Hello all
Thk you Chor Yean for uploading the video and the syf 2007 songs. That was indeed an awesome display of sheer musicianship by the angklunites, and also the feel that were injected into the songs can be felt thruout the hall.
To the current members, this is wat i meant when i said that music with feel will generate an unseen force of energy. Thats the reason why i emphasised on feel. Stir the feeling of listeners with this energy,move them, communicate with them..u hv the power to touch everyone's heart with ur music. Music is the most powerful non-violent weapon since ancient time..people go to war to the beat of the drum, to give them that extra energy and fighting spirit..music is also the food of love..music is an unspoken universal language that can inspire the mind and touch the heart.
So people, be one with ur instrument, be one with ur songs..understand them, play with feel..put aside ur feeling of akwardness and shyness, express urself..be a true artist and i promise you, the songs that u play will jump out and reach into everyone's heart.
I hv told Jocelyn the story behind Carousel and Zafar...put urself in the songs and play with ur heart.
Last but not least thk u Fuad, for the speech and insight of NJC's angklung this morning..also to all seniors for the support. Once an angklunite will forever be an angklunite. I never regretted not even once since 2005 my time with NJC angklung.
