goodbye jeff...

last friday, during a moonstar gig at gasoline alley, i got a call from robert javier. he distressedfully broke to me the news of Jefrey Felix's death early that morning due to heart attack. i got shocked becuse me and jeff had just been talking about adjustments to be made on the recent youth recordings and at the same time told him that i wanted him to master the candyudioline, soft pillow kisses and superminty recordings that we did a few months back so that i can be released na anytime...

personally, i'm not that close to jeff but of all the sound engineers that i've recorded with, he's one of the best especially when your dealing with noisy guitar-oriented stuff... he's very friendly and would alawys crack a few jokes here and there specially when he feels that you're not being comfortable while working... there were times na kahit antok na antok na yan during a session, kakayanin pa rin nya... he's worked for the recording industry for a very long time. he even did a number of punk and hardcore recordings in the early days of the local philippine underground scene...

... another loss for the locl music scene... to get a sample of this guys genius, try to get your hand on an acoustic version of "mr, suave" by Parokya ni Edgar...

goodbye and thanks for your time, efforts and genius jeff...
