More Music

Cut Me Off This Hand That I May Sleep

I don't usually like posting ideas on here that probably won't see the light of day for months/years.

That being said, I am hoping to record some new songs at some point. I am so horrifically limited in so many ways (time, gear, ability), that it will be interesting to see where/if this thing goes.

Should I manage to gather enough songs together for an EP, I am 99% sure that it will be titled Cut Me Off This Hand That I May Sleep.

Fruit of the Spirit

Fruit of the Spirit

Freechurch Toronto is running a series of sermons on the Fruit of the Spirit.

As part of the series, members of the church performed nine songs in and around the St. Stephen-in-the-Fields building. These performances were recorded, and each week a new video is being featured at the Freechurch website.

This is a fun and exciting project, and there are many talented people involved. Many thanks go to Darryl Augustine, for doing all of the filming and editing, and to Kevin Makins for his assistance.

I will update the links below as each video is released:

Elissa Mielke - LOVE
Andrew Huang - JOY
Trent Hunter - PEACE
Chris Graham - PATIENCE
Ill Seer - KINDNESS
Their Shallow Valley - GOODNESS
Esther Bowser - FAITHFULNESS
Shad K - GENTLENESS
Deep Red Jewels - SELF-CONTROL

Music / Video

On Wednesday I stopped by Saint Stephens in the Fields after work. Darryl Augustine is shooting a series of videos of different musicians playing in and around the building. The videos will accompany a series of sermons on the fruit of the Holy Spirit, and should be ready some time in the new year.

I was a little nervous about playing, but things went well. Darryl is very good at what he does, and the grace and peace of God helped too! Thanks also go to Kevin Makins, who is helping Darryl with the filming.

There are a lot of talented people working on the project, and I am looking forward to seeing the results. Check out some of Darryl's work here.

Bloorcourt Bus Stop

Bloorcourt street banners should be going up on Bloor street sometime within the next week. In addition to my banner design, I also threw together a layout for a bus shelter ad announcing the street banners.

Thanks go to Ghazaleh Etezal, who is responsible for making this project happen.

Hopefully I will have some pictures soon!

Over the weekend, I uploaded a new version of my dad's website. As is always the case, I didn't spend enough time on this.

But something is (often) better than nothing, and since his book is now finished and available for order online, it couldn't wait.

God Bless Africa

It's the World

Let's continue with the embarrassing and poorly recorded older material, shall we?

This song was written after I moved to Canada, and this recording is old (some of the lyrics and even small bits of melody have since evolved slightly).

The song is about moving from one country to another; by this time I had done this twice. Memories, attitudes and impressions all change and evolve with time. Culture is learned and unlearned, and responses to differences can be learned and unlearned too.

God Bless Africa

The Best We Can

image stolen from theGreySweatshirtRevolution.com

I was listening to some really old recordings of songs, half-songs, and rough sketches of half-songs. Despite the fact that they are all pretty embarrassing, I decided to post something here, if for no other reason than to add some 'new' material to this perpetually neglected site.

Moving to America at age 15 meant playing the part of the oblivious highschool new-kid-in-town. In retrospect, this was not all bad; I remember a strange lack of prejudice (it was impossible to explain the term redneck to us when we first arrived) and an empathy that came from being so culturally unaware. So despite the lonely sentiment, to me this song also has a certain hopefulness.

Also, No Match Man was a real nickname I earned (briefly), due to my typically south african fashion sense (see image above). And Killer really was a guy in my homeroom class.

The Best We Can
