About

 

Here’s a little bit about myself. I’m an Australian born Singapore recording artist living in the U.S.A. I write, record, produce, perform my CDs and shows..

Australia to Singapore

I was in an area of research that melded real-time graphic generation in live performance utilising extended synthesizer techniques, and, I co-ran a midi studio for film & TV projects before I left for Singapore. There, I had the privilege of working in the multimedia industry where I headed the development of a line of award-winning music-edutainment CDs and a java based cyber playhouse for research into interactive online gaming.

A few years later, I decided that what I really wanted to do was to create music, so I became the Director of Electric Muse (EM). EM quickly gained a reputation for being able to provide customized instruments and show design for live entertainment and theatre. The acceptance by the artistic community of me as an authority on various performance genres was my reward! During this time, I wrote two electronic operas (dramatico works), original music for theatre and even found time to contribute reviews and articles to Singapore’s premier “Arts Magazine” (read Laurie Anderson, Richard Einhorn, Meredith Monk)

Singapore to USA (Concerts and Appearances)

In 2004, I decided to go out on a limb again by launching show concept Xenovibes (XV) which I took to the USA in 2005. I wanted to address the definition of my ‘sound’. I also simply loved entertaining and working with musicians from all walks of life. XV has performed at various international events and I’ve had the privilege of being the first thereminist at some of these. I’ve also had the honour of working with, and recording some remarkable musicians. Here’s a list on about Xenovibes.

Since my arrival in America in 2005, I have worked with John A Martinez of Fingerfoot Music Productions. John who participated in the premier of Xenovibes the Show in Singapore, is XV’s U.S.A core member. In 2009 I became the U.S. writer to South East Asian news-blog SonicFreakz which reports on all things associated with music.

Current activities 2010

After traveling extensively, I decided to move to Nashville in 2010 to take in new sights and sound, to retreat to record new music (see Discography below), and as a base where I will continue to do more performing on the formal stage and in house-concert situations! My escapades are documented on my youtube channel : OceanaChine. I look forward to more opportunities to travel and share my music with people I meet. To all, I wish good vibes!
