"Today Is..." (2008)
In November 1987, A.M.'s mother shelled out $30 to rent a top-of-the-line RCA video camera, and interviewed her two sons, aged 8 and 10. She asked them about their likes and dislikes, their plans for the future, their everyday life.
Inspired by British director Michael Apted’s “Up” series, she continued to interview her sons every five years, eager to document the changes in their personalities and mentalities as they grew up.
In November 2007, 20 years after that first recording, A.M. revisited those tapes, and used the storyline of two decades of family life as the emotional basis for his new electronic album, weaving sound clips from the interviews together with the mixture of live instruments, synthesizers and samples that define A.M.'s sound.

"Underground" (2006)
To create this album, A.M. spent hours upon hours in Toronto’s subway system, recording the everyday ambient noise, fleeting conversations, and general hectic happenings that define life underground in a big city. Soundbites from these recordings were then thrown into the mix of samples and live instruments that have become the signature of A.M.’s music. The result is an album that reflects the personality of the subway system itself: at times hypnotic, at times frantic, at times meditative; equal parts human and surreal.

"This Is Me, Dancing" (2005)
A.M.'s debut album.
This project began in 2001, when A.M.'s previous rock band, Oberlin, acquired a computer for recording purposes. A.M. found that he could make clever little songs by cutting and pasting bits and pieces of other songs together, and then adding his own guitar or voice to the mix.
A.M. made a few songs in this way over the years, until, in 2005, he discovered that enough material had accumulated to merit a full album.
Features live instrument cameo appearances by Drew Heinmiller, Phil Carmichael, Marty Smyth, Mike Fallow, and Meghan Roberts.
