The makings of a beautiful mess

A beautiful mess is somewhat of a term that I use to define cathartic moments in life. That's how I would like to describe how clutter when thrown in a mix seems to come out with something beautiful. Just like how chaotic experiences brings out the best in people. Or the experience of being caught the middle of a Sonic Youth song. It is an experience of long lost aural blasts of resonating guitars and the staccato of pounding punk rock drumbeats. It is an experience that can only be found in the middle of PayItForward’s live performance of A Childlike Response To The Nearness Of You.

Because I link doing it "my way"

People who've known me for years and people who've been familiar with my former band PayItForward often ask me why I bother to still play music as a solo act and why opted to do home recordings and tried experimenting with making electronica.

The simple answer to that is because I have never really shaken-off that adolescent drive to play in a band.

PayItForward | When I Come Around

This Greenday song was among the reasons why I decided that I want to learn to play the guitar. While Greenday was the band that made me collaborate with my friends: Laix Naguit, Chris Villarante and Jarme Mondragon back in high school to form a punk band.

PayItForward | Lending Yourself

An old song that my band PayItForward haven't played in years. Too bad my camera's memory ran out before we were able to hit the final note.
