Mahkota- The Making 2

Once again, back in the studios to complete MAHKOTA, the lead violin part..=)
And since it's a public holiday for Selangor, i seize the opportunity to get it done quickly. Main reason is i would like to send the file over to my arranger/ violinist friend, Peng Fei in Shanghai to record the orchestra over the weekend and to hopefully record in GuangZhou, as the cost there would be much better.
So well, this time with a "click" track, Peng Fei's job gonna be so much easier right?

Peng Fei's a very good friend of mine and is also a fellow jazz violinist/ arranger/ Composer like me based in Shanghai, China.
Probably one of the best musician i know around the globe!
Here's WHY & a little biodata about him being the maestro himself!
