FEATURED ARTISTS


C MURDA x EDMUND LEE
In a project initiated by the artists and SPORE Art Salon, street dancer works with local singer song writer... creating collaboratively - original moves of "popping style", a bit of electronica (!) and smooth vocals! This, we have to watch to believe...

C MURDA

http://www.youtube.com/Selrahcil
Charles Li aka C Murda picked up street dance styles in 2002 at the age of 16 in Sydney Australia. He specialises in the style of Popping, a style made most famous by popular icons such as Michael Jackson. He is also able to create complex choreography depending on the nature of the class he is teaching. Charles has performed and competed in various battles, corporate events, dance showcase competitions in Singapore.

EDMUND LEE

www.EdzMusic.com
With Influences such as Jason M’raz, Newton Faulkner and Ed Sheeran, Edmund has the dream that one day, if not him, a fellow Singaporean will be able to share the pop music stage with these other international artistes.
Edmund strives to raise awareness and the popularity of local music by starting with sharing his original heartfelt compositions. Armed with the-guy-next-door tunes such as “Mesmerised” and “Come Outside”, to the other end of the musical spectrum consisting of confidence-oozing-dude songs like “Ooo Baby” and “ScRRRub!”, Edmund aims to deliver a wide variety of musical sensations to his listeners.




THE CONSTANT IDEALISTE (musician)

Jeremy Lee was once an angry young man. He is no longer young and the anger has been tempered into melancholia. He writes songs about Government Zombies, Financial Cannibals and Island Depression. Expect the debut EP to be released sometime at the end of the year.

JOCELYN SUAREZ (not a poet)
aka SOAP
http://soap008.tumblr.com/
Jocelyn (AKA soap) IS not a poet. She is a prose writer who finds it increasingly eerie that she is referring to herself in the third person... or that she is writing poems. She writes... sometimes, however, most of the time is spent staring into nothing and pretending to muse about life. Life is part of what she writes - the absurd parts of life, like pancake-shaped psychiatric tablets and mermen. It is generally accepted that her verses tend to be mushy, but what's life without the gagging reflex? She doesn't know why she calls herself soap.

THE VISUAL AUDITORY EXPERIMENT
Comprising of visual and sound artists from France, Japan and Singapore, this spontaneous 4-person experimental outfit will attempt at tickling your visual and auditory senses.

Across this sound and live drawing performance, Unii (sound artist), wxymm (sound artist) , Clare Ryan (visual artist) and ~1escV? (sound and visual artist)  would like to mix their creative universes in order to compose a kind of sensitive travel to the audience.

Using soundscape, feminine electroacoustic weirdness, origami lyrics,  electronic melodies and colorful lines and imagery, they would like to invite the viewers to construct their own narrative experience according to present imaginary tales and personal past history.


Technically, the electronic sounds would be create, improvise and organize from 4 computers and different sounds softwares (Unii +wxymm + ~1escV?).

Unii would also add some vocal textures and poems according to the electronic basement.

The live drawing would be made  with "Processing" (computer programming software) , a Wacom drawing pen tablet (~1escV? and Clare Ryan) and projected from computer to the screeen by video~projector...

“When I was a child, I used drawings to communicate with other kids, it created connections with my entourage. Until now, I still had a strong feeling in my mind about my first drawing. Drawing to me, it’s more like a present, a message, a souvenir and a link between humans. I always wanted to reconcile my two media attraction; drawing and sound art into a multidisciplinary art project. Since year 2010, I started to use real-time drawing projection to present my work by using projector, computer drawing software’s and the Wacom drawing pen tablet, which evolves with sound into multimedia performances.
During live performances, I tried to create a narrative combination between sounds and drawings: as a means of leading the audience into an imaginary tales. I'm currently working on my art project using the name: “Un Escargot Vide ?", aka "~1escV?" (An empty snail?)”

 Unii (JAPAN)
http://uniiunii.com/
Tokyo-based Unii is a sound artist and singer-songwriter unabashedly brandishing her pop sensibilities with no holds-barred experimentation in delicate, origami-like pop song structures with their advances into capricious avant-pop genius and feminine electroacoustic weirdness. Unii's first LP "new world, sea and your eyes" (2011) and her live performances evoke an awkwardly beautiful and elegant soundscape that brings into existence a slowed-down universe of whispery sing-speak, delicate coos, multitracked echoes, reconstituted field recordings, digital clicks and blips, tempered noise and unorthodox beats.

The sound/tunes/music/noise created are exactly the same ... wyxmm, an emergent esoteric sound artist, excels at disarming melody lines and using random sound samples to add texture to his pieces. His works can be said to be a cross between music and soundscape. Tools - Guitar, bass, laptop and whatever and whoever he can find.

A SECOND CHANCE (stage play)

Directed by Richard Lord
Performed by Deborah Emmanuel & Ralph Go

We all like to get a second chance. But what if that second chance is also your last chance – your very last chance. That’s the predicament Roger finds himself when, in the middle of a life-threatening health incident, he is confronted by a supernatural being who offers him a final chance to save himself. But when this supernatural being tells Roger of the price he will have to pay to save himself, he starts to have doubts that being saved is really such a good deal.
This one-act play is a comedy with of social commentary thrown in to leaven the whole. The reading will be handled by Deborah Emmanuel and Ralph Go, two widely experienced stage performers.

(un)it: HD85828 | in.ViSiBLE

A friend of the salon, Ming Poon, will present his final performance stemmed from the 2 year artist research programme with The Substation this April ---

(un)it: HD85828* is a five-part project that spans from 2011-2013. It is a performance project that attempts to look at People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Singapore and their collective anonymity.

in.ViSiBLE is the final performance in this series. The challenge is to create a performance in which PLHIV can appear in person to share their stories. It is developed using materials from interviews with PLHIV, and evolves out of four performances that were presented earlier at The Substation.

What does their collective anonymity tell us?
How does their anonymity work?
How do we see someone who remains anonymous?
What do they look like?
What are their stories?

* HD85828 is said to be the faintest star observable from Earth, by the naked eye in the darkest conditions. Under normal circumstances, it is undetectable by our eyes. In this project, this star is a metaphor for PLHIV in Singapore who similarly escape our field of vision.

WHEN : 5 & 6 April 2013, 8PM
WHERE : The Substation Theatre
TICKETS : $15 / $10 (concession) from the box office.

Nicole is an anthropology undergrad. She started life modeling so that she could travel to visit her friends in different cities and sleep in their houses. She likes the mental stillness and physical exertion of holding a position. She has posed in front of retirees, 6th form students, museum staff, and once, for the UCL art club's first session of the year. They turned out to be the most polite of the lot, and the 6th form students were least awkward. Amanda Palmer and Erika Moen are her largest life modeling influences. She considers the internet to be a comforting place, and makes youtube videos and hangs out on twitter and tumblr a lot. She believes that life modeling and being an internet whore can be attributed to an exhibitionist nature.

UPDATE

DAN TAN to take the spot of Jocelyn Suarez
"I'm a poetry writer whose first poem was a Singlish poem to a prospective girl in Secondary One. The relationship never happened, but fulled by this fiasco, I pursued Literature and poetry relentlessly. My first inspiration was Robert Frost. Then, I dealt heavily in rhyme and meter, and Nature poetry. Subsequently, due to influences from Society, I turned my perspectives toward writing about the ills and situations of people instead. Currently, a bulk of my poems deal with Singapore life, and local thinking, but occasionally you get a love poem or nature recurring in my topic.
Outside of poetry, there's my life, of course. I'm shuttling between home and wherever I traverse to, often for a quest of modern adventure. Sightseeing's the term, but I reflect into my soul for answers and... more poetry to conceive, like eggs. On a part-time basis, I dabble in Chinese chess, and run around the void decks of Singapore like a crazyass chicken trying to polish up my sword and skill (chickens don't hold swords, so horrible metaphor).
My repertoire of poetry can be found on my Facebook. Simply search "Dan Tan" in the little white box up on the blue bar, and you can source out my name. There aren't too many Dan Tans around. Hahahahaha. PM me if you want a coffee or a dedication poem (for your girlfriend/boyfriend)."

MICHAEL TAY (film maker)

http://michaeltay.wordpress.com/

Michael Tay Hong Khoon is a graduate from the School of Film, Sound and Video at Ngee Ann Polytechnic in 2003. He is also a fine arts degree holder who majors in digital film-making at the School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University in 2009.
Having won 4 awards for his short film, Wet Season, and being the first Singaporean at age 25 to have his short film selected for competition at the recent Sundance Film Festival 2009, Michael is already being recognized as one of Singapore’s new wave of rising film makers.
His award winning short film “Wet Season” is included in a DVD release of “Singapore Shorts Vol. 2″. He has also directed the short film "Respirator", served as producer and cinematographer for "Mu Gui Ying" and written "Sisters" and "An Encounter in the Woods".

"RESPIRATOR 铁 心" 2009, 19mins

To save her 7 year old son from dying of a rare heart disease, a single mother undergoes a bizarre operation but recovers only to realize the terrifying consequences that come along with it. 

Director's statement:

My most ambitious short film production to date. Respirator actually originated from one of those ideas that I kept away for years because I felt it wasn’t good then when I first conceived it. However at some point in life, you take another look at these ideas again and start to see a totally different light in them.
Respirator is about ethics or rather the lack of it. Good will is hard to cultivate these days and people can get exploited easily because of it. Just like how charity organizations in our country have profit from the contributions of others.
This short film is dedicated to those who have given and to those who only want to profit. It is also a reminder that every life has a price.

STRETCHED SOULS (musicians)

Stretched Souls consists of three friends with varying musical influences and experiences coming together to bring music written by the chronically-shy introvert Jasmine - who never in her life would imagine her songs being heard outside of the comfort of her bedroom walls. Together with friends Ying and Jennifer, they attempt to recreate music inspired by "not so ordinary life experiences", cutting across stories that investigate the meaning behind life, its dissonances to the soul, and what makes us human.

"It is the stretched soul that makes music, and souls are stretched by the pull of opposites - opposite bents, tastes, yearnings, loyalties. Where there is no polarity - where energies flow smoothly in one direction - there will be much doing but no music. - Eric Hoffer"

"The Three Sisters" 2012, 15 mins

Yoke Sim, Poh Sim and Choy Sim are three elderly sisters setting out for a pleasant evening at the Opera. They will, however, only come face to face with their own demons - each other.

Director's statement:
For the longest time, my grandmother wanted to watch my short films but I didn’t think she would understand them. So when my mum told me of a story, of which “The Three Sisters” is based on, I thought it would be a suitable one, just for my grandmother. When she saw the film, she said it was good. She also wondered why her on-screen persona is fatter than she actually is.
