long days and a lull

I’ve missed Spring so much. The particular texture of the late afternoon sunshine, the birdsongs, the explosion of colours in the parks and on the quiet streets in my neighbourhood. I think I’ve really missed seasons more than I thought I would admit when I was in Singapore, and coming back to them just made [ READ MORE ]

Hunted by a freak

When the kids are away, the machines come out and play. This is my favourite song from one of my all-time favourite bands. Mogwai came twice in Singapore, and my label brought them the second time around. They played ‘Hunted by a freak’ on both occasions if I remember correctly, but I would never tire of [ READ MORE ]

getting there

Some late night tweaking and looping, based on elements from ‘Pumpkinseed’. The video and the music are unedited, and what you hear is what you get (right hand playing, left hand filming, Launchpad looping…) A lot more things can happen with 2 hands on deck, so I’ll ditch the camera for the show, don’t worry! My first [ READ MORE ]

Home alone with two gremlins (after midnight, or why 11.1.11)

I’m calling it an early night. It’s 12:30 AM, and I know that bedtime is relative. I can’t remember the last time i went to bed before midnight. Usually late evenings would be the ideal part of the day to get productive these days. Afternoons are good too, when I don’t have to teach. But [ READ MORE ]

1.1.11: the Raleigh EP

of new beginnings Raleigh EP by amberhaze (these are the first two tracks of the EP, still in their unmastered stage) I’ve been trying to finish up this new batch of songs for a few weeks now, and it turns out that being a full-time father is way more taxing and demanding than most jobs [ READ MORE ]

Howland

Howland by amberhaze ———————- I’ve been recording more of late, and a lot of the music seems to be inspired by the time i spend walking and cycling in Toronto. The Fall is also affecting me in ways that I had forgotten, and while I tend to get more introverted this time of [ READ MORE ]

pumpkin seed

Pumpkinseed by amberhaze This is the first track that I’ve managed to complete since I’ve arrived. There are a few more in the works, but for some reason, this one seemed to almost record itself. It’s still mostly a demo, but I think I got the kind of sound I was imagining [ READ MORE ]

Passacaille

The good days of summer are definitely over, even though we still have the occasional hot spell, or the unexpected burst of sunshine. Mostly, though, Fall is in full swing. The tree outside my studio window is almost bare, which means I can now see the tip of the CN Tower. Not that I really [ READ MORE ]
