Being and Becoming… Acel’s Farewell Concert and Album Launch!

I’ve always been a huge fan of female fronted OPM bands. So much so that when I decided to start a band, I knew it had to have a female vocalist; thus, the reason why Thrina came to fold to be the final piece of the missing puzzle. From Hungry Young Poets to Barbie’s Cradle, Mojofly to Kitchie Nadal and later on with Lougee Basabas, Session Road and Hannah Romawac, Aia de Leon and Imago, and lastly Acel Bisa and Moonstar 88. These were the bands/artists that we used to cover their songs when we did our round of gigs back in the day. I’ve seen some of them play live on stage, but I’ve never seen Acel live. Such a bummer if you live far away from Metro Manila. Acel is perhaps best remembered during her Moonstar 88 days, but her solo efforts were no slouch either. So when I found out that she’ll be having a “Farewell concert”, I knew this was something that I shouldn’t miss. So I booked a VIP ticket with some friends eager to finally be able to watch Acel live on stage. Of course since this was a twin event being an album launching too, I was also excited to hear her new album, curious how she would sound now. I haven’t been following Acel and other OPM artists as of late when I personally took a long hiatus with anything related to music, so being able to listen to something new from one of the artists that we look up to was something that I was looking forward to; especially knowing that Acel has been a Christian for quite some time. In fact if I am not mistaken, we once shared the same Christian Music record label distribution company in Praise Music. This was the time when Acel decided to embark on a solo career.

Acel Bisa Van Ommen in her element

The show formally started a little past 8:00 pm with Acel welcoming her audience with the last track from her latest album. "My Cure" is an easy listening track that segues into a catchy sing song chorus that sticks with you as she belts out the chorus lines. Unmistakably, this is Acel in her element. And this is just the first song. As Acel introduces her next song “Second Choice” (the carrier single of the album that made it to Spotify’s New Music Friday Playlist), you’ll immediately know that this is going to be one special evening. You could immediately feel the positive vibe and the inspirational nature of the song that seeks to empower us by recognizing our self worth. The tone of the evening is set but then as Acel breaks into her third song, the haunting lullaby “Shut it Down”, where her emotive delivery of the song doubles as a plea for everyone to tone down the use of social media, changed the pace of the evening. It turned to be one filled with roller coaster of emotions. Good thing that her next song “You” reassures us again of loving and giving value to ourselves. Both songs send a message how the age of social media tend to turn most of us into narcissists or having that feeling that we are loved less when we start comparing ourselves to others, which is actually a wrong notion; because if we recognize God’s love for us, then we’ll never look for another kind of love or affirmation to fill that emptiness inside. This would then lead to her next song “Great Reward” which actually speaks about God being our great reward. That being able to nurture this relationship with him is the only thing in this world that matters. By this point, I knew that the album is something that I would like to listen more often and draw inspiration from.

Acel with her kids performs a Laufey original

It was also heartwarming to see Acel being joined by her two sons as they performed a cover of Laufey’s song “From the Start”. Acel also took the opportunity to introduce her NGO Charitable institution RIGHT START which seeks to empower and give opportunities to underprivileged children. Joined by Denice Lao and a trio of her kid scholars from Right Start, they performed a song that speaks of the value of Children in our society. The ever lovely Clara Benin also makes a surprise appearance as she belts out two of her songs as Acel takes a breather and wardrobe change. As Acel returned on stage, she belts out a couple of commissioned songs and covers, with her refreshing take of Rico Blanco’s “Your Universe” being my favorite one of the medley of cover songs (hey I’m a huge Rico Blanco fan!). Then it was at this point that my favorite part of the concert came. When Acel began her testimony of how she encountered God and how God saved her and turned her life around. Her testimony would set the stage for her to finally sing her song for God. “Be Still” is that one track from her album that redirects all of the other songs’ messages to that one faithful God that she has been talking about in her other songs. If there were some vagueness about who she has been referring to with her other songs, this song would refocus all the attention to God. It’s a similar writing style that we do when we release our albums; writing songs that has some vagueness to it so that secular mainstream audience would not be overtly turned off by the religious messaging of the song (at least when released as singles) yet dropping one praise and worship song in the album to direct the listeners that all of the songs in the album are actually our faith stories and our way of honoring God by witnessing his faithfulness to us.

Queens of OPM Rock Acel and Lougee Basabas of Mojofly

Yet the night was still full of surprises as Acel introduced her guest performers EJ DE Perio, a Christian artist himself that I have his songs on my OPM Christian Music playlist, as well as Lougee Basabas of Mojofly. Lougee also shared her story about how she encountered God with Acel’s help, turning her life around as a Christian. She then proceeds to sing her new song with Acel, a Christian Contemporary Pop/Rock song that she offers to God. Lougee has been a very able and talented singer-songwriter that took the reins of Mojofly when Kitchie Nadal pursued a solo career, owning the band with her hit song “Mata”, perhaps the most popular song in Mojofly’s catalogue. And that’s saying much coming from someone who had totally busted his first two Mojofly cassette tape albums featuring Kitchie on vocals being heavily played on the cassette player. Of course, the evening wouldn’t be complete without Acel performing her greatest hits, “Sulat” and “Ang Pag-ibig kong ito” (a Leah Navarro original) from the second Moonstar 88 Album, “Torete” from the Moonstar 88 debut album, and her first solo hit song “Pitik Bulag.” She completes her originals by ending her set with the final song from her latest album, the song “Buhangin” which succinctly encapsulates her upcoming journey, like sand that is blown by the wind to new places worth discovering. In between those songs and some song finales for the evening, Acel breaks into praise and worship mode as she belts out covers of some of the most popular Christian songs now (You’re Love is Extravagant by Casting Crowns, Gratitude by Brandon Lake, Always on Time by Elevation Worship, Goodbye Yesterday by Elevation Rhythm and Gracie Binion), joined by her friends (Lei Bautista of Prettier than Pink to name one) and her family. She even quipped that it feels like everyone is in Church this evening.    

The finale breaks into an impromptu Praise and Worship evening

To be honest, to be able to witness this was a thing of beauty. For someone who’s been fighting and advocating for Christian Music to someday be heard more and being accepted more by mainstream audience outside the confines of Church, it just puts a smile to my face that I am not alone in this ministry after all. To see Acel being able to shift and turn the evening from being a secular concert celebrating her songs to turning it into an impromptu Praise and Worship night filled with her life’s testimony, and witnessing how God worked his love to find and saved her. It’s something that I can only dream of for our band and our songs. To know that someone has already done it, it gives me great comfort and joy that with this ministry that I have been fighting for since 2006, someone actually shares it too. And not just from some start up artist, but someone who has a name and already has a platform to speak from.

I went home inspired to continue with the mission. To write songs to help uplift wounded souls.

Thank You Acel for this evening. May God Bless you and your music. May it inspire multitude of lives to seek God and start a faithful relationship with him. I am at peace knowing that there are more of us working for the Lord and willing to be his witness and storytellers to share his great love for us in song form.

It's another Friday!

 

And we just woke up to another news. Our latest release "FREE" has just been added to ChristianDance.eu's New Music Friday Christian Contemporary (CCM) playlist! 

 

If last week was a surprise when we got playlisted on Spotify's Official Fresh Finds Philippines Playlist, this was even a bigger surprise considering ChristianDance.eu is a UK based Christian Music Playlist Curator. And placed at a higher spot at that, number 4! 

 

These past two weeks was kinda crazy for our song "FREE", but I think the song has done its purpose. Despite being a 15 year old song, it has broken through to today's audience via the Fresh Finds Philippines playlist and the International Christian Music audience through this playlist.

 

And if you don't have a Spotify account, there's always Youtube. As we just released last night the official music video of the song. The music video features never before seen archival footage and photos from our past gigs from some 15 years ago that we have kept in the vault until now!

 

Check out the link to the music video here: 

 

 

Thank You God for this blessing! It just inspires us to continue with our mission to write songs to help uplift wounded souls with our brand of music!

 

Our latest single "FREE" charts at number 7 on Spotify's Official Fresh Finds Philippines Playlist!

 

 

This was unexpected!

 

But we are honored and ecstatic to have our latest single "FREE" to be featured on Spotify's Official Fresh Finds Philippines playlist. Charting at the number 7 spot. This is our first time to have been featured on this editorial playlist and we are thrilled to have this one last song that we recorded from way back in 2009 reach a new generation of audience. I honestly kind of resigned to myself that since this song was recorded about 15 year ago, this song must have been outdated for today's audience's taste. We haven't landed in any Spotify Editorial Playlists since that Alternative Rock Christmas song that we released last 2022. So my hopes weren't as high. So this came as a complete surprise. But first of all, I take no credit for this song. I wasn't involved in the writing and composition of this song. This was all John Erickson Gloria and Adonis Berongoy, as well as Doris Bangot's and Thrina Dimaano's efforts from 2009 to come up with a song that would be included in our second album. "FREE" was written by John Erickson Gloria (Guitars) and Adonis Berongoy (Drums) with additional inputs by Doris Bangot (Bass), and arranged by the band. This was their contribution for our second album from way back but unfortunately didn't make the final cut (there were too many songs to choose from). Fortunately however, I was able to preserve a pristine copy of the song. And decided to release this song as a tribute to that final iteration of the band. And by the looks of it, we've done the unthinkable. A 15 year old song making its mark 15 years later!

This also proves to be a testament of Adonis' songwriting prowess as this is also the second time that a song written by him was featured on an Official Spotify Editorial playlist. The other one was the carrier single of our second album, the song "BELOVED SAVIOR", which made it to Spotify's New Music Friday Philippines playlist two years ago. Of course, "FREE" wouldn't be a classic Thoughts And Notions song without the familiar voice of Thrina Dimaano. So from the three of our Editorial Playlist feature, This iteration of the band was responsible to two of those placements. I always considered this iteration of the band as our peak form from way back. And these accomplishments in the digital age of music proves to show their talents are here to stay. Cementing our place in Cagayan de Oro's local music scene.

When the second album was released, I did not exercise a monopoly in the songwriting department as I allowed the band to explore and showcase what they are capable of in terms of songwriting. So "FREE" is one of those products. My only contribution to this release is the artwork of the song (photo taken by me at Kryal Castle in Melbourne, Australia with limited graphic design work helped by FOTOR). And of course, the marketing of the song as well as whatever marketing collateral that I have self-made with my limited skills lol (Don't worry, you'll see one more post-release video that I made). Like this poster that I made as seen above. It somehow played a huge part in making people take notice of the forthcoming release. This is actually the first time that I tried doing something like this. I exerted extra effort in promoting this song compared to the previous releases. Perhaps this song meant so much more to me than the recent works that I did. Even if I didn't write the song. But it's just like the way it was back then when I managed the band. They focused on the music, their performance on stage, songwriting, and other music related stuff while I explore opportunities for them to be able to maximize what they are capable of doing with their music. This was truly a cathartic experience for me. Perhaps a full circle moment. This also proved to show that the band that we have was oozing with potential. We just never made it to the finish line. But along the way, we did make some various stops (i.e.the 2009 NU 107  Rock Awards College Band of the Year nomination, Spotify New Music Friday for our second album's carrier single Beloved Savior, and some other various local recognition from the past). We did it our way despite the limited resources that we have, and we wouldn't have had the strength to go on without the support of our friends and families.

 

So Thank Yous are in order.

 

Thank You to our families, friends, and those who supported us from yesteryears. I really don't know if you guys have found us again in this Digital age of music. But we are still here trudging on. We are fighting with you to keep our music alive!

 

Thank You also to Ralf Gonzales who had been very patient in assisting us in our digital music journey thus far. We wouldn't have made it this far without his guiding presence.

 

Most of all, Thank You God for continuing to lead the way. You very much know that deep within our hearts, we are in this Thoughts And Notions project only to honor you. We never aspired for more but to offer ourselves at your service for the Christian music industry.

 

Let me also take this opportunity to thank the band who was our engine during our twilight years. To Adonis, Erickson, Doris, and of course Thrina. I couldn't be prouder of you guys. This is an accomplishment and a milestone that marks what you are capable of achieving together. Will a live reunion ever be on the offing? I'd jump at the chance to make it happen.

 

This definitely is not the end. One half of the band are still going strong with Erickson and Adonis still teaming up with their other bands. Especially for their upcoming Red Horse Music Laban stint representing Cagayan de Oro. You'll also definitely hear more from Thoughts And Notions. So keep posted for what's next. As for Doris, we're waiting for her big comeback when time permits. She's going to be a force to be reckoned with. 

 

This last hurrah from a bygone era, what a way to close this one out. This milestone marks the final achievement of this iteration of the band. For Thrina, Adonis, Erickson, and Doris. What a way to make a final bow from that era! Definitely more power and more music from you guys. I'll always be here to make sure that your songs would be heard for generations to come.

 

Thank You Jesus for this blessing and opening doors for our music!

 

 

P.S. 

 

We’re just starting our efforts to promote "FREE" to where we can take it to. Watch out for the music video that I'll be releasing maybe next week. And more stories to come!

FREE - The last unreleased Thoughts And Notions song from 2009

I could no longer recall the circumstance why this song was left on the cutting floor when we made the final decision on what would make it to the final cut of our second album. Granted, it was an album that featured 12 tracks (which included a bonus song that financed the recording and production of the album). So something had to give. But luckily, despite the song being on our vault for the longest time, the CDR copy that I had it in held up to the ravages of time. So I was able to preserve a pristine copy of the song (to which I could not say for the other songs that I deemed as demo recordings of our other songs). The song "FREE" is a song that I didn’t write or co-wrote with Wilbert Raagas Tan. It was penned by John Erickson Gloria and Adonis Donshox Gomez Berongoy, lead guitarist and drummer of our band, and was recorded from way back in 2009. "FREE" is a feel good song that celebrates one’s freedom from all the problems and anxieties in life. And just looking forward to a bright day ahead. Wrapped by Love and Faith. Why? Because you knew that you lived in FAITH. And you’ve got Jesus Christ to thank for! This isn't the only song that Erickson and Adonis had contributed to us back then. They are actually responsible for some of the other songs in our second album. Most notably the song "Cloudy Day". They were also the ones who supplied the musical arrangements for the lyrics that I wrote for the songs "Arise" and "Safer in My Heart". With Adonis contributing to perhaps our greatest worship song ever called "Beloved Savior", which later on would make it to Spotify's official New Music Friday Philippines playlist.

Thoughts And Notions line up from 2009

I have the most fondest memories of this group if I might say. This was perhaps the most prolific of all the band line-ups that we have went through. Because this was the tightest that we have ever been. Simply because the four of them had a tight relationship at that time.Thrina Dimaano (lead vocals) and Doris Bangot (bassist/backing vocals) are best friends that dates back to their high school years. Adonis and Erickson has been buddies in Church. And that chemistry would bleed through the live performances that we had during that stretch run from 2009. Of all the countless line up changes that we had, this was the only group that really put their headspace on recording new stuff for the band. And that resulted to a more infused youthful sound as evidenced by the songs in the second album that was either penned by them or musically arranged by them. But back to the song "FREE", the song title is actually quite telling in the sense that this also marked the end of the band as it was constituted. Because months later after our album launch, I would literally set them free as I embarked to build a career and start my own family in Manila. But this didn't stop them from forging on, as they continued playing together for quite some time, continuing their own run of finishing the year as a unit and even recorded one song that was written by Doris and fully arranged by the band. 

Adonis and Erickson would later on become crucial pieces to these bands

Though all good things sometimes come to an end, and even if they eventually went their separate ways, Erickson and Adonis would eventually build a strong career with their other band Novelista Pasta. I would later on write one song with them, the song called "Iglap". And when that band went on a hiatus, a new band emerged called Brandibelly, and even did a Bisaya translation of our song "Safer in My Heart". The band would went on to tour in different places in Mindanao. Making a name for themselves as the new voice of CDO's Bisrock music scene. As for Thrina and Doris, they would continue playing as a unit with Erickson, getting booked for various gigs in different resto/bar spots in CDO. With or without me, the band had indeed proved their worth as a unit or as separate musicians. In fact, they really don't need me to show how much they are capable of restarting their careers and show what they are capable of doing. I am just a big believer of their talent and support what they are capable of achieving. As of today, I'm trying to ensure that Novelista Pasta's legacy lives on in the Digital Music age, helping them upload and release their songs on the Digital Music streaming platforms. I think that is the least that I could do for all their contributions to our band. 

Getting them all back together will be a very impossible task to do. That's why moving forward, any idea of Thoughts And Notions being a live playing band again is doubtful. Because we are situated in different parts of the country now. I do however hope that when the right time comes, we could all come together and have a reunion show that would feature all of the musicians that played for our band. And that includes John Fernandez's band Sadhana, or should I say the first ever iteration of Thoughts And Notions. But for now, let us all celebrate the release of "FREE", the one last hurrah of the band before that chapter is closed. This is the final output of the band. And they deserve one final bow with the release of this song. For Thrina Dimaano, Doris Bangot, John Erickson Gloria, and Adonis Berongoy. Thank you for being a part of our beautiful story.

Pre-save the album on this link and let us all celebrate the freedom to find all the good things in life and appreciate the blessings that comes with it.

That time we played at the Kerygma Feast with Bo Sanchez

Thoughts And Notions with Brother Bo Sanchez

Let's do some throwback stories, to the time when we were chosen to play at the 2006 The Kerygma Feast in Cagayan de Oro. It was an honor for us to grace the stage with Brother Bo Sanchez as he is one of my favorite Christian writers. In fact, I was a voracious reader of his published books and magazines. Getting a lot of inspiration from Bo's published works for me to come up with the lyrics that I wrote for the band. This also marked the band's tenth live gig, albeit with a new drummer in tow this time around. Our first drummer Nelson Dychauco Jr. had to take a medical leave some months prior, which would eventually turn out to be his final exit with the band. Though this matter presented a new challenge to the band, however the entry of Adonis Berongoy as the new drummer proved to be a blessing to the band. As he would stay on to be one of the most longest serving band member just next to Thrina, our chief vocalist. Adonis would also contribute a couple of his song compositions in our second album, most notably the praise and worship song "Beloved Savior", which would be featured on Spotify's Official New Music Friday playlists sixteen years later.     

Beating the nervousness in playing in front of a sell out crowd

As for the band's performance on this day, what I could recall was we had a great time churning out tunes from our debut album and some cover songs from Jars of Clay's catalogue. In front of a full packed venue at that! Unfortunately, there was some confusion on stage as we started singing the songs. Because we were not told in advance that we should at least sing songs that were more familiar with the audience. Hence, there was some confusion as Brother Bo himself wasn't able to join us as we performed our set. And the audience also wasn't able to sing-a-long with us. As a budding band manager myself, I failed to make sure to get all the details from the organizers. So I was kind of embarrassed after the show. I do remember apologizing to Bo for the mix up, to which he was gracious enough to accept. He even signed some of the band posters that we brought along. I wonder where those posters went now, because I could no longer find it when I went back to CDO years later. It was also a pleasure to meet Alvin Barcelona, one of the featured singers for the Kerygma Feast that day. Alvin Barcelona if I remember it correctly used to play for OPM legend KA Freddie Aguilar's band, the music icon behind the OPM hit song "Anak". It was my first brush with a veteran Christian Music artist, and I was very much eager to pick his brains and know more about Christian music from him. We did swap CDs (our debut album to his latest album) and had some e-mail conversations months later.

John Fernandez, Co-lead vocals/Rhythm guitars

Though we would consider this gig a very successful one, this engagement however would be our last gig to feature John Fernandez as a permanent member (however he would rejoin us years later as a session guitarist). There's no doubt that John is an uber talented singer/songwriter. But I also thought it was kind of unfair for him to share co-lead vocals duties with Thrina at that time, especially if he would play/sing behind her. I had to make the difficult decision of letting him go. At the time, the focus was in promoting our debut album which featured Thrina on sole vocals, and sometimes there's this invisible push and pull between them. Maybe if the planned nationwide mall tours by our record label pushed through at that time, I could have given John his own spotlight, specially when we start promoting other songs from our record label's catalogue. You see part of the deal was for the band to also promote songs by foreign artists from their catalogue, especially those who can't come to the Philippines to promote their songs. John would have handled the songs by bands that has a male lead vocalist. But the nationwide tour didn't push through, and we were forced to go the independent route playing gigs in Cagayan de Oro. So I guess, for me that time, as an inexperienced band manager, I had to consider making hard decisions. And this was one of those. But that is very well much in the past. Today, John has come a long way with his new band Alternotes. His band has conquered the island of Camiguin, playing in huge festivals there. And I've been encouraging him of late to start recording his original song compositions. So I'm just here waiting for him, always ready to lend a helping hand in making sure his songs would be heard on the Digital Music streaming platforms one of these days.      

(From L-R) Adonis Berongoy, Tim Marquez, Thrina Dimaano, John Fernandez, Alvin Carreon

To close this blog entry, it is with a fond recollection that our band Thoughts And Notions indeed experienced a lot of hardships early on. But I also look back at the innocence of the band and the hopeful energy we had back then. Yes we had a record deal on one hand, yet we also had to survive as an independent band early on. But we never really made those things hinder us from pursuing our dreams and goals as a band. And years later, through all the travails and the times we did break, I think we did well during our stretch run as a band on that year 2006. I'll try to recall even more stories in the next entries. So do keep posted if you are interested to know more about our band.

What a surprise! Our second album just reached half a million streams!

 

What a surprise!

Our second album just reached half a million streams! 

 

I always considered the output of this album as the peak of Thoughts And Notions. With still so much potential  to grow and become the best version of the band. But life happened. We went on a very long hiatus.

That’s why I never take for granted the opportunity to share our songs in this current digital music streaming age. Because I personally feel that we failed in making this album leave a mark in our local music scene. And this time we are given a new lease on life.

Half a million streams later, we are looking forward to the next half. And we won’t have been able to make it without your support.

So huge thanks to those who had taken the time to listen to this album. Hopefully, if you like them enough, please share it to those who you think would love the album as well. We are eternally grateful for your effort and support.🙏

In celebration for this milestone, here's some trivia that we would like to share with regards to how proud we are of this album.

 

1.) We never got to release the album nationwide, but we were able to independently release it  in our hometown Cagayan de Oro which was made available in local record bars and coffee shops. We more or less sold 300 copies if we remember it right.  

 

2.) In the lead up to this release, it had been our busiest time as a band as we did a lot of gigs and tours around the city and even played in far flung cities such as Davao (Nescafe Soundskool) and Manila (Rizal Park). As well as serving as opening act for prestigious bands and artists like Bamboo (the band), Christian Bautista, Rico Blanco, Powerspoonz, Sheila And The Insects, Hillsong Worship, among others.  

 

3.) We had a contract (GUSI Records) for a national distribution record deal that we just weren't able to pursue as we went on a long hiatus. It could have been our second nationwide album release

 

4.) The indie concept album featured recycled envelopes with a DIY design your own CD Artwork that also features tons of merchs like a sticker, lyric card (that also served as a prayer card featuring the song Beloved Savior), artwork replica of a painting based on the Mandala Circle by Kelly Palagans-Ramos), and some more other stuff

 

5.) The carrier single of the album "Runaway Angel" was the song that got us nominated in the 2009 NU 107 Rock Awards under the URock College Band of the year Category. Years later, the chosen carrier single “Beloved Savior” for the digital music release made it on Spotify’s Official New Music Friday Playlist.
