Explore the unique charm of Hong Kong on a cinematic musical journey filled with intrigue! Eight musical sections developed through four facets of Hong Kong during the course of a virtual day: its cosmopolitan cityscape、 fast-paced lifestyle、 avenues for spiritual retreat、 and colourful heritage and culture. Savour the changing sensibilities of the city in the ambience of video and instrumental music.

With new scores written collaboratively by Fung Lam, the youngest Chinese composer to be commissioned by the BBC, and Teriver Cheung, a stand-out guitarist on the international jazz scene, and performed by the fine jazz quartet alongside top chamber players from the Hong Kong Contemporary Music Group, the refreshing jazz-classical cross-over piece is accompanied by architect Anthony Lai’s original video images, the result is an amazing tapestry of original music and visuals weaving a lasting impression of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Episodes premiered at the World Cultures Festival 2015 presented by LCSD of Hong Kong, and showcased at Hong Kong Music Series in London in 2017 presented by HKADC.

Another Music in Anticlockwise

Facing the future, we treasure the past.

Our steps are hurried, as is the wheel of time. Every forward movement happens like lightning. But what if we take a step back: perhaps we will see farther this way? That wrinkle in time before the future comes when we reflect on our past, a reminder not to forget.

GayBird expands on his Music in Anticlockwise, shown in the OzAsia Festival 2017, to produce Another Music in Anticlockwise, a cross-media art experience interweaving media art, music performance and space design, deconstructing “old” contexts and creating “new” material、 from the first string quartet piece: Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet Op. 1, evolving into a futuristic electronic sound experience.

Using “now” as a time tunnel, we travel between the past and the future, contemplating on the constant and the inconstant.

First edition of the performance, Music in Anticlockwise, was presented and premiered at the OzAsia Festival 2017.
