completed – sonicbrat: QUIESCE 閾

Sonicbrat (processed piano and sound art) + Lim Chin Huat (movement) + Lim Woan Wen (light)

A minimalist music and sound performance presented by sonicbrat (Darren Ng), supported by organic movement interpretation by dancer Lim Chin Huat and emotive ambient light show by lighting designer Lim Woan Wen. Three national award winning artists from Singapore get together to explore the ideology of “liminality” as they present to you their personal take on space, time and emptiness.

Project Summary:

“Liminality is a psychological, neurological, or metaphysical subjective, conscious state of being on the “threshold” of or between two different existential planes. Those who remain in a state between two other states may become permanently liminal.”

QUIESCE is an exploration into “liminality” through multi-disciplinary expressions, experimenting with gaps, silences and spaces as thresholds between what is before and what comes after, immersing in the state of betwixt and between.

A quiet collaboration of sound/music, movement and light, three artists gather to explore the notion of space, silence, emptiness and inactivity; of displacements, juxtapositions and ambiguity… in search of a liminal space.
