RESIDUE: da photos

Popped down to the SMU Li Ka Shing Library from the Velvet Underground Poetry Slam.

Closing performances started 1/2 an hour late. After Venzha...

... the crowd started to stretch its legs.


Just when our boy Ka5 came on with the National Archives Oral History recording.

"It was a beauuutiful place..."



To give you an idea of the breadth of the space:


It was around this time that Ka5 was experimenting with his toy theremin/electric guitar. It created some crazy discordance.

Was wondering why he never faced the audience to show off his gadget. Turned out that he wanted to play with his back to the audience as a homage/imitation of his idol Zai Kuning.


Insert the sequence from Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors where the little indigenous animals are singing the Japanese syllabary.


And of course, the ISEA crowd was rapt:


No lah, they're always this chatty after the first half hour of a performance session. Saw them at SPEKTR and it was the same.

Then handover to Zulkifle Mahmod, with his analogue performance.


Now to business!
