Hear Music in a Different Beat

Think there’s nothing in common between the melodic strums of your electric guitar and the emotive strings of the Indian sitar?

Think again as four popular contemporary bands collaborate with traditional musicians at this year’s Night Festival. Join us and rediscover Singapore’s culture through a showcase of music of the past and present coming together in a one-of-a-kind performance.

* Amateur Takes Control
Collaboration with Kompang Troupe

* Tiramisu
Collaboration with Keroncong Players
with Fire Dancers

* Lunar Node
Collaboration with Indian Organ
and Chinese Musical Instruments

* The Pinholes
Collaboration with Sitar Player
and Indian Percussion together
with Bollywood Dancers

See Culture in a Different Light

Come stay up late with the National Museum, Singapore Art Museum and the Peranakan Museum as they open shop and offer free admission to their galleries till 2am this Night Festival.

From soulful jazz numbers to public art installations, from night bazaars to touring exhibitions in the dark, there’s plenty of entertainment and activities for all.

Museums SEE DIFFERENT

Museums SEE DIFFERENT is National Heritage Board’s youth outreach initiative which aims to put youths in control of their own culture and heritage by encouraging them to interpret museums, culture and heritage differently themselves.

RE:PLAY is a part of Night Festival and lovingly produced by Villains

Lunar Node’s “Exploring Unknown Territory” EP launch ticket/bookmark thingy. 167/300… should’ve reserved my ticket early
The CD packaging is totally awesome too — a shiny silver sleeve holds a grayscale print, folded into a sort of origami pocket with the CD in it, which actually unfolds into a large poster of the aurora/space-y design on the ticket. I can’t be bothered to photograph everything with my shitty phone so if you want a look+feel you should buy the EP :P

Lunar Node - Times Escape. Pretty archetypal guitar-driven post-rock, but it’s a spectacular first impression nonetheless. Can’t wait for the EP launch! Apologies to Dan and friends for ripping it off their MySpace — if you enjoyed this please hop along and make some play counts where it counts.
