Reading with Tay Shi Ying: Debating Singapore

Here is Shi Ying reading a text i have been reading about how an artist asking a journalist to write about her.

It shows a frame of mind that there is very little division between the work and the artist. Kind of suggesting that this is the same thing. But as we all know, good chefs have bad days and so do artists. Not every artwork is good / not every dish will turn out fine.

Enjoy the video and if you are interested to discuss this more please feel free to comment. If you wish to read this essay, it is at our shelf at Food #03-BenBino's. Feel free to read it but i can't lend anyone to bring home cause i am still using it for my paper.

Recital notes.

This Friday, Post-Museum staged a Recital progrAm featuring jeff, kai and Yuzuru. Three different sound artists.



I recorded the whole gig and thinking of showing some of the pieces online.

I enjoyed the interaction of the three of them musically. Yuzuru was playing two string instruments, one sitar like instrument and the other was an Okinawa instrument, which I cannot recall the name at this point. Kai played from an assortment of 'analog' effects devices. While Jeff was sampling both their sounds and adding a layer on top of their sounds.

Overall, the recital model gives the space for people to focus and listen to their sounds.

Wish there were more audience who could experience the show. On that I m quite disappointed with the turn out.

Ok, nxt blog entry, I should talk about the round table discussion held at substation after I hear the recording.

Transmission out!
