Introducing Flica - Malaysian Electricoacoustic band
Thursday, December 31st, 2009Today’s featured band, Flica, comes from KL, Malaysia.
Flica aka Eu Seng Seto is an unassuming KL-based electro-acoustic outfit. At first glance, this shy and introverted character doesn’t strike as the passionate-type. But a closer look reveals his depths of emotion, much like his music. The 26 year old artist began his musical odyssey in 2005 with his first electronica project as duo Muxu, with former Citizens of Ice-Cream guitarist, Huat Liang. Soon, Flica realised the need to explore his own style and in early 2007, he began solely crafting his music in the solitude of his bedroom.
If you like our very own Aspidistra Fly, you’ll love this mix of ambient sounds fusioned together with the serene sounds of organic electromusic.
Top recording engineers explain why music sounds awful
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009Every wondered why its hard to get good quality recording? Perhaps we’re concentrating too much on technology than the actual music.
It seems like the main problem comes from record company pressure to make perfect recordings. Vocalists’ off-pitch and out-of-time singing is tweaked with Auto-Tune; music-making is largely technology-based. That is, technology has replaced musical talent, and singers like Britney Spears were cited many times as to where it’s all headed. Not so musically talented, her music has to be patched together in the studio. There’s not a lot of there there.
