It was definately the best X'mas gifts that money can't by with medias sharing their album reviews on "The Oriental Moon" , not mentioning "The Oriental Moon" produced and released by my non profit art company Ko-nen Creative Ltd featuring local chinese ensemble "Ding Yi Music Comapany" performing the one and only Dr Liang Wern Fook's ( my 23 yrs friend ) Xin yao classics definately has lots of mix feelings . Looking at the shrinking cd industry we were able to top CD RAMA IRAS Asian Region Best Selling Album Chart on the 3rd weeks after released and 2 consecutive wks on 3rd position before it top the chart.
And gratitude to medias that share their sincere album reviews that helps to spread the news to the public about this worth listening local instrumental album among many others commercial albums released during the same period.
Look out for more album reviews by NTUC magazine NEXT, CityNews etc . For those that still wondering what to get this christmas for your friends, "The Oriental Moon" is definately one good choice.
今天的雨绵延不断,天气阴霾灰沉,却为我制造了恰好的氛围,让我心无旁婺的慢慢细品媒体朋友在早报分享的“华月心谣”的乐评及文章,心里却格外的沁暖。从“请你告诉她”以钢琴为主到“华月心谣”的结合传统华乐与流行元素,每一步都是一次挑战。“请你告诉她”在现金CD工业萎缩的环境,算是叫好叫座,也为“华月心谣”的制作打了一支强心针。但在制作的过程中,依然没有掉以轻心,很多时候还是需要沉住气去完成每一个细节。
终于,大半年的努力逐渐从媒体朋友们的正面报导与全岛CD RAMA 亚洲销售榜的稳健成绩得到回报。也似乎是年终最佳的安慰和音乐旅程中继续坚持的推动力。虽然距离“不经一番寒彻骨,焉知梅花扑鼻香”还有一段距离,但至少从第一张“请你告诉她”到第二张“华月心谣”的梁文福经典新谣音乐辑,再次印证当初以发扬新谣精神,为梁文福的经典作品赋予新生命和建立本地纯音乐演奏专辑品牌的理念已踏出稳健的第一步。
开始有朋友问及又或是建议第三张可以有什么音乐元素。本来和文福初次提到这一系列的音乐辑的概念时,就定下了以三张的目标为准。当时第三张的概念希望是更具试验性,并集合亚洲或国际音乐人的参与为大方向。但毕竟我的公司是间非盈利艺术公司,而不是资金雄厚的唱片公司。所以每走一步,都得谨慎经营。暂时我觉得首两张还有很多推广的空间,我希望有更多纯音乐专辑和支持新谣的朋友,真的每人都拥有一张,甚至拥有的知音人也能把音乐辑介绍给他们身边的朋友。
我期待这一系列音乐辑假以时日,可以成为新加坡具代表性的本地音乐辑品牌。到时具新加坡特色的商品,不止是精美食品,旅游景点,还有梁文福的经典新谣音乐辑!
