ABOUT THIS EVENT
Sit back and enjoy an exciting hour-long programme brought to you by students of the YST Composition Department. Experience the music of our time, here and now, with a full line-up of premieres at Soundbites: Sounding Now.
The concert kicks off with Alicia Diva Chandra’s electronic work Organised Cacophony, which used the programming environment Sonic Pi to generate its musical components. Chua Zi Tao’s Composition for Electric Guitar and Modular Synthesizer follows with an exploration of live signal processing between both electronic instruments. Chong Heng Li’s Emergence for solo violin transports one to an intimate, yet powerful sound world that fuses elements from works such as Missy Mazzoli’s Vespers, Chen Zhangyi’s Four Reflections, and the standard Moon River. Chua Zi Tao’s Exuviations is a 5-movement work for violin, yangqin, and piano, originally presented alongside dance students from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in collaboration with choreographer Dan Kwoh. The concert rounds off with Cliff Tan’s Lapis for large ensemble, which was inspired by the current “genreless” movement in modern rock and is presented here as part of the composer’s final year project.
