Vic Omila sings “Aba Ginoong Maria” by Manuel V. Francisco, SJ with Nhick accompanying on the piano. This Tagalog version of the “Ave Maria” is probably one of the most haunting of the “Ave Maria” melodies I have ever heard!
“Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison” text experiment with Eastwest Quantum Leap Voices of the Apocalypse with other samples. This song turned out to be the credits track of the short film “A2B” by Chad Costen.
“Remembering Home” is a short, sentimental piano solo played on the old PMI Bosendorfer. I composed this tune one time I was feeling really home-sick and I wanted to go home.
Piano-violin arrangement of a Filipino folk tune of the same title using the Black Grand and a violin solo patch from Garritan Personal Orchestra. “Si Nanay Si Tatay” is a very popular folk song from Southern Luzon (Bicol), Philippines.
“My Loft” is an improvisation on the piano and recorded live. Another sentimental moment at my apartment back when I had my own.
“After We Said Goodnight” is a piano improvisation straight to recording. This was one of my sentimental moments where I wanted to make a music diary which proved too time-consuming.
“Solitary Weekend” is a piano improvisation straight to recording. This was one of my sentimental moments and I wanted to make a music diary which proved too time-consuming.
“Quasifuga” is a demo song for the Garritan Personal Orchestra (GPO), first edition. This uses the solo strings patches which I loved. I especially like the pizzicato patches for their very realistic sound!
Second of the “Singkil” series of works. This is a composition for angklung and ethnic instruments based on a traditional Southern Philippine Moslem dance form. This is performed live by the Musikong Kawayan Bamboo Ensemble.
