Hi There Everyone!
I'm new here, my name is George. I was signed with Sony Indonesia and was planning to record / produce an album of 10 classical crossover songs. Arrangements, lyrics and actual composition were all by me.
I had 2 concerts set up: one to attract sponsors, and the other an album debut. In March, 2013, I performed in my sponsorship concert, and started recording for the album which was set to launch in May, 2013, but I was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer with severe metastasis.
I had to abandon my album and my deal and am now am in Canada, undergoing treatment. However, if it all goes well, I'll be back to my music by Christmas ^_^.
I have recordings of the live performance of TWO songs on YouTube and would love it if I ACTUALLY got some feedback from North American audiences.
The first one:
"How can you say our time has come?" is at :

"Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue" is at:

We didn't think it was necessary to actually record the sponsorship concert professionally, since we had the album and debut concert planned, but it's really all that I have of my work during my time in Indonesia. My music emphasizes "organic"-ness. Everything in the music is arranged and actually played out on an instrument: the quartet section, the guitar, the bass, the drums, back-up vocals, choir vocals, etc.
Feel free to PM or e-mail me!
Thanks All!
