The Time has Come..

Today it's my turn to tell everyone that I'll be taking a break and will move forward. This will probably be my last post. I will keep this blog up so people can still check back on the archives.

I've met people from different music scene and enjoyed their music. I've met a few and had seen what kind of people they are. That's enough for me. I will have fun listening to music whatever I like not worrying about what to write in Overtuneph.

I'd like to send out my thanks to everyone who visits my blog, to those who  believed in me, to the local music scene hardcore punk, electronic music and indie pop scene. Keep on creating beautiful music, I will continue to check on your stuff when I get the chance.


See you later,
Sheng

For Fete Dela WSK 2011, SYNTHICIDE, a concept project/collective of synth players and enthusiasts started by NOEL COLOMA ACOSTA, teamed up with the creators of the Gangan Series to form the GANGAN SYNTH ENSEMBLE, the first ever improvisational synthesizer orchestra from the Philippines.
