Sun of the Dawn Project Closed

I hate to bring this sad news. :(

But Sun of the Dawn  project will be close down and there will be no future effort done for this brand name.

It's a great start in 2012 but it seems I don't really plan the steps carefully and it's painfully long time and it's already almost the end of 2015.

It's been f**king three years and I really don't have the luck to find and get things going on with this project.

So, I want to take a step back and the feeling of peace that I deserves.

All Hope Is Not Lost

However, I will still maintain this website and from time to time update it about good news that I have from related project such as the VzerMY project where we now on our way to published our second albums.

Momoka and Yuka, I'm sorry to let you girls died.

But since both of you are immortal anyways, when the time is right, I will bring you two back in my other project.

Thank you for all the support all of you give to me throughout these past days.

It's Been More Than 2 Years!

It have been 2 years, 11 months and 7 days since my last post here on Sun of the Dawn blog and many things have change.

Even some people that I hold dear have "gone". :cry:

But I also met new people and now we have game project for Sun of the Dawn and still on going since I'm a "no budget game developer".

From 2000 fans, we have more than 3000 now.

Thank you again for your support. :D

We also have dedicated Twitter account for Sun of the Dawn now.

Just follow us at @SunoftheDawn on Twitter.

But I'm wondering, what kind of social website do you guys use? So I can make an account there too to let you guys have updates about Sun of the Dawn comfortably. :)

Last but not least, I'll post more updates about our music and our game soon. I might even introduce you our team if they don't mind. :)

Here some sneak peek about what's happening. ;)

New Website Design

We have the new website design up and online. The old website design is cool, but it's too cool that the design overwhelmed the message that we want to deliver to our dear visitors.

We hope with this new cleaner design, it's more easier to navigate to find our content. Please don't stop spread the words about us. Tell to everyone that you know, about Sun of the Dawn.  :happy:

First Single - Sun of the Dawn

[caption id="attachment_147" align="aligncenter" width="510"] First Single - I'm Waiting For You[/caption]

So here's The 90% Complete Baked Song!

Guys, I'm so glad to let you listen to this demo.



I have enable downloads for this tracks. Feel free to download it (Arrow icon on the player) give it to your friends, to your family or just anyone you meet on the street. As long as they like Rock music, let them hear it! \m/

I'm Waiting For You - With Refined Drums, Bass Line and Rhythm Guitar

Finally, I come to the point of satisfaction where the drums, bass line and the rhythm guitar have been refined. This is how they will sound in final version.



Now, after this I'll add distortion guitar. If not, how can I even call this song a pop ROCK. \m/

But perhaps before that a piano, electric piano and grand piano. That will sound good and make the song rich with sound and harmony.

After that, perhaps some strings ensemble. That will sound good too. Let's hope for an eargasm!

Then lastly, touch up the vocal. Yeah, need to add the back-up singer, harmony, soprano, alto, tenor (Maybe not!). My goal is eargasm!

... and ROCK! \m/

So let's ROCK! \m/

Draft: I'm Waiting For You

I guess I just go on making the basic vocal track using this Vocaloid first.

Here's how it sounded.



Will polished this of course.

Finally Satisfied With Sonika's Vocal

I think I can just let go and move on. But I can't. After hearing some tweaked vocal track from one of the member in Vocaloid Otaku, Shoukka I decide to do more experiments.

I've change the key chord to low, middle and finally I decide it sounded good at A# or Bb.

Here's how it sounded.



But to my surprise, when I exported it as .wav file, the sound match to A instead of A#. I guess that's bugs?

I'm Waiting For You - First Verse Vocal

Sonika is a not an easy Vocaloid to use. ^^,"

This one took me 6 hours to achieve this, but it doesn't sound so realistic... just not yet... That's just proof my incompetency. I know, I just keep doing this until I have a good sound. Just like people says, practice makes perfect. (Oh, is that so?)

I'm Waiting For You - Lyric and Chord Progression

Last time, this song was titled "Never Change". But finally, I decide to change the title to "I'm Waiting For You" because that is the message that this song want to deliver.

So here they are, the lyric and the chord progression of the finalised lyric and arrangement. :)

Capo on the 2^nd fret!

Intro : G D C ( 4 x )

Verse 1 :
G
I look up at the blue sky,
D
Put my hopes on the wind.
C
I don't know when I'll be blessed,
D
For them to come true.

Verse 2 :
G
I just want you to know that,
D
I'm waiting for you here.
C
Perhaps this is my destiny,
D
To love you from far.

Reff :
C
There are some times,
D
I want to give up.
C
There are some days,
D                        C
I'll cry when I think of you,
D
Baby, I miss you...

Chorus :
.                            G         D
Coz' my love for you is true,
.                            G     C    D
I promise nothing will ever change,
.                     G     D
I will treasure you alone,
.          C Am D
Baby, I love you...

.                          G                 D
All the days that you are not here,
.                          G  C         D
I'm waiting all alone in my room,
.                        G             D
Waiting for you to come back,
.          C Am D
Baby, I miss you...

Music Solo : G D C D ( 2 x )

Reff

Chorus

Ending : G D C ( 4 x )

Chorus Draft For Never Change

It was raining heavily outside, you can listen to the rain the recording.

But I got some inspiration and I (think) I found the melody for the chorus part of the song titled Never Change (name subject to change).

Here's how it sounded.



Why I upload this crappy recording? (I believe most of you will ask this question.)

It's just to show, your "anyhow" humming melody can actually turn into a real song. If you like Vocaloid, do cover is good... but come out with originals is even better.

Don't you think so?

Never Change - First & Second Verse Composition

I almost sure that this is final, I mean the melody.

It suits my taste (the melody) although I'm not very confidence in the lyric.

Here how it sound.



Here's the lyric.

I look up at the blue sky,
Put my hopes on the wind,
I don't know when I'll be blessed,
For them to come true...

I just want you to know that,
I'm waiting for you here,
Perhaps this is my destiny,
To love you from far...

Establishment of Sun of the Dawn!

It is today, 6^th January of 2012.

[caption id="attachment_9" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Sun of the Dawn"][/caption]

Image by Tyrebagger.

I establish the Sun of the Dawn with high hope and pure heart that we will bring lights to the darkness of the night. The first piece of ray, telling the darkness that the dawn are coming, which bring new hope and new light to the bright future lies on the day ahead.

That we will make all the noise that soothing to the ears. The strings. The drums. The beats. The people singing. The people dancing in the joy. Let us all celebrate.

That we will with all of our open heart, honestly to put all of our hope upon the morning winds that will blow the the other end of the world. To let other people hear the wind whispering our wishes. May the wind too, bring all those hope and wishes high up to the sky... that it reach the heaven... the creator of the world...

"Always remember, there's someone else.
Fighting for you.
As long as you remember the name.
You will never be alone."
