I have been thinking of ways to celebrate 10 consecutive
years of writing for pan.
First I said I was going to have a small launch in
Trinidad, invite a few people, give
out some CDs with some music, but that would be too
limited, particularly that my music is not necessarily
confined to Trinidad.
Of course another way is to consult with people who can
provide access to my music. Link with Pan-Jumbie, an up
to date, and most informative site, is a great asset.
We could also provide opportunities, such as people
interested in doing arrangements of any of the songs,
can get the lead sheets from me, and even place their
arrangements of such songs for sale, with a win-win-win
between arranger, distributor, composer (e.g. Sune
Borregaard arranging Colours Again and distributing via
MauMau Music), or you could simply choose to listen
and do nothing.
Perhaps we can also use the opportunity to see where my
music has been played over the world, which I have been
trying to compile.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the artistes, co-composers, writers, scorers/transcribers,
arrangers, bands, pannists, teachers, schools,
universities, orchestras, studio producers and musicians,
COTT, websites, communities, pan organizations, media,
family, friends and everyone who has been part of this
wonderful journey, for your support. There would be far
too many names to mention.
You are invited to email comments, inputs, reviews,
photos, etc.
Feedbacks will be used as part of a process of
ongoing improvement to this site.
Enjoy and visit as often as you like!
