Video Shoot Sessions Now!

Just to let everyone know that we are in the midst of shooting the video clip for Jingling Nona. We know that it has been a long wait to our debut album's release, but hang on in there, we are working to get both the album and this video clip released to the public as soon as possible. A thousand apologies from Wynken Delirium. Oh yes, you may also browse our MySpace's photo album to check out the pretty and cool girls involved in the making of the video clip! A thousand thank you's to our good friend Mr Clemont and the models for the opportunity to work together!

New Addition To The Wynken Family

Friends !...

We recently received news that our guitarist Zam's wife had delivered a healthy baby boy weighing 3kg. Considering his parents size, that is huge. Sorry Zam, just joking. Both mother and child are doing well and we wish Zam all the best. Do continue to "puasa" for the next 44 days.

Wynken family is growing... friends-wise, family-wise, and we are truly blessed. Alhamdulillah. We have also reached the 2000 friends mark on MySpace. A number that we thought we could never achieve. For all the people who have added us and/or approved our requests for add- a gazillion thanx!

We are also working hard to release our album next year, and we are planning a tour to go with it. Please visit our MySpace site frequently for updates. We will be playing in Singapore this coming November, thanks to Bro Bo of Vicious Volume Radio Show fame. Many more overseas shows are planned for upcoming years 2010/2011.

To all.. thanks for the continuous support!

Peace!

Maklumat Terkini Wynken Delirium (13 Ogos 2009)

Assalamualaikum Dan Salam Sejahtera.

Pertama sekali, Wynken Delirium ingin memohon maaf di atas kelewatan kami memberikan update terkini. Ini disebabkan oleh jadual keluarga, kerja, dan band yang agak padat sejak kebelakangan ini. Sebenarnya, Alhamdulillah, banyak perkembangan terbaru dari pihak kami yang ingin kami kongsi bersama teman-teman.

Album pertama kami, The Alchemy Of Worlds, sudah selesai proses mastering dan artwork designnya setelah tiga tahun berhempas pulas bekerja. Ada sebelas lagu semuanya. Terima kasih kami ucapkan kepada "POM" Kattaman Chouglin (POM Recording Studio, Long Beach, California, USA) kerana berjaya memberikan sentuhan yang istimewa dalam proses mastering album kami. Bila kami dengar semula album ini, bunyi mixing and mastering album ini mengingatkan kami kepada sound band-band doom lama seperti Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Trouble dan Saint Vitus. Bunyi analog lama dengan bottom end yang ganas dengan elemen Sunda/Jawa/Bali dari segi muzikal. Artwork album ini pula kami buat sendiri, dengan banyak menampilkan ciri-ciri Jawa dan Bali juga. Kami sekarang sedang dalam proses mengumpul dana untuk mencetak album ini, dan InsyaAllah akan berjaya diterbitkan dalam masa terdekat ini di bawah label kami sendiri iaitu Saron Production. Kami merancang untuk mencetak seribu keping dahulu untuk pasaran lokal sebagai permulaan. Kami juga sedang dalam proses perbincangan dengan Dead Sea Records untuk menentukan tarikh release album ini di US.

Dari segi alat muzik pula, Wynken Delirium baru-baru ini telah membeli satu unit saron (salah satu komponen gamelan) dari Surabaya, Indonesia untuk kami gunakan dalam live shows kami. Buat masa sekarang, selain menjadi vokalis Wynken Delirium, Ajax juga bertugas bermain saron dalam beberapa lagu. Kami masih di dalam proses mencari pemain saron berbakat yang ingin kami serapkan ke dalam Wynken Delirium sebagai ahli tetap. Kepada yang berminat, tunggu apa lagi? Hubungi kami di MySpace (www.myspace.com/wynkendelirium) untuk audition! Kami pasti gembira bertemu anda!

Wynken Delirium turut berterima kasih kepada C&M Music Center Sdn Bhd (www.cmmusic.com.my) yang telah sudi dan berbesar hati untuk memberikan endorsement deal untuk alat muzik kepada kami baru-baru ini. Wynken Delirium kini tampil menggunakan tube amplifier berjenama Bugera dalam live shows kami. Kami amat menggemari sound amplifier ini dan mencadangkan teman-teman semua untuk mencubanya juga. Harganya juga sangat berpatutan untuk amplifier berkualiti boutique amp! Bagi yang sedang mencari-cari alat muzik yang berkualiti pada harga berpatutan di sekitar Johor Bahru, kami cadangkan anda cuba C&M Music. Banyak alat dan kelengkapan muzik yang berpatutan yang kami dapati di sana.

Menoleh ke belakang, tahun 2009 merupakan tahun yang sibuk tapi menggembirakan bagi kami. Tahun ini, Wynken Delirium banyak menumpukan perhatian kepada gig-gig lokal di sekitar Johor Bahru. Sambutan yang diberikan amatlah menggalakkan dan kami amat berterima kasih kepada semua teman-teman yang menyokong perjuangan Wynken Delirium. Tanpa anda siapalah Wynken Delirium. Wynken Delirium bercadang menubuhkan friends club kami sendiri yang dapat menawarkan, di antaranya, diskaun untuk harga tiket gig yang dianjurkan oleh label kami Saron Production dan pembelian album dan merchandise Wynken Delirium. Mudah-mudahan ini menjadi kenyataan.

Sekian. Terima kasih.

What We Have Learnt So Far

Recently we had lots of gigs to play. We were lucky enough to be endorsed by C&M. Thank you to C&M for trusting WD with the deal. With all the good things coming at us, what have we learnt from these 5 years being in a band, being Wynken Delirium? We received many feedbacks after shows from friends and observers, some good to hear, and some not, but hey, these are all part of experiences and knowledge gained. What we need is a good kick in the ass to make sure we stay level-headed despite all the good things coming at us.

Lesson #1
Never skip basic things such as attending soundchecks and getting to know the equipment provided in gigs. These will help us as a band to not look and sound like fools when we start to play.

Lesson #2
Be ready and be 100% prepared to entertain the crowd. Don't let circumstances take your attention away. This is because people pay to come and see you play. We do want them to go back feeling worthy of paying whatever amount of money that parted from their well-guarded wallets.

Lesson #3
Stay true to your music. Do not try to be someone else when people dictate what to play and what not to play. At the end of the day, it is easier to be yourself rather than someone else. You will feel happier and much more satisfied.

Lesson #4
Do enjoy yourselves on stage and let the music do the talking. Let the music flow within you and share that great feeling of being onstage with the crowd. For that 15 minutes of fame, enjoy it, bathe in it, and ride it like a wild bull in the meadows of Texas. Dude! You earn it. Dont worry about it too much.

Lesson #5
A band is a family extension unit. Be truthful, be respectful of your band mates because, actually, they are the ones that also understand you and may be at some point will be there for you when you are in trouble.

Lesson #6
Practice, practice, practice, and practice some more. Play together as a band as much as possible and be yourself when you are playing your instruments, may it be guitar, bass, throat, drums (or saron, in our case). Work to be good at what you are doing and be professional about it. You make the job easier for others to play along.

At the end of the day, we must enjoy what we are doing. It's not a job, it's not a duty but it's an adventure that six guys can go through and tell to our grandchildren one day- Hey! You know what, when I was younger, we rocked the house of thousands of people.....what a dream!...

Well, it's a long way to go, but I can see it coming! Very soon my friends...very soon!

Peace!
Harris

Lotsa Things

Assalamualaikum & Greetings,

Lots of things have happened recently.

1. Got into accident on the way back from Penang gig. Car is out from workshop, still needs some little tweaking to make sure all is in place.

2. Album has been mastered. Now saving $$$ for pressing.

3. Saron Production has been registered with SSM. Now we can do things legally.

4. Application for MACP done, now waiting for their reply on application status.

5. Endorsement deal with C&M Music Centre in its final stage- waiting for stuff to arrive for us to use. Of course we need to promote C&M. Its mutual.

6. Health deteriorates for a number of band members. Now recuperating.

7. Apiz is appointed saron player. Dangerous butt-banging.

8. Lots of new friends and new old friends. Yes, we met Zaiton Sameon too.

Lots of observations and feedbacks from people and ourselves too which we can take heed (as we are humans with tendency to err)-

1. It is advisable to stay and see as much bands as possible once you paid to watch a gig. Not only you help the bands perform better by supporting them, you also get your monies worth.

2. When you are onstage, please manage your equipment levels and balancing appropriately, with respect to venue size and equipment offered. Not only you will help the audience hear you better, you also save yourself the possibility of losing hearing due to the loud decibels, and you can play tighter too as you can hear your bandmates play.

See ya.

Regards,

Zaihas @ Wynken Delirium
