Augustman Malaysia Magazine - May 2023

In this issue

As digital and smart technologies continue to be refined and metastasize to every facet of human life, we couldn’t help but wonder if people are in fact becoming stronger and more dexterous as a species, or are we simply losing the human touch and manual skills?

Be that as it may, we also couldn’t help but notice that analogue practices and tools are making a comeback among a new generation of abled youths. Augustman has reached out to a handful few for more insights into their individual metiers ranging from the art of journalling and leather craft to pottery, pen-making, calligraphy and so forth, bringing you a more holistic view of the importance of making the most of human artistry in everyday life.

Taking center stage on the cover of Augustman in May 2023 is indie singer-songwriter and a central figure in the country’s open-mic circuit, not to mention an Augustman Men of the Year laureate - the frontman of The Frankie Sixes, Reza Salleh. In our exclusive catch-up with Reza, the talented artist brings us up to date on his off-the-beaten-path evolution over the past decade, from folk and pop rock to swing jazz, to the official release of the band’s eponymous debut album this month.
