Esplanade On The Waterfront – with Arts Sphere’s Chinese Classical Trio
Saturday 1 May 2010 at 10pm, at the Esplanade Waterfront (as part of the Festival On The Waterfront: Singatronica), we collaborated with musicians from Arts Sphere Chamber Chinese Chamber Ensemble to present a unique combination of our electronic pop / synthpop with Arts Sphere’s pipa, erhu and dizhi trio.
In traditional China, although well–educated people and scholars enjoyed playing classical music for their own expression, the professional musicians who performed for a living were regarded as a lower strata of society. Centuries later, in modern Asia, where the well-educated and scholars are encouraged to learn music, have things changed, or is the status of the professional musician still the same?Cosmic Armchair and Arts Sphere explored this question in music, collaborating on scholarly Chinese classical pieces, earthy Chinese folk pieces, and Cosmic Armchair’s present-day electronic dance pop / synthpop songs. The audience enjoyed this unique combination of traditional pieces and modern songs from Eastern and Western influences, given a fresh interpretation on pipa, erhu, dizhi, synthesizers and laptops.
