Alunan Kasih Album Out soon

Alunan Kasih album will be out in stores soon!! You can also pre-order from us and the first 50 orders online will be delivered to your homes for FREE. Either by PAYPAL or BANK TRANSFER!!

If you are wondering what’s Alunan Kasih? Its one of the projects IslamicSG Networks did together with Masjid An Nur, Vocal Point, By Left & MUIS to run a song writing competition. The 10 songs that manage to qualify for the finals are recorded into an album and thus will be promoted via several channels.

Well let’s hope some of the songs can be hits in the radio!! One of my favorite is Nikmat Cintanya. Even though it got second place for the competition but personally I think it can go far. You can also listen to demos by clicking here.

Profits for the sales of this album will be channeled into Masjid An-Nur’s restoration projects.

Alunan Kasih Post Mortem

Uztazah!! Now you cannot say anymore that we never capture you in the camera alright!! haha..Well this is a montage of the Alunan Kasih Post Mortem @ Masjid An-Nur yesterday. Ooh yeah Ustazah surprised us by showing us a video clip she created using Windows Movie Maker - it was really well done!!

See it here..

I would like to share with everyone about what we shared - the good and what needed to be improved on..If you guys didn’t know!! This project was started only two months ago. That includes planning.. 2 months and we managed to do so much and yet it was the first time doing this. Yeah the first great point in this project was that somehow we came together and pulled such an amazing project.

Crazy but true. Most companies would have rejected this proposal if offered cos of the timeline. Maybe this project had a purpose and a reason (dakwah), masyallah I believe that we were guided by him. Mr Rahim also brought out this issue that even though we were stressed by the timeline, there wasn’t any qualms about it, no fights, no quarrels, no hiccups. How many project managers can tell you that such a thing happen. 6 different groups came together, An-Nur, By Left, Vocal Point, PhotoGenic, IslamicSG Networks (ours) & MUIS!!

So what was done!!

1. Planning..
2. Promotion - The initial marketing to get the Song Writers..
3. Getting the demos..
4. Blog setup
5. Song Selections - the final 10
6. Studio recordings
7. Finding Judges
8. Finding Guest Singers
9. Voting System
10. Publicity / Online Marketing
11. Interviews with Participants
12. Video Interviews
13. Video Creatons / Editing
14. Publicity via Berita ( Suria )
15. Finding Sponsors
16. Execution - DDay
17. Of course throughout everything the ADMINISTRATION bid !!

Ok I believe there was more than just this. Each task was quite huge. Somehow we manage to divide each task to each others strength and everyone supported each other.

What we mainly lack was just sponsors…Insyallah if there is a next one, this would be more evident and there will be a need to start early to start searching for sponsors.

This project will not stop here. We will still be featuring the 10 finalists from time to time and we will inform you where they will perform. The album will be created and insyallah it will be out soon. The 10 finalists will be required to come into the studio again to perfect the recording. It all boils down to recording processes and the production.

Alunan Kasih Stats

Since we launched the demos last week the figures has been really amazing. It even beats the Islamicevents.sg record and my own blog record!!

In one week it manage to get over 3000 readers, listeners and voters!! Not bad eh..Some of it is repeated visitors but it doesn’t really matter. Promising results I would say.

Wow..How I wish my blog stats are like these…its tempting me to put advertisements on the site but for the purity of the site, I will not do so.

For your information we did not ask Masjid An Nur for any price for this project cos we believe that we can benefit from it one way or another in the near future. Insyallah. Its also a great platform to test out the voting system on a larger scale.

Ooh yeah about the voting, some guys are having problems…I’ve checked it out quite thoroughly, it seems that there’s nothing wrong with it. I even ask some of my friends who haven’t vote to vote for certain songs just to get the figures to change…

Currently Leader is Song No 9: Ku Berserah.

Check out the songs if you didn’t have a chance to do so yet and do watch the recent videos in today’s posting.
