Here is an impression of our collaborative work. A special thanks to Benjamin Low for the video.

||| Movement is now moving on to Part 2, ||| Movement (Shuffle), re-engaging the physical installation and soundscape’s zones for remembering, contemplating and transforming through dance: bodily movements and interaction set against the fragmentation of past relics, the romantic backdrop of Fort Canning Park and the youthful aspirations of the neighbouring collegiate.

Venue: Stamford Green (transitory space between NMS and escalators leading to Fort Canning)
The performance will take place on 3 Dec 2011, 7pm within the installation.

||| Movement Shuffle is presented by Team Aural and activated by dancers Bernice Lee, Catherine Erica Cheok, Chan Jia Ai Christina, Faye Lim, Mafalda Almeida, Neo Yanny Zong, Daniel Sahagun Sanchez, Sherry Tay, Xinyan Wu.

Art Direction by Tang Ling-Nah
Shuffle Sound Score by Zai Tang; Movement Score by Faye Lim

I’ve been composing a piece for Donna Ong’s installation entitled Witness; a piece exploring how we perceive and react to disasters, in particular the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan in March 2011. The work will be shown at The Chapel, Singapore Art Museum from 21st – 30th October.

Over the past few months I’ve been working on a collaborative public art installation, which will be shown from 14th October – 4th November as part of Hub-to-Hub and Archifest 2011. The chosen site for our work is the transitory space between the National Museum of Singapore and escalators leading to Stamford Green and Fort Canning, where the old National Library once stood. The work itself, titled ||| Movement, is a site‐specific installation exploring the cycle of construction, deconstruction and renewal within the city. It comprises three zones―remembering, contemplating and transforming―reminiscent of three movements in a single musical composition. Sound recordings from the urban environment are transformed and fused with architectural elements made from construction waste to create a distinct aural‐spatial experience. The work encourages the public to slow down, stop and contemplate on the perpetual cycle of urban transformation through the act of listening.

We will be launching our project website on 14th October 2011. For more information please visit:

I will be showing Window Music (2009) at Seeing Sound 2, an informal two-day symposium exploring multimedia work which foregrounds the relationship between sound and image. SS2 will be held by the Center for Musical Research, at Bath Spa University – my former Uni. The work I’m showing is a reinterpretation of a piece of music composed entirely from sounds recorded outside of a window in north London. It explores the cyclic nature of sound activity within the environment and the role the soundscape plays in our perception of urban space. To find out more about Seeing Sound, please visit:

Over the past few months in Singapore, myself and a few friends have been organising an exhibition inspired by dreams. I’m extremely eager to finally see everyone’s work in the flesh, and hear the audience’s reactions to it. It’s been a long (but enjoyable) journey! For more info on the show please visit:

Forthcoming gig @ Night & Day, Singapore, on 5th July 2011. Join us for some sonic debauchery!

I will be collaborating with Kai Lam in a performance for the opening of his show at The Substation – 8pm, 22nd June 2011. Kai will be exhibiting new paintings, art objects and sound installation work that he’s been developing over the past two years. In Kai’s words, ‘our collaboration will be attempts to translate the notions of ‘invisibility’ in art and life.’

This is a Brothers Pleasant film starring Mr Jon Paul Mitchell. It was filmed over the course of one night with a Braun Nizo S 800 on Kodak Tri-X Super 8. I had the pleasure of creating the score for this short piece. I took a completely improvised approach, in an attempt to discover how I could apply my turntable explorations to film.
