Selamat Hari Abah

Salam semua. Sempena Hari Bapa ini, aku ingin dedikasikan satu artikel mengenai pengaruh abah dalam penghasilan karyaku.

Dari kecil lagi (bayi), abahku sudah suka memasang vinyl dan kaset lagu-lagu Rainbow dan Deep Purple. Takisah la. Asalkan mesti ada Ritchie Blackmore. Lebih kepada rock zaman 70-an dan 80-an. Aku masa itu taklah faham sangat, tapi aku mula terangsang dengar bunyi distortion gitar.

Pastu masa lewat 80-an, abahku meminati rockapak melayu. Paling dia suka Wings. Aku pun masa itu baru akil baligh mula minat sekali. Pastu aku berangan nak main gitar utama dalam Band Rock.

Pada tahun 1991 (aku 12 tahun), abahku membelikan gitar kayu ku yang pertama di Ampang Park. Brand Fair Lady. RM120.

Sebelum itu lagi abah aku dah belikan organ 80-an, yang macam John Lord punya. Aku mula-mula tak lah minat nak main. Tapi lepas belajar gitar, baru terasa nak belajar.

Tapi itu ajelah instrument abah aku belikan.

Pada mulanya abah aku nampak macam bersungguh nak support aku main muzik. Tapi lepas aku dah pandai main & mula ada band, dia pun dah jadi macam malas nak bersungguh.

Btw abah aku ni memang pandai main muzik jugak.

Lepas itu abah aku dah macam marah-marah bila aku kerap main muzik. Yang paling aku ingat :

• dia larang aku gi jamming lepas aku jam dengan senior
• dia marah aku main gitar subuh2 (lepas solat subuh la)
• dia dah stop main muzik depan aku

Aku masa itu agak terkesan. Sebab aku ingatkan dia akan bangga. Tapi dia buat dek aje.

Sampailah satu hari itu aku main keybord lagu "Runaway", baru dia puji sikit. Itu pun dia cuma cakap kat mak aku.

Itupun aku dah happy.

Haha. Emo la aku ni.

Tapi aku tau darah muzik ni dari abah aku. Terimakasih abah sebab darah ni.

Selamat Hari Abah, abah.

Music Producer

I always love to produce music. Producing music includes composition, arrangement, recording, instrumentation, mixing and mastering.

The producer can involve one or more of the process above. OR NONE at all. 

Truly, the REAL work of a producer is to 'oversee' the whole project/song, at a larger scale.

In my case, my passion mostly on composition & arrangement, and a bit of instrumentation (as i can play guitar, bass & keyboard). The engineering process, such as recording, mixing and mastering definitely are not my forte (including singing hehe).

It seems that I enjoying more in the creative process of song production.

Journalism

I never have a thought, or having interest in journalism. I don't like writing, and not good at it. But one thing that never fail to catch my attention : an interview with successful/establish people.

I always run-out of idea to write in my blog (www.sajakiri.com), and doing interview seems easy and interesting.

Wise man said "it's not what U do, but with WHO U do". It's a great wisdom. Our friend reflect our inner self. Successful people loves to be friend with another successful people too.

So, I want to be successful, so i gotta find them. And learn from them.

They are the people who 'been there, done there' it before. There is abundance of wisdom in their experience. 

And I would love to hear live from them.
