Hi everyone,

We've got a sound art gig happening next Wednesday.
It's the second in the Hadaka series. Lionel Tan (T'ang Quartet)
will be performing alongside sound art laptop musicians.
Should be an interesting mix.

Hope you can join us

Hadaka is a series of four sound performances featuring acclaimed local and international artists and producers. The central concept of Hadaka is reduction and subtraction, hence its name: to strip down, to denude. The four performances also correspond to the four-colour subtractive model of the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) colour standard. By tearing away the embellishments of structure in music – the ordered configurations of tonality, melody and and rhythm – and reducing it to
its most primal elements.

Join us for a second installation of the Hadaka sound art series. Magenta further explores the reductive and the subtractive, first introduced in the successful opening, Cyan.

Featuring an assembly of notable sound art producers, Hadaka: M emphasises tonality and continuity through a relay of six solo performances of about twenty minutes each. The presentation of this collusion of sound and method through five bridging segments aims to reduce not only the sonic elements of each individual performance but to subtract the individuality of the performer. This is achieved through the lateral extension of the solo performances, creating a miasmic plateau that is neither hierarchical nor subjective.

Hadaka is conceived by Yuen Chee Wai, researched by Alwyn Lim and Alex Goh.

Hadaka: M, the second in the series, presents a variety of generative techniques & methods, as inherent in the featured artists.

Critically acclaimed Australian sound artist Oren Ambarchi will be the guest in this Hadaka. Other artists include Alwyn Lim, Chong Li-chuan, George Chua, Lionel Tan (T’ang Quartet) and Yuen Chee Wai.

Hadaka: M will feature commissioned visual projections by April Lee and Ricks Ang (Kitchen.)
 
I heard it through the grapevine that the guys from Mogwai might drop by to check Hadaka out.
 
whether or not they actually do, this is the kind of teritory that bands like Mogwai are probaly closer in spirit to than all that worthless indie-emo crap that passes off for 'postrock' nowadays.

good marketing tactic lol.


lol. Actually I heard it's a friend of a someone knows them or is going backstage or bringing them around or something like that and is thinking of bringing them to check Hadaka out. Afterall, still close related genre mah. Can't bring the guys of Mogwai go some hardcore gig. Not to say it's bad lah but different lah. Maybe go Newton eat stingray better.
 
this guy makes some really great ambient drone using guitar as his main instrument.

i will be there........
 
a pretty decent show if slightly overlong. But what was annoying was the lousy soundcheck whatever at Timbre that bled into the Guinness Theatre and spoiled the gentle ambience during Oren Mabarchi's set.

Shut your mouth do not sing, just drone on!!!!
