( Have to clear all these in 2 weeks)
I was shocked, someone called and wanted to order 50
Swiftlet sounds from me. Yes, he wants
all my Swiftlet sound collections especially the GS (Galaxy star) series and
the B series. Whatever Swiftlet sound I have he wants it. This is ridiculous, but it is true. I
have not met this guy before. He seems to know lots about me. Claimed that he
reads my blog since 2008. He has many Swiftlet farms all over South East Asia,
and most are located in Indonesia.
Out of curiosity I asked him, “Why are you so interested in all
my Swiftlet sound collections.
He replied, “ Your Swiftlet sound is very special and
unique”.
I was flattered by his reply and asked him again, “Isn’t
the market has lots of Swiftlet sound now? He replied, “Yes
but your Gs series still the best”.
He could anytime get a duplicate copy of the Gs series from
friends, but what he wanted is the original from me. He knew that every
Swiftlet sound that I had sold is specially edited and mixed, and not a single
one is identical.
He must have noticed this from the sounds his friends
bought. It is interesting to have someone like this who could differentiate
them.
He is here for a week
to attend some business conference.He wanted to collect them in a week's
time and bring it back to Indonesia. This is crazy, I need time, it takes me
averagely at least 2 days to remix and edit one single sound. Now he wants 50 Swiftlet sounds in a week. I told
him I need 2 weeks for this otherwise no deal!
If I am going to do this I will make sure he gets what
he pays for. I need time to make good quality sounds. I told him, once I had
completed remixing the sound I will courier it to him.
He agreed and wanted to meet up with me. So we meet up at
the hotel lobby where he stayed.
He talks most of the time. He spoke about his experience
Swiftlet farming dating back in the early eighties. Claiming how wonderful it
was during that time and everything was so easy. He is quite elderly and is a
nice person. When I spoke with him earlier through the
phone, it doesn’t sound like him. He doesn’t sound that old. I told
him he must have eaten lots of Birds Nests.
“I may have a lot of experiences in Swiftlet farming but when it comes
to sound recording,computer editing and
the electronic gadgets I surrender. We need people like you”, he
claimed.
I was again flattered by his comment. We spoke for an hour
in the lobby. He insisted to buy me dinner. Well I just have to oblige ….. He
is a nice person anyway.
Now I have to finish 50 sounds in 2 weeks. It is a head
cracking job! After this insomnia will set in….the frequency of the Swiftlet
sound affects our sleep. It happens to me all the time…I don’t know about
you guys.
Good Swiftlet farming All!
