Look in the mirror everyday! What do you see?


Couple of months ago I went to Sanuka Aiya's home for some work. (Project Suriya deyyo). He has been my main inspiration since I started music. We usually do talk about so many inspiring things and that day he taught me this.

"Look at you in the mirror everyday and talk with your reflection"

You'll figure out what to talk.


This is me looking at myself in the mirror while setting my hair up! Nangi took this.

3:30 am X Samples


Recently Charitha Attalage (I see him as the most disciplined music producer of SriLanka)  released the stems of his latest release galana ganga. I got tagged to that post by my friend Eshan. I downloaded the stems as soon as I got home after a gig. Once I imported the stems to ableton I realized how extra ordinary it was. I tried various approaches to remake it without harming the idea of lyrics and the feel. After a couple of unsuccessful projects I ended up rearranging the track as a minimal version.

Thats where I knew that I have the ability of chopping samples in un-prophetic(I just made this word) ways. So I started looking for stems of the artists I like. I found couple of tracks I love the most and downloaded the stems. Costed around 10gb of my data. But I never regret about overspending when it comes to music related things.

Trying to understand the blogging concept

Still using this blogging thing as a diary. Wanted to use password protection(Paid feature) over the blog but it is too early to invest money on a concept that I'm not sure of.

Watched a video on content marketing and decided to work on my graphics more.



3:23am


Couldn't sleep after seeing budi's video. I kept looking videos of album art designing and downloaded couple of 
tutorials from youtube. Got to check them laater today.

Dilmin sent me 3 stems from the Sihinayen Fixed version. I renamed the folder as Sihinayen OLT*.  Have to work with the project tomorrow.
*OLT stands for One Last Time.

I tend to be more efficient and productive when the project folder name has OLT in it.

The Idea of starting a blog

I badly wanted to be an organized artist from my first release. This is the first step of it.
This idea came up to me last noon. So I wasted couple of hours on youtube and found the best free option to create a website. Then there was this blog thing on the side. And the research went on and on for couple of days. Now you are reading my first blog
