Looking at 21st Century Experimental Music & Work In Progress

In July 26 - 30 DPAC (Damansara Performing Arts Center) hosted a lecture + workshop + performance led by me. I am not going to say the whole thing is a great success but I really enjoy the process of moving from lecture to workshop to the 2 evening performances which with big audiences  (I would say surely more then 100 for 2 days).

Here is where you can listen to the recording of both evenings, and also purchase the recording as a support to my artistic career. 

Thank you very much DPAC for hosting the event (and did a great job to promo it, it's been a while since I got media(s) coverage :-) Thanks to Sudar & Paul to taking part and the great performance. Also thanks to all the dancers that joining the performance, I lost count on how many of you :-)

The story of the buskers

There are 4 buskers station at 4 corner of a building. British, American, German and Malaysia. Where the British station, did not have strong traffic, but has a lot of tourists passing by, therefore the British get a lot of media attention; Where the American station, is facing the main street, with strong traffic, therefore good income too; Where the German station is facing the art fund agency, therefore even low traffic and low media coverage, the art fund agency will recognize them, there are steady monthly/ annual income; where the Malaysian station is just like the rest of the world, not many media coverage, not strong traffic, not much art fund.

The problem with the music / art scene today is, it is based on visibility, number of supporter, income, and funding support to define / judge an artist. Almost nobody will walk through 4 corner to listen to the buskers before making conclusion/ judgement.

12 Albums

Here are the rules for you to ignore or adhere to as you see fit: (copy & paste) in your status update, list 12 albums that have stayed with you (whatever that brings to mind for you) - but, and this is the most important rule/non-rule only 1 per band/artist. Don't take too long and no need to think too hard. Tag ten Facebook friends (including me) and get them to do the same thing. We'll leave compilation albums out please. Happy reminiscing!

Björk - Debut
Miles Davis -Birth of the Cool
Portishead - Dummy
Aphex Twin - ...I Care Because You Do
Radiohead - OK Computer
