As a follow-up project for Dialogue with The Ghosts, a group of local experimental artists, in the eve of the Chinese Ghost Festival, continue to re-establish an on-going dialogue with the deceased. Through a series of multi-media art performance aiming to re-interpret and re-activate various local spiritual beliefs and rituals, we will dive into the world of the unknown and attempt to make contact with those from the other side. The ultimate aim, is to confront and acknowledge, those who had been forgotten, but still exist on the other side (or somewhere deep inside). This, we believe, is the only way through which, liberation can be attained.
All audience will receive a copy of limited edition CD (Locd36r) released by Lona Records, containing re-interpretation mix by Alok, Sin:Ned and KWC, on the sound materials of "Dialogue with the Ghosts", as recorded on 07/07/07.
Our album REALlusion is out in August, and you’re cordially invited to the two acoustic gigs following on August 4 and September 14. Hope to see you there!
