about

This album includes songs from the Nom a Song project, where people sent in custom song requests which were fulfilled by myself, Karl Eifrig, or the two of us together. These be song requests I fulfilled on my lonesome.

Krizette from the Philippines requested a acoustic/punk/classic rock song titled ‘Teenage Prison.’ She wrote, ‘Teenage prison is like home arrest. Grounded, can’t go to any parties, can’t go out with friends and have fun, always told/scolded to stay at home and never go out because of some mistake you committed the past few years of your high school life when you just want to live your life to the fullest.’

Mr San from New Zealand requested a song called Mr San’s World Tour to commemorate his upcoming vacation with stops around the world. Based on his itinerary, here’s what Sonick came up with.

Vinita Chhahira requested a song done in a Bollywood / Bhangra style that would include the dentist-visit-related lyrics “I wore cool shades”, “There’s protein in my saliva” & “My teeth were media-blasted”.

Kai Balbin from Orange County, CA suggested the song title Diwata, which is a Filipino word for ‘goddess’ or ‘fairy’, and requested the song sound like ‘maybe sigur ros meet radiohead meet the album leaf/roots of orchis.’

Panchitah from Los Angeles, California asked for a song in tribute to the ‘unknown errors are happening’ error message that occasionally can be seen on the fun social communication site plurk.com. The music was produced on an 8-bit Apple II computer.
