Cosmic Armchair at Dream Lab

DREAM LAB was an interactive installation where the audience participates in the creative process, contributing words and ideas that are transformed into digital graphics, video, and electronic music, interspersed with evocative sounds and visuals, to draw out the dreams that lie inside all of us.

DREAM LAB was presented at the NUS Arts Festival 2018 at the National University of Singapore University Cultural Centre (NUS UCC) by LAB RATS featuring COSMIC ARMCHAIR (www.cosmicarmchair.com) OCEANS CHILDREN, JAY LIM and LIZ GOH.

LAB RATS is a collective of electronic musicians and artists who are alumni of the Electronic Music Lab at NUS Centre For the Arts, including Cosmic Armchair and Ocean’s Children. LabRats’ projects span the range of electronic music from accessible to experimental, synthesizing the diverse talents of collective members.

Digital Dondang Sayang

Back in the Studio with an #Electro #Synthpop #EBM Mixtape

We’re back in the studio after a long hiatus and our first recording of 2016 is this mixtape of our favourite synthpop / electro / EBM tracks from the Matrix Downloaded 4 compilation by Alfa Matrix, the top international alternative electro / synthpop / EBM label.

Yes we had our hands full with other matters in 2015 – new addition to family, new full time job, new live Peranakan electropop show – and we’re very sorry to our label mates whom we were unable to remix in time for your great EP and album releases (they sound great!) – but we’re back in action producing and remixing and ready to go!

You’ll find our favourite synthpop / electropop / alternative tracks from the Matrix Downloaded 4 (available at http://alfa-matrix-store.com/ ) featuring PSY’AVIAH feat. MARI KATTMAN, AYRIA, COSMIC ARMCHAIR (ourselves!), ESSENCE OF MIND, UNTER NULL, METROLAND, DIFFUZION, ENTRZELLE, SUICIDAL ROMANCE, AESTHETISCHE, STUDIO-X vs. SIMON CARTER, DREAM RECALL, and AVARICE IN AUDIO.

The making of Digital Dondang Sayang #Peranakan #Electropop (Continued)

This is a series of video interviews that the NUS Centre of the Arts team recorded during our photo shoot for the show. Over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing more of our adventure, in creating our first Digital Dondang Sayang show, with you.
