It has been quite a while since I've put up new works mainly because I've been really busy working, composing music and sound pieces for theatre and dance productions, as well as flying around a little to perform in music festivals. I am truly blessed...
Here's some updates on what I've been busy with:
THE CRAB FLOWER CLUB
(re-stage) by Toy Factory
Directed by Goh Boon Teck
Venue: Drama Centre
Dates: 20/08/09 - 29/08/09
"The pillar of sound for The Crab Flower Club will be Franz Liszt's
Symphonic Poem Les Preludes. This symphonic poem is a pure display of
emotion, and subtle on depiction of messages and meanings. This symphonic poem was composed during
the era of this play, the fusion brings sensitivity of the west into an
oriental story. The music will be treated with contemporary sound
design and reinterpreted by multi award-winning sound designer Darren Ng."
Esplanade Presents, a da:ns Festival 2009 Residency and Commission:
VOID
Jendela Peradaban (Window of Civilisation)
by Boi Sakti & T.H.E Dance Company (Indonesia & Singapore)
Venue: Esplanade Studio Theatre
Dates: 23/10/09 - 24/10/09
"If our souls were the windows of civilisation, what would they reveal? In VOID,
choreographer Boi Sakti confronts the moral decay and hypocrisy
engulfing society and calls into question the very meaning of
‘civilisation’. The soul is wounded. Conscience has fallen into a black
hole. Principle and reason have given way to greed and falsities. There
is a tragic loss of humanity despite claims of greater openness in a
civilised world. This affecting and insightful work examines these
distortions and seeks to contextualise them.
The
world premiere is performed by T.H.E Dance Company led by artistic
director Kuik Swee Boon, and features award-winning sound designer
Darren Ng. At once powerful and poetic, VOID throws the windows wide open and compels you to face what is really there."
