thank you so much for your support peoples!!! can't wait to start gigging again...Talks have been underway on working on an Acoustic album...keeping fingers crossed and prayers aplenty... :)

Much needed rest

2009-08-28T17:15:00.002+08:00

Hello peoples!!!how have you all been holding up?
Sorry for the lack of updates on this blog...truth is...we've been extremely busy...not with the band but with our own lives...havent seen the rest of the band mates for like 3 weeks now...(with exception to the Bird..of whom i had lunch with the other day...)
for all of you who have no idea yet, Altered Frequency is officially on a break for the rest of 2009....reason being..We're just really really really tired... :)
We realised that its about time where we take a step back from all the usual hoo-ha's on gigging, and recording stuff...its time for us to start sitting back and thinking about our direction as a band...are we trully still running the vision AF set 9 years ago...
A good time of rest and reflection... :)
I am personally missing the gigging life already...i mean not like we used to gig every week...haha...but the sheer feeling of anxiety just before heading out on stage...and just the thoughts and ideas flowign through your mind before you start a song...personally..cant wait to gig again...

Please do not stop visitting this blog tho..we will be updating from time to time on the updates of the band and its material....

Take care and God BLess peoples...

Adios..

~TerryBerry~

Touched by an iPod

2009-07-08T12:19:00.004+08:00

we got the opportunity to play at Apple's Mac Discovery Week exhibition held at Midvalley Megamall, centrecourt.
to be honest with ya i was really really freakin out when i got the news that we were asked to play 2 songs using ONLY the iPod touch..haha..its like learning a whole new instrument....now after playing with it for a couple of weeks...i cant seem to stop..hahaha...
the gig was awesome..playing in the shopping mall was a totally different experience...in a good way..its like having waves of crowd but their not really there? i dont know how to really explain it...but yea..we wanna thank ALL of you who showed up and gave us your support...we definitely needed it.. :)
here are some pictures of the event...i know its not much...but its wat i have so far... :)

This was our stage..was pretty cramped...but seeing Agnel using the E.Drums was worth it.. :P

Kysern@The bird

Ladies & Gentlemen, this is a REALLY REALLY rare picture of DG smiling on stage...

TerryBerry....nothing much to say about myself except, why in the world did i wear this shirt?!?!?!

And finally our iPod Touch performance... :)

That's it from us for now...till the next log..

Of gigs and Life

2009-01-17T14:35:00.002+08:00

hello friends!!!!
January was a mega blast for the band...we ended 2008 with a bang at The Curve's New Years Eve Party..it was really really awesome..and we are honoured to be given the oppurtunity to rock it out with all of you during that event...So far we've played at Groove Junction's Monday Night Rock show...I have to say, its my first time ever playing a set at Groove Junction...it' also my first time seeing rock bands play at that venue...normally used for jazz or lounge kind of bands..it was always going to be interesting seeing rock bands play at that venue...

the place was jam packed by 9.30pm...we made loads of new friends...notably, the guys from Scene At The Movies...nice Malaysian born lads who are currently based in Melbourne...go check their myspace out at http://www.myspace.com/sceneatthemovies...

Up next we'll be playing a set at Taylor's University College for their orientation party...looking forward to it...it's always nice playing to a young crowd...makes you feel young....hehe....

Now i'm pretty sure you must be wondering why i put such an emo sounding header to this post...well, let's just say that i have been doing a lot of thinking about the whole music and band scene here in Malaysia...and my conclusion, it is absolutely HARD to be a musician here in Malaysia...Try playing gigs, going for practices, going for meetings with record labels and distributors and in the daytime, work a normal day job to earn a living....trust me..you will feel burnt out after awhile.....that kind of bums me out, because there are so many AWESOME local BANDS here in Malaysia that deserve to be putting their music out there to the world, but because of the limitations that musicians have, achieving their true potential becomes secondary in life...that's just so so so sad...

I believe that we were put here on this earth to do and achieve GREAT things in life...i do not think that we were just put here to do mediocre and average things in life, like get a day job...earn enough money to survive for the month and IF there's time...go and play a gig....i believe that if we were given a talent to do something....we can do GREAT AND AWESOME things with that gift....

ANYYYYYYYYYYYWAYS....before i go on ranting like a little boy...i pray that someday, i'll be able to look back at my life and say..."WOW...i didnt live a mediocre life".. :)
thanks for reading this and supporting our band...you guys rawk!!!

A LOUD CHRISTMAS GIG

2008-12-18T01:56:00.002+08:00

Heyahs everyone!!!!
December has been nothign short of amazing so far. Finally holding the album in our hands has been quite surreal actually if you ask me...the best thing about it all is getting all the support from friends, fans and most of all family has been overwhelming....
So far, we've played in a Christmas Dinner organised by UCSI. Played a couple of songs at the City Harvest church KL Service...Both gigs were fun and the organisers we're very very warm and hospitable...It feels good going back to gigging again... :)

Our upcoming gigs, playing alongside with our 440 records family members, Liang and Juwita Suwito (WOOOHOOO) at a christmas concert entitled A LOUD CHRISTMAS held at the His Sanctuary of Glory Church in OUG, KL. Do drop by...the concert's gonna be a blast!!! :)Starts at 8.30pm...hope to see you guys there.

gonna hit the decks now...good nite friends..

-TerryBerry-

IT IS FINALLY HERE!!!!!

2008-12-01T10:20:00.008+08:00

WOOHOOO!!!! The first batch of our 2nd album "Transit" has just arrived.

You can get a copy of it at CanaanLand and soon at most Glad Sounds outlets for now.

Will be available at most music store outlets soon. (Fingers Crossed) :)

So please do get a copy of our 2nd album yea...

-TerryBerry-

IT'S A FINALLY COMING!!!!

2008-11-26T15:40:00.002+08:00

dear readers...ITS FINALLY COMING!!!!sigh....i know we say this a lot about our 2nd album..but this time its really really coming...we got the Mastering side done and now the album's are being packed as we speak...should arrive in a week's time...so excited!!!!!not so much for the fact that album's coming out, but more for the fact that we get to do shows again...really miss playing in gigs and hanging out with you guys!!!!so keep a look out for our shows and join us in rockin out!!! :)

-TerryBerry-

It's been a rollercoaster ride!!!!

2008-09-10T16:24:00.003+08:00

hello friends...

It's been quite a ride so far...from turning in the hours at the studio to finish up the songs in the upcoming album (which is gonna be SUPER...in my opinion), turning down gigs for the past 2 months (which we have never ever done before), getting a new band member (the dude who's writing this post right now..hehe) to getting the final touches done to releasing our album...who would have guessed that coming out with a simple album would require so much time and effort.....but its all worth it...cos i think it sounds great....maybe im being biased..hehe...oh well..you guys be the judge....

Now a little bit about myself..My name's Terry Yeow..the guys call me Terry Berry...you can call me that...bt i would definitely prefer that you just call me Terry in public..heheh....i'm working in a private university, handling events and counseling students...i love God and i'm not ashamed to say it in public... so yea..that's basically Terry in a nutshell...please do come and say hi if you ever catch me at one of our gigs...i love meeting people... :) anyways...i've known the guys for a number of years now and i've never said this to them before...but i have always looked up to them as my big brothers...(maybe its also because im the youngest in the band)...so playing and making music with them is such an honour for me..... i heart you guys... :)

Gonna sign off now...got some work to finish up before i meet the designer for our album cover...i'm seriously looking forward to gigging again..and i hope to meet and get to know you there...take care friends...

Blessings - TerryBerry-

A Tribute to Grandma Bird

2007-05-16T11:11:00.000+08:00

Every once in a while we are forced to face with the harsh realities of life. One of those realities is that life is but a vapor and we all pass on someday. This post serves as a tribute to the grandmother of one of our bandmates, Kysern. She passed away peacefully on May 12, 2007.

Kysern, please accept our condolences. Our prayers are with you and your family.

We had a FANTASTIC time in AYA Fest, if you were there, we hope you had brought some awesome experience home with you. For some of us in the band, this Fest has impacted us, in many different ways.

To cut the story short, here are are few short clips of what's coming in our second album!

Awesome stuff!

2007-01-29T20:43:00.000+08:00

Hey guys,

FLYFM!

This past few weeks have been really awesome for us. Lots of challenges and definitely lots of blessings as well! Did you know we were voted FIRST in Fly Fm's Campur Charts for THREE consecutive weeks? We are just in awe at how much you guys out there are supporting our music and it gets better when Nina (the host of Fly Fm's Campur Charts) mentioned that we have received enormous amount of votes for our song NO, and that is why we are where we are today because of YOU, and because of YOU, we have made this possible together!!!!!

For those who have been faithfully voting and supporting us in every way possible, continue to do so, and for those who haven't... well it's time to, eh?! Hehe.. [The request link is found on the left hand panel!] ;)

SECOND ALBUM

Another update on our progress, we are now even more hyped than before! All of us are currently working extremely hard to make this one killer album possible and we are now 30% to completion!!!!! So stay tuneddd guys, this album is DEFINITELY gonna rock!!

AYA FESTIVAL

Also, REMEMBER that AYA Festival is just around the corner, and if you are planning to go, or as any typical Malaysians will come up with last minute decisions, you can purchase your ticket at the entrance! Isn't that convenient? BUT be sure to be there early!!! You don't want to squeeze through a gazillion people, and of course you do not want to lose out on good seats too! SO BE THERE EARLY, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, BE THERE!

We believe this festival will change your life forever. Something not to be missed, and festivals like this does not come by often! SO mark your calendar, plan your transport, and be there!

Who knows we will stand by the entrance to greet you personally?!

WWW.MYSPACE.COM/ALTEREDFREQUENCY

Yes, we have finally created our own MySpace account. All of us cleared out our Saturday morning for this, and after the hard grueling work, we continued with the best Klang Bah Kut Teh. It was one satisfying Saturday morning! Although, the site still need a little extra work, but while we work further on it, feel free to add us and pass on the good news! =)

Again, we want to shout out a heartfelt thanks for all the support and love shown! ;)

Btw, we'll be playing brand new songs from our coming second album for AYA Fest!

Sizzling News!

Some of you may have realised that we are no longer with Oops-Asia (our previous label) but we have moved on to new pasture. AF is now part of a new record label called Four Fourty Records (website to be available soon). This is a new label that is gonna be on the cutting edge and a label for artistes who have a powerful message of hope that needs to be shared even outside the church. Our current label mates with Four Fourty Records are Juwita Suwito (2nd album to be released soon) and Liang - The award winning R&B Hip Hop artiste.

Right after Christmas, we will be working hard to bring you the long promised album of ours. So while it is Boxing Day for you, we will be hitting the studio with a new sound! We are all geared up to record out hearts out and to make Transit a killer album. We hope you will like it as much as we do!

AYA Festival with Delirious - WOW!

2006-02-11T18:48:00.000+08:00

Delirious - first time ever in Malaysia. We've been waiting for years. They've finally come, and they claim they're coming back (read about it here). We wouldn't mind. Their performance at the Putra Indoor Stadium on Feb 2, 2o06 was mindblowing. To hear the band sing classics like History Maker, Deeper, I Could Sing of Your Love Forever, and more recent classics like Rain Down, My Glorious, and Majesty was just... well... beyond comprehension. Check out some post event stuff at www.ayafestival.com. We heard that planning for AYA Festival 2007 (possibly with MercyMe - tbc) is already underway. We can't wait! Meanwhile, here's some pics from AYA Festival 2006:

Snapshots from Miri

2005-09-05T17:12:00.000+08:00

Miri Rocked!

2005-08-23T18:52:00.000+08:00

Oh yes, it did. 3 nights that left us wanting more. It's things like these that moves us on, and encourages us not to give up. The Free2Be Youth Rally in Miri, Sarawak was life changing. We saw 291 first time salvation decisions over the 3 nights (it was a Christian event). Over 1700 people packed up the hall the first two nights, and then 2000 over people flooded the final night. Some had to be outside of the hall! To see so many young people touched and transformed in their hearts by their Maker was the highlight of the trip. Nothing beats hearing someone come up to us and say, "What you shared really impacted me. I'll never look down on myself again." Simply amazing. God is more than amazing. Again and again He proves Himself faithful. We had to face some challenges (weary bodies, Andy and his chest pains, little sleep, sound system, etc.), but in spite of all that, God moved. And we'll keep on moving too...

Watch out this space for pictures from our incredible trip to Miri... we just need some time to sort them all out!

Next gig... this Friday (August 26) at Subang Assembly of God, SS13. See you all there?

AF on the WWW

2005-08-08T18:34:00.000+08:00

Whassup, friends!

Battle of the Bands was one cool experience! Besides the responsive crowd, and the fact that we were performing on the musiccanteen truck for the very first time, we brought home with us many M&M's goodies! Haha! Our favourite would be the M&M's dispenser! You gotta see for yourself to know how cute it actually is! Thanks, M&M's! We don't yet have pictures from the gig, but when we do, we'll try to post them up here.

Altered Frequency was interviewed by Lilian Loo of genesis-people.com, and they've put the interview up on their site. Do check it out at http://www.genesis-people.com/lifestyle.htm

Schedule Updates & Kysern back from USA

2005-06-23T10:37:00.000+08:00

Kysern's back from the USA! Yes, in one piece, though he had a little bit of a back problem while he was there. Please pray for him, so we can see Kysern fully back in action again soon! Here's a pic of him in Time Squares, New York.

So what has else the rest been up to, besides recording the 2nd album...?

Agnel: Loaded with work, as usual, but also busy preparing for his trip to Australia. He'll be away in Melbourne from June 30 and will return to KL on July 10. Then he flies off again to Sydney from July 17 to 23, then back again for more recording!

Andy: Has been hard at work managing Flatfish Communications. Some of their latest website projects are http://www.theactschurch.org and the latest online magazine in cyberspace, http://www.think.com.my Since you're already online, check them out! :) He's also been busy writing new materials for the 2nd album... or maybe even the 3rd?

Daniel: Daniel has got his hands tied up as well... not with ropes, but with some clay modelling. It's too bad we can't show you some of the models he's created as it's private & confidential for now. But we'll say as much as he's made a really cute beaver and a really cute frog. Maybe you'll see them on a t-shirt or sold in a toy store some day? :) Besides that, he's also been collecting cooking recipes and looking in a new business venture as well!

David: Well, David's been gathering recipes as well... but these are not recipes for cooking good food, but recipes for forming a good band and performing great music with great attitudes! DG (as we so fondly call him) is in the midst of preparing a "Band/Music Cookbook." Do watch out for it! :)

Kysern is currently in the United States of America! He left on May 21 (DDM's birthday!), and will be back on June 4th. And the rest of us are still here in Klang Valley! We're busy recording our 2nd album, while Kysern's having the time of his life in New York or something. Haha.. just kidding. Well, we miss you Kysern. When you get back, you've got lots of catching up to do! :)

Happy Birthday, Daniel!

2005-05-21T19:18:00.000+08:00

On May 21, ** years ago, Daniel Wong was born! We just wanna wish DDM (Dan da Man) a very blessed and fantastic birthday! It's just so wonderful to have you as a bandmate, but most importantly a brother and a friend. Can't imagine life without you... and we're serious!

Love,
From the rest of us in AF

p/s: Anybody wanna guess Daniel's age? :)

Here's some interesting stuff that you may or may not know about the AF members:

Agnel Raj - his dad is Ceylonese and his mom is Nyonya. Did you ever guess that?
Andy Yeoh - he's got Siamese blood in him and he currently loves teh o limau panas
Daniel Wong - loves watching cook shows e.g. The Naked Chef
David Gary - he's a Star Wars fan... or should we say fanatic?
Kysern Lim - a coffee lover... San Francisco Coffee also can... Kopi O at the mamak also can...

And the band's favorite makan place at the moment...

Japanese Buffet at Saisaki!!!

Yeah, not a very good picture--doesn't do the restaurant justice, but you can go and have a try yourself :)

AIM 2005 (a little late but...)

With Juwita Suwito & Disagree:

The Band*:

*Kysern couldn't be with us because he had to be in Johore for his grandfather's funeral. His grandfather passed away just days before the AIM. We were really sad Kysern couldn't be there with us. Our deepest condolences to Kysern & family.

Moving Along

2005-05-11T00:29:00.000+08:00

Here are some pictures from the HEAL THE NATION Concert at GTPJ on May 1, 2005. Pictures courtesy of Nick Tay.

The crowd at the concert was massive:

Kysern doing his thing:

David Gary doing his thing:

Here's the band posing:

We've been busy with different things--both in our individual lives and in the band as a whole. The second album is still in the works. There'll be a recording session this Thursday. We'd most probably be doing some guide tracks as well as drums. Definitely getting more and more exciting by the day! Oh, Andy just wrote a new song called "Turn Around."

Need some feedback here:
1. Any title ideas for our 2nd album, anyone? (Besides The Return of Altered Frequency, Altered Frequency Again, Altered Frequency Reprise, etc.)

2. Should we have our faces on the cover in the next album? :P

By the way, we've just been confirmed for Sonic Fest 2005 in Singapore this July! Guess who else is going to be performing? Sonicflood, Planet Shakers, and Hillsong United! Check it out at http://www.sonicfest.net (There are pictures of us from last year's festival too)

2005-04-13T11:44:00.000+08:00

Here's another chance for us to "redeem" ourselves! We shall not be nervous! Haha... yea right... we'll try. If we end up being nervous again, forgive us :)

On Friday (April 15) at 11PM, we'll be on the Late Net Show on Hitz FM with Juwita Suwito as guests of Phat Fabes. It'd be our 2nd radio interview, but our first in Hitz FM! Do tune in (92.9 in the Klang Valley) if you can :)

AIM 2005

2005-03-25T16:00:00.000+08:00

Guess what? We've just been nominated for "Best New Local English Artist" for AIM 2005! We're still trying to let that sink in, though. Ask us 10 years before, and we'd be laughing at the thought. "AIM? Us?" We weren't even a band 10 years ago! Of course, it's just a nomination. We haven't won the award or anything. But for us, it's a pretty big deal already. We can only thank the Lord above for opening such significant doors for us. We can only look forward to greater things now, but we also realize that it comes with great responsibility...

To those who's been with us throughout our journey as a band, thank you. Thank you for sticking with us and supporting us. Thank you most of all for your prayers and belief in us. We hope this will go a long way.

Oh, before we sign off... thank GOD it's Good Friday!

We're back!

2005-03-07T02:07:00.000+08:00

Nearly a year later... we are back with a new desire to update and maintain this blog! Most of the world don't even know this blog exists. Heck, most of the band members also do not know! But now we do, and those who has access to the internet on a more consistent level will TRY to update this (and the Oops website, and the forum, and any other areas that need our attention) on a more regular basis. How about that? :)

char kuey teow, praise, inspiration...

2004-03-16T12:28:00.000+08:00

Our tour to Penang was absolutely awesome! Thanks to T.O.P, T.O.G, Trinity Methodist, GBC, & SANDS for their hospitality & generosity! Can't wait to go back to the island again! The concert on Sat nite (Mar13) was really touching for us. To see so many young lives respond to God was the greatest reward a band like us could ever get... greater than any CD sale or recognition! After all is said and done, it's still all about Jesus & changed lives!

the beginning...

2004-03-16T12:23:00.000+08:00

Don't know if we'll ever use this or if this will be a regular thing, but thought we'd give it a try anyway...
