anthony wal / tripptimer

Wow... it's been a while.... coming around after a 'longer than anticipated' break. I've been lying under the radar for some time so I can finish other projects and write some new tunes... under 'tripptimer'. It's a new 'thing' I'm going through... and I like it. AW has taken on 'tripptimer' as a new project. A few tunes have been written under this title and I think they kick ass. Lyrics are a little more explicit... in your face... that kind of thing... but, nothing offensive or anything like that. Btw... I dropped Shania a note about collaborating on a song I wrote... would be cool to hook up for a song or two. We'll see if she gets back to me...........

I'll be back soon... not next year... ;) ... in the meantime, check out this site:

Another Zidane Incident?

Regarding last week's soccer tournament (which officially ended today - finals), the AW team had a lot of fun. There were a few pulled muscles here and there and AW's cousin Mo got a little sick (upset stomach & slight fever). But, they managed to keep on playing and finish the 5-game tournament. Thanks to Mo for putting AW's pulled quad back in shape to finish his goaltending duties in the last 2 games.

The whole day was a lot of fun and the refs were super cool. Thanks, guys. Too bad the day had to end on a bit of a 'sour note' due to one team that came back drunk after the lunch break and started throwing around some 'not so' colorful comments - really classy bunch o' winners... not! We really felt like kicking one guy's ass (he kept mouthing off at everyone around him), but that would have just created another 'copycat' Zidane moment (btw, we totally back Zizou up on that moment - good for you, bro!). Also, off the record, a couple of teams allegedly tried to fix their last game against each other in order to eliminate another team. DUDES - it's a f$%@! charity tournament! You guys suck!

Anyways, let's stay focused on the positive stuff - fun day overall and the AW team had a good time (despite the losses and the 768 shots on net against AW ... lol!). I think the AW team will bring a few more defencemen next time. Thanks to the gang for showing up. We'll be sure to bring a lawn chair (and a few more burgers) for Paolo next time - hope you slept enough, dude. Ur a star and we love ya! ;)

After receiving 3 nominations from the 2007 Toronto Exclusive Magazine Music Awards, Anthony Wal wins Best Provincial (Canadian) CD/EP for the recently released Anthony Wal ‘EP’ (available exclusively on iTunes) and Best Provincial Web Site for www.anthonywalmusic.com in the Pop category. Wal was also nominated in the category of Best Provincial Pop Song for Miss You.

Presently, Wal is working hard on his next CD, which should be available early in 2008. The songs explore new territories (for Anthony Wal) in their musical compositions and especially their lyrics. He is thrilled to be working with long-time friend and music mentor, D.K. Ryu, on the upcoming CD. Ryu will undoubtedly add a breath of fresh air with his amazing musicianship on piano & keyboards. As well, AW is looking forward to teaming up with Ryu in the mixing and final production of the CD.

Wal is also brainstorming with Philou Martin on a new video for Miss You. It is still in the early stages, but they are trying to get it ready soon and make it available on YouTube for everyone to check out. Martin, originally from Marseille (France), is a young video director with great artistic vision.
