Here's my rendition of this originally piano-based piece from the movie Secret. Short as it may be, I hope you like it.

路小雨

Premiered during Digital Nonya Sayang, Nonya Cantik is a modern rework of a ribald patun (Malayan Poetry) transcribed by Benjamin Ang's grandfather.

The candid subject of a man infatuated with a courtesan, evoked the Language of Toronto's strained masculinity strip-club anthems.

To let younger audiences have a frame of reference, I turned the original instrumentation from its traditional form into contemporary production standards and avoid essentializing certain sounds as obiang Malayan 'culture' (or whatever culture means).

-----
Contains audio mangling of "Dondang Sayang" from "Longing for the Past: The 78 rpm Era in Southeast Asia", performed by Miss Rohani, Pancharan Muda Kr. Party, And The Chap Ayam Orkest. 

Vocals performed by Samantha from Apple OSX.

Guitars and Piano performed by Foreign Affairs.

Nonya Cantik (Live at NUS Baba House)

The Morning Routine is conjured with the concept of the everyday morning get around. Sounds samples of tooth brushing, flushing toilets, chewing on toasts and cars whizzing past are several of the extensive collection of sounds contributing to the flow of the piece.

Mura Masa - Lotus Eater (Tonton Remix)

Finally something that's more or less complete. Simple, but complete at least.

Y'all are free to spit rhymes over this beat, heh

Humilis Opus 1 | "Azaleas"

So I recently decided to collaborate with @suzsenz to cover this song. Hope you guys like it. (:

Three Hunters

I dunno, I guess I was trying to blend a bit of bossa nova with a bit of drum & bass? In any case this turned out pretty interesting, and was fun to mess around with :D

Humilis Opus 2 | "Robusta"

If you've been to the @Emusiclaboratories / @emusiclab Welcome Tea 2016, this *might* sound familiar... in fact this is a more developed and polished version of the demo I played that night. The idea of adding strings popped up halfway through the "fleshing out" of the demo, and I'm glad I followed through with that idea :)

Humilis Opus 3 | "Clary"

Part of the set I played for NUS' Spectrum Music Festival organised by EML on 8 October 2016. Was fun putting a new spin on my previous Humilis Opera 1 & 2. First one especially experienced a big overhaul!
