Release info:
"On the invitation of Singaporean artist Ong Kian Peng, I performed live for the first time in several years. The performance was on opening night of the 2022 Singapore Biennale and was intended as a presentation of his superb and visually beautiful six-channel film installation work titled The Viscous Sea. It explores the Dead Sea as a site of ecological disaster and is the culmination of his time as Artist-in-Residence in Jordan.

With a minimal setup and very little practice on my part, we performed together with Kian Peng remixing his footage on the fly and me reacting by improvising to it. I had a great time, and it built up quite a bit of musical energy in me after the show. Feeling inspired, I promised Kian Peng that I would replicate whatever I could remember playing from that performance into recording so that it's not wasted.

I started recording the things I could recall doing during the live performance but as this was going on, I had the opportunity to view the installation again and think deeply about the artwork for weeks. New musical ideas started to sprout in my head, and I realised that purely recreating the live performance was rather uninspiring, insincere and lazy. I decided to scrap everything I've done and follow what the music is telling me to do, which is to write a sort of "soundtrack" inspired by Kian Peng's film instead. These three tracks are the end result. I hope they successfully translate the things I imagined for the film, the feeling of intense heat, the dry and dusty desert air and wind, and coolness and calm of the Dead Sea while it slowly dies as time goes by.

I would like to thank Kian Peng for the performance invitation and for allowing me to interpret his work into musical form." -- elintseeker/Fuzz Lee
