The Diarist Sessions Open Mic #50 - 22 Mar at The Music Parlour
"We record a bit of ourselves in every song that is written as an observation or musing of the times. The songs themselves are an entry in the musical diary of our young country."
"The Diarists" are a collective formed in 2012 to curate spaces for musicians in Singapore to perform with an emphasis on creating environments suitable for musical appreciation.
The Diarist Sessions Open Mic #50 – 22 March 2017
Featuring:
Bryan Chua
Bryan Chua is an aspiring local singer-songwriter, finding his sound on the local music stage with his guitar and loop pedal. Essentially, Bryan is able to perform as a one-man band, be it vocals, guitar or even percussions. His foray into local gigs began in early 2016, though Bryan has actually been writing music for many years prior. His relatable originals are often based on his life or the lives of those around him. Yet most significantly, his songs often have a message or meaning to them, and his main goal is to spread love and hope to the world through his music.

Sulaiman Azim
I'm a closet singer-songwriter, only starting to play at open mics about last year. I play mostly stripped down acoustic versions of songs, and my originals.

Indah Han
I'm 19, 149cm tall, and I sing. I wrote compositions before but recently ventured into songwriting just to be able to express and confront myself a little bit better. My themes can be a little complex yet also very simple. Most of the time, it's about growing up and getting out of the house but once in a while, a love song pops out. I tend to keep my songs to myself like how I keep my real emotions bottled up, but once in a while, it might be nice to just let it out and maybe someday, I can come to terms with the words of my own songs.

Pixel Apartment
8 | 40 continues from 4 | 40. In the cold dark walls of a prison cell, storms rage on in the world outside, and the facility becomes a strange refuge for a single occupant. With a pen and a vivid imagination - Jordan reconstructs the sounds of blips, analog synths, and an imagined a show in is mind - a show where which continued where 2014 left Pixel Apartment - new, yet familiar all again.
