Flashback Sunday

April 10, 2011October 14, 2015 ·

I forget some of the songs I have covered sometimes,
and I only get reminded of it when my iPod hits them on shuffle mode.

Also, I am in the process of changing some of my gears and recording gadgets.
So, I’ll probably start making more as soon as that gets settled.

Anyway.
Here’s a Flashback of a song I covered a long time ago.
In 2007, as a matter of fact.
And I was reading my original post, and I saw that it was still when my dad used to
listen to my stuff and read my site, before he passed away.

This one is called
“Every Time I Look At You”
by KISS

Voice and Guitars by Ty Martell

A Classic KISS song.
I put a 12 string effect on my guitar
and improvised a Skid Row-esque lead on the solo.

New Song Added – I Am But A Small Voice

April 6, 2011October 14, 2015 · 1 Comment ·

You have no idea how excited I am
to finally finish this song project.

I would like to introduce to you, Chanel.
She is the lovely daughter of my good friend, Anne.

I asked, Anne a long time ago that I would like to cover a song, and have a young girl sing it.
She recommended Chanel, who is kind enough to agree with my little plan.

I am very proud of this collaboration and
this is definitely one of my favourites as well.

It’s an old song from the Philippines, popularized by Ms. Lea Salonga.

Here is
I Am But A Small Voice

Voice provided by – Chanel Alcaraz.
All instruments and backing voice by – Ty Martell.

Thank you so much to Chanel, Anne and their families for being nice and supportive of me.
I truly appreciate it.

New Feedback Form

March 30, 2011March 31, 2011 ·

Well, apparently the Feedback section hasn’t been working properly
so I had to change a couple of stuff and am trying a new plugin.
I seem to like this one with a little anti spamming feature.

Not that I get a lot of feedbacks from that page.
I do once in a while, that’s why I never found out that something was wrong with it.

So, let’s give this one a try.

Song Video Post – I’ll Always Love You

March 27, 2011March 27, 2011 ·

I wasn’t really planning on this one.
The one song I wanted to play didn’t really want to cooperate with me.
I played this one because it was on the next page of my songbook.

I know I promised not to do anymore videos for a while.
But what can I say?
Making these videos are not as time consuming.

Hopefully when I use Garageband for my song editing
it’ll be more easy and quick.
But I guess I have to get the iPad first huh?

Oh well.
This’ll do for now.

Here’s
I’ll Always Love You.
Music by Michael Johnson
Covered by – Yours Truly.

Earth Hour Commence

March 26, 2011 ·

I better post this now.
Earth hour will commence in 20 minutes here in my side of the world.

Turn your lights off.
Go outside.
Hug a tree.

OK, Fine!
Bring your phone!

Quote of the day

“I Forgive you because I Love You
and you don’t Love me.”

I love this guy!
I follow him on twitter too and I find myself looking forward to reading his quotes
or whatever he says.
Maybe I should start reading his books.

Can anyone recommend what book I should start with?

Music is Life.

March 14, 2011March 15, 2011 ·

One of the things I find hard to explain (mostly to myself),
is the definition of Music.

How can I define something so vastly unique?
Something that is different for every person.
Something that has to be experienced
to fully grasp its meaning.
