In Sync: Music in Motion at Freespace West Kowloon


  • West Kowloon Freespace Hong Kong (map)

Hong Kong music and video artists join forces to present a cross-media live performance. Musicians including Olivier Cong, Fung Lam, Mike Yip, Narbi, Bowen Li and the newly-formed Freespace Ensemble perform various genre-defying music. Simultaneously, video artists exhibit visually stunning short films in the background, creating an innovative audio-visual experience.

The programme is a celebration of rearrangements, featuring a revamped version of Olivier Cong's spellbinding The Interpretation of Milou's Dream with Linus Chan's video. The audio-visual piece tells an introspective story and brings solace after an isolating year.

The Freespace Ensemble, a new group-in-residence at Freespace, will make their debut by playing Fung Lam's rearranged pieces, including Reminiscence (taken from Hong Kong Episodes), under the backdrop of the visual works by Jess Lau Ching-wa and Anthony Lai. Mike Yip will collaborate with Narbi and Bowen Li to twine their compositions around the films by Prescott Law Ho-pui and Wong Cheuk-man.

Freespace has matched up local musicians from diverse genres such as indie, jazz, classical, contemporary classical, electronic and hip-hop, in Hong Kong’s latest genre-bending ensemble. The musicians collaborate to experiment with new compositions and arrangements in regular showcases in Freespace.

Members of this performance include:
Fung Lam; Mike Yip (Electric Guitar); Louie Lai-lai (Violin); Rebecca Li (Cello); Izumi Nikaido (Flute); Mavis Lam (Pipa); lu Sai Yu (Trumpet); Charles Ng (Saxophone); Karen Yu (Vibraphone, Percussion); Linus Fung (Clarinet)
