Biyahe Tayo
"Biyahe Tayo" is a song used by Philippine Department of Tourism (DoT) in connection with its "Wow Philippines...Biyahe Tayo" program. The song highlights the top destinations in Philippines and was aimed to increase everyone's awareness of the beauty of the Philippines and also encourage Filipinos, especially those who have gone to live overseas, to travel in their own country and experience those amazing destinations in their own homeland.
The music was composed by ex-Rivermaya frontman Rico Blanco and Rizal Underground's Mike Villegas, while the lyrics was penned by Rene Nieva, president of Bonamine's PR agency Perceptions. The music video was directed by Noel Nieva, executive vice president of Perceptions.
Lending their voices to this fabulous song are artists like Sharon Cuneta, Freddie Aguilar, Rey Valera, Lea Salonga, Apo Hiking Society, Janno Gibbs, Paolo Santos, Jolina Magdangal, April Boy Regino, Rico J. Puno, Ogie Alcasid, Jessa Zaragosa, Francis M, Nina, and Rico Blanco.
Also contributing their musical talents to this song were leading violinist John Lesaca, flutist Jhong Cuenco and Joey Ayala, who used ethnic instruments giving the song a distinct Filipino sound while retaining its catchy danceable beat.

Music Of The Future
Yamaha, the same company that produces pianos and motorcycles, had come up with a brand new music making concept. Named Tenori-on, the odd-looking musical instrument looks more like a tablet PC with a 16x16 grid of white LED's. The lights can be seen from both the front and the back of the device, making it more visually simulating not just to the player, but to the audience as well. The Tenori-On is meant to be programmed both musically and visually. In fact, you can program the music, and then go back and program a customized visual sequence to complement what you’ve composed.
Although introduced way back in 2005, it was only recently been made available to the public. Initial sales were made in the UK last September, and while there's not much enthusiasm with the consumer, it's just a matter of time before the instrument will find it's way to popular music. For DJs and producers it is a unique performance tool enabling them to perform using MIDI and load the TENORI-ON with samples to jam or improvise within their set BPMs.
