Originally posted at Wix on December 7, 2019. Edit [Feb. 5, 2021]: Added the link to Bandcamp  I have been working on this music project for almost a decade, and it started with the release of  Three Dimensional Emotions  back in 2014 and  News Sphere  in 2017.  Now, I thank God that I was given the opportunity to finally bring my music project to a close ( for this decade, the 2010s, at least ) with the release of  The Rontabs Experience, Vol. 1 .  This album contains all the songs from the previous aforementioned albums and new music from unreleased EPs;  Bibliotheque  ( 2018 ) and  Omega Generation  ( 2019 ).  Not to mention the inclusion of the single,  A Year of Silence , which is a tribute song to  The Elder Scrolls  franchise. Below are the links on where to purchase or stream the album.

The Rontabs Experience

Originally posted at Wix on July 22, 2019.  It is the year 2019, and it's the last year of the decade, and might as well be an end of an era, but, an era of what?  Ah, but I have just realized that I have been composing music for almost a decade, and I am humbled that I have done so.  I hope I do not seem egocentric to you but I have been listening to my music almost everyday and it allowed me to think freely, without restriction, primarily, maybe because my songs are instrumental and there are no vocals.  But I do reveal that I have put my heart into these songs that I had composed and I believe that these songs are the reason why I have survived a fight that no one will ever know unless I had given up.  Just so that you know where I am coming from, I have been reading a One Year Bible for more than a couple of years already, the NIV version to be precise, and by that information, you have an idea on the inspiration for my music.  Just a segue, I have read the Bible back

Music Discovery

Originally posted at Wix on October 11, 2019. Before the decade ends, I just want to share with you this dashboard that I had made using  Tableau , back in 2017.  It's a dashboard about Music, specifically on how to help you choose a song for your mood and on which decade your mind is interested about.  It's just a basic dashboard as I was new to Tableau ( until now.. ) and was an autodidact. I have learned a lot ( indirectly.. ) from the data set of this dashboard, such as  William Blake's mythology  ( from the Jerusalem song, discovered by selecting my mood as People and Places and the mindset to the 10's decade ).  Try it out, you might find something interesting while you are at it.  The dashboard can be found  HERE . Best regards, Rontabs

Download: Blender Short-Cut Links

Originally posted at Wix on May 26, 2019. Hello, I have always been fascinated with 3D imagery, in fact, I did some 3D modeling and rendering myself as you can see in my  Artstation page .  But, I seem to be not compelled to do 3D artwork anymore as I now have a full time job and is focusing on music (as  Rontabs ) on my spare time. During those days where I was studying  Blender ,   I had made me a cheat sheet of the short-cut keys that I had used for the said application, and now, I want to share it.   I hope that this document will help you. You can get the document  HERE . Best regards, Rontabs

Download: The Precepts

Since I was young, my parents and my religion teachers had always urged me to read The Bible.  After some decades I finally did, and I have compiled some of the verses which I consider the Lord's true precepts into a single document or image.  I hope to live by these precepts so God help me.  Cannot discuss too much about this topic as I do not think I am qualified ( but do not get me wrong, I was an altar boy for a year in the 90s ), so below is a preview image of the document that I had composed, and at the end of the article, you can find the link to download the PDF document.  God bless. Get the PDF document HERE . Hebrews 7:18-19 NIV - The former regulation is set aside - Bible Gateway Transcript : God's Command "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love on another" John 1

Be a Pattern Creator

Have you always wanted to create symmetrical patterns such as the these examples in the image below? Well, I have created a  Blender  file that already has a symmetry object already set up, and I am sharing it with you.  So Get it HERE . Blender is not a straight-forward program to use so better watch some easy tutorial videos at YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/user/tutor4u ). That channel is where I had learned how to use the software, and If you have doubts on the software's legality, do not worry, it is free to use and anything you produce with it is free to sell. Take a look at Blender's license here ( https://www.blender.org/about/license/ ). Going back to the patterns, the contents of the file are shown below. Just unzip "blender-2.78c-windows64.zip" to any location in your computer and run the blender.exe file to open the Blender program. Once the program is opened, open the actual files that contains the symmetry object, which ar
