With the current recording technologies we have at the tip of our Laptops.Sometimes, One may wonder where does all the "REAL" old Tapes go?
Thats right,The Great Albums,Records,Soundracks to our lives that we listen to.....
Music that is in our cars, Mp3 players, "WALKMAN"..hahah Its been a while since I said that word...IPOD'S Etc....

These were the Digital Tapes they used right before music went all in the Hard Disks

....Hard Disc recording , as we call it now !
People now use DVD's to back up my projects...
But these tapes bring a lot of memories to me and where I found them..
As I was finishing up a session next door, The Infamous AVON studio's in Jordan,second floor. I wandered into studio B , where my friend was finishing up a canto mix. I was in the vocal booth and I saw these amazing master tapes, Piles and Piles of them just stacked up....
It just made me realize how painful i was back n the days to MIX....

Now everything is in the computer all backed-up and can have total recall.....Before, everything was on tapes...These are , i think, The Last generation of so-called tapes...Before the hardisk recording came along.
I am not writing this blog to explain to you all how much I may think I know...It just brings a lot of memories to me....Tapes...When was the last time U held music on a tape?? nowadays its, all in my "Finger", my hardisk, My POD, My itunes....and very rarely ...Oh...I got a CD...BUt witihn % seconds , ur best friend will say...Can I rip it??? haha

The really old school 2 inch analog tapes sound the best especially for drums and bass instruments....punchy, bassy and really a bitch to maintain.....

I cursed tapes, everytime I picked one up, sound was poor, and the ff & rw took ages, but now I miss them dearly, like you say, memories. Must of been quite the flashback seeing all these.

I told a friend that one of my dream is to have my own CD Store. He said that was the 1st time he ever heard people saying that, he only heard about people gonna close one...and I'm still keepin' a tape I always listen to as I was primary school student...

Born In Hong Kong, Raised in Macau , Australia , California , NYC....Culture Shock is nothing new to me. Jun , also known as Junny which is short for Joventino Couto Remotigue J.R....I am a Juniour, to make life a bit less tongue twisting, Junny is what friends and family call me.
My father is Full Filipino(Cebu), Mother is part Chinese, part Portuguese and part Mexican.
I guess I am often misunderstood coz I know I can be intimidating. I guess I really don't bother explaining myself too much. I guess I express it better thru playing music. very cliche......
I play Music for a living and am neither undergound nor upperground.I guess my life is a contradiction to start with.
I love playing music but also love singing and playing the bass at the same time and also, doing a million things at the same time....Love the attention but hate the gossip. Them 2 seems to always go hand in hand.
Released 2 albums in 99 and 01, but soon got fed up with the canto pop lifestyle. Moved to Macau to focus on my craft and also erase the Pop-Idol image that was created for me from my previous Label....
I have always been involved in the Canto-pop business to pay bills and to cover my expenses doing creative/fun Music on the side.Like performing with my bands, "JUNK UNIT", Eugene & the "POWS" classic rock cover band.
I love performing in front of people, I don't think I know how to do anything else.
But if I could do it all over again, I would definately better myself,get a higher education and keep my day job !
Ever since the internet,the MusicBusiness is more conservative than it used to be, plainly coz albums don't sell anymore....Performing Live is what I do and what I know how to do, and is what people always go back to..live performances.....
I just have a talent to persuade great musicians to play for me....hahaha...Thats better than going to school !!!!
Friends are most important to me,Its not what I do, but the process of doing it.I am happy when I see people happy...
My Musical quote.. " Less Is More ".....
My Motto..."Ask and you shall recieve"...
My Attitude......"convince me"
My Love .....is far away from me
My Music....just like me, Contradicting..Don't ask me how.
My Work....phone calls, emails and a million and one meetings.
My Car....Cruising in my old skool mini is my escape from everyone.
My Family...Understands me but are hyper sensitive to everyone and everything.I love them to bits.
My song..."Shout"-Tears for Fears
My Dream...The day that money won't mean a thing.
