 85% complete. 

The photos below show the current state of construction with the project expected to be completed by year-end. This would mean that by the beginning of the 2014 school year, the facility will be able to start accepting residents.

Our thanks go to the team at Sabah Credit Corporation for project managing the construction and ensuring that Asrama RAYYAJ will be ready by year-end!
