CERUMENTRIC News

erickfabian — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 08:11:10 +0000

Apologies for not posting here for such a long time…MySpace and Facebook ate too much of the attention.

So anyway:

1. CERUMENTRIC was nominated for Best Dance Act-Solo in the AVIMA Awards 2009 (http://voize.my). I did not win, but it was the biggest exposure I’ve ever had so far and I have nothing but big thanks to the VOIZE people of Malaysia, Siva Chandran, Rachel Chan, etc. Thanks a lot to those who voted and supported CERUMENTRIC. Three albums are coming your way (of course, you have to pay a bit for it, or I’ll go hungry.), and I really worked hard on them.

2. Work is almost done on the third album. I’m planning on releasing all three albums this year. More choices for you!

3. CERUMENTRIC is now on Facebook! If you don’t find anything new here, just go to:

4. The CERUMENTRIC Pre-Release Teaser can now be downloaded at

http://www.esnips.com/doc/e482f85e-726f-4f1b-9793-d605a4875e9c/CERUMENTRIC-Pre-Release-Teaser

It contains free mp3 samples, new press photos, and a newly-written bio. Enjoy!

5. I’m appealing to people who can help me raise money for a good laptop that I can use for live performances. I am a freelance web designer/graphic artist/writer-editor/English tutor/sound designer/music composer/sound editor. Just email me at eafsr-at-yahoo-dot-com. My prices are cheaper than standard rates.

That’s all for now.

We Are NOT DEAD Yet!

For the sake of those wondering where TicTiger! Productions is going now, it’s not the grave of lost dreams.

We are currently busy with the following:

Finishing the CERUMENTRIC debut LP to be released next year.
Procuring gear for our home studio.
Experimenting with different comix concepts.
Planning new events for 2008.

Don’t fret. We will announce something soon. For the meantime, Happy Holidays to everyone!

Please keep yourself posted for release news, events, and more dumb-ass know hows!

Chunky Far Flung Gallery & Cafe Is Closing!

erickfabian — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 12:50:23 +0000

A ton of apologies for the bad news. The launch of TicTiger! #16, supposed to be held at Chunky Far Flung in Cubao, will have to be considered tentative (read: cancelled) until an alternative venue can be arranged. That does not mean that we will not release the new issue. It’s just that there will be no fanfare or any event to accompany it. I have just been informed by trusty sources (Pao and Claire) that the much-liked venue will close by the end of January due to yet undisclosed reasons from Margs, the hip and industrious manager.

Do help us find an alternative venue for the All Tomorrow’s Gimiks event. Don’t hesitate if you happen to know of a good venue or if you don’t mind offering your garage space for some kick-ass listening party/gathering of like-minds/zine reading.

Contact: Erick Sr.: 09284064952 or email us at tictiger[at]gmail[dot]com.

Happy New Year News!

erickfabian — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 08:36:56 +0000

Happy New Year to everyone who reads zines and supports independent media!

The good news so far:

The 3rd installment of that fast-shootin’, over-talkin’ comix hero Johnny Longhand is now done and is off to the printers! Expect more guns, hilarity, blood, gore, explosions, and bad jokes as our hero faces a most challenging villain! There will be a song and dance number!
Erick’s nonfiction zine, SR(senior) , is now on its 3rd issue. Cover still being conceptualized. More true-to-life stories.
New UnderStanding Sound Recordings act, Cerumentric, is now on studio/PC finishing first single. Plans for MySpace Music account, where songs can be downloaded for free.

Other news: Due to the Taiwan earthquake damage, expect some delay over updates and responses. Please bear with us. I know you’re all looking for something exciting to happen here.

TicTiger! #16 is very LATE!

erickfabian — Mon, 18 Sep 2006 12:59:23 +0000

I am really very sorry to all who have been waiting for us to release the 16th issue of TicTiger! this August. I just recovered from a 3-day fever, right after my son had gastroentiritis, and after my wife’s vertigo spell. I am currently busy doing freelance webdesign for a Graduate school, and simply managing family affairs.

Do not fret! We have somehow managed to print a few copies of “The Return of The Transplant”, Erick A. Fabian’s new comix.

Well, better late than never, eh? This new issue of your favorite TicTiger! Productions zine will be promisingly jam-packed with more stuff no other zine has ever had here in Asia!

Featuring interviews with female jazz guitar genius Daisy Chiang, electronic rocker Joy Electric, and science critic/activist/social responsibility proponent Dr. Mae Wan Ho.

There’s more coming. Please bear with us as we move the whole site into WordPress.
