An Ode to Cliché | Collaboration with Brothers Pleasant
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.
All Lines Flow Out | Collaboration with Charles Lim
I composed the sound for the trailers above. Charles Lim’s work All Lines Flow Out, was shown in the Singapore Biennale 2011, at the Old Kallang Airport site.
Ah! | Collaboration with Charwei Tsai
For “A Tapestry of Sacred Music”, Charwei Tsai was invited to create a public work at the Esplanade Tunnel Link. Tsai transformed the Tunnel into a path illuminated with words of inspiration and the sounds of Singaporeans singing the word “AH”, which I helped her to record and compose. “AH” is a sacred sound that many major religions in Singapore and around the world embrace; “A-llah”, “A-men”, “A-mitabah”, “A-lleluia”, and “A-OM”. This work aspires to connect a sense of inner peace that is within us all.
Photoperiod Picadilly | Collaboration with Rupert Burton
I collaborated recently with Rupert Burton on the above work entitled Photoperiod Picadilly. The film shows fluctuating intensity of environmental light in Piccadilly Circus over a 24 hour period, using real world lighting data. I had the pleasure of creating sound design / music for it.
2012 | Collaboration with Varvara Zaytseva
I did the sound design for this is a piece by Varvara Zaytseva. 2012 is a letterpress project debating the costs of the upcoming London Olympics. The zeros in the growing budget are substituted with the spherical ‘O’ of Gill Sans, referencing the Olympic circles.
This project was exhibited at the St. Bride event ‘Letterpress: A Celebration’ (November 2008) and ‘The Changing Face of Letterpress’ exhibition (March 2009), as well as shown at the College Art Association Annual Conference in Chicago in February 2010.
