roger wang 的新玩具 [roger wang's new toy]



our guitar man has some exciting toy up his sleeve!

says roger wang: "I have commissioned a new guitar to be built for me by a local luthier. It's in the building process right now and should be completed by April. I would like to use this guitar for the recording. It's actually a special kind of guitar called the Harp Guitar. It's rare and with only a small group of guitarist around the world using it, but interest in the harp guitar is growing. It's actually a regular 6 string guitar with an extra 6 open bass strings on top. This will give me the bass notes that I would need to get a fuller sound. I believe it will help a lot with 2V1G's songs".

he adds further: "I think the harp guitar will work well for 2v1g .... I am already reaching the limits of what 6 strings can do. The limited style and similar chord progression in Chinese pop music makes it even harder to stay fresh and different. The extra bass strings will open up more possibilities for the arrangement without having to move away from the voice and 1 guitar format".

but roger, we hope your toy wouldn't look as big and ugly as the one in the video! smaller and sexier, please!

fans of 2v1g, you can expect a new sound in 2v1g's new album~!

歌在呼吸 #2 [song we cherish #2]



喜欢陈洁仪。喜欢梁文福。更喜欢《担心》。

从以前在民歌餐厅驻唱到今天重听这首歌,没有一次不是唱着唱着,自己就哭了起来。

这首歌,总是让我想起我的家人。想起他们的呵护,想起他们对我的爱和包容。

歌词仿佛在道着他们正在我背后,默默支持我做的一切。

陈洁仪没有再唱歌了。可惜。。。。。。

梁文福的《担心》让我在这样的夜晚,想起她这把感动的声音。

[winnie ho]

《担心》 词曲:梁文福
我的你 总是迟疑
连吻别 也要隔着玻璃
我的你 在我指缝间远离去

这城市太过拥挤 满座的爱情电影 我用力推不开回忆

担心 你的单心 怕你将我想起
在那微寒的夜 寂寞来寻 最好是摒住你的呼吸
担心 我的单心 你就这样放心
我却如此愿意 竟然愿意
用白天 用黑夜 用思念 拥着你

歌在呼吸 #1 [song we cherish #1]


[歌在呼吸]将会介绍一些感动过我们的歌曲。它也可能会成为 2v1g 或 jz8 收录的歌曲.

那些在我们患得患失的岁月里令我们热泪盈眶的歌。

我倒不怎样喜欢那英, 但这首[一个人的事]却是难得一听的好歌。

李思菘的歌,林夕的词。

第一次听倒不是那英的版本, 而是孙燕姿在电台清唱的版本。

燕姿介绍她自己喜欢的歌,说她恩师李思菘写给那英的[一个人的事]是她最喜爱的歌之一。 然后她就开始唱了。。我记得我听得全身鸡皮疙瘩, 连喉咙也像有一点硬件塞住了。。。

[你不愿意, 我都可以, 把这段情变成一个人的事]。。无奈, 怀疑, 失落, 种种的情感都尽在不言中。 林夕很绝的词。

一个人的事
以为你叫我
以为你说我
原来是我自己
呼吸的尾音太多
我以为你爱我
我相信你爱我
但是没有人
没有人证明我没错
我以为你找我
我以为你看我
原来只是日夜
在我的窗外擦身而过
我等待你陪我
其实你刚来过
你不要理我
爱情会让人不甘寂寞
走在一起好不容易
没伤害自己的勇气
只好相信不要怀疑
错觉比真实还美丽
走在一起好不容易
如果你觉得有问题
只要愿意我真可以
你不愿意我都可以
把这段情变成一个人的事

jz8 开麦啦 [jz8 on camera]





4th of feb 2009 - jz8 on camera!

we wanted to capture some photos of jz8 for marketing and promotion purposes as well as for MTX.

the photo session started early at 9am, at cher siang's house. the reason for the choice of venue is because cher siang has a beautiful kawai grand piano.

we hired two young and talented photographers for the task, one is a lomography expert too! despite their age, they looked professional and they took the task with meticulousness and style.

while cher siang is at his usual straight-n-serious self, lydia is all sassy and sexy, ready to show the best side of her infront of the camera. she brought a whole suitcase of clothes for the occasion! women, are they vain? ;-)

as they posed, jz8 also jammed along. cher siang's repertoire of chinese songs is amazing and he is so versatile to adapt to lydia's style. they are an impressive duo!

the photo session ended at 12 noon. we have yet to see the final outcome but here you get to see my photos, captured using my point-n-shoot camera!
