In 2013 Hauschilde released an album of his own compositions, Beginning of the Long Dash.[7] [8] [9] That year he helped to produce a compilation album as part of Vancouver radio station 102.7FM's annual PEAK Performance Project battle of the bands contest.[10]
By 2014 he was living on Bowen Island, while continuing his production work at Fader Master Studios in Vancouver. By 2016 he was operating his own studio on Bowen Island.[11]
