Esplanade - Breakbeat Theory

SYNOPSIS

Breakbeat Theory, a pioneer in live electronica, attempts to meld the human soul with a digital heartbeat. They create various hybridizations of live music and sampled aural textures, as representations of man and machine, to channel messages of humanity, hope and despair.

Live performaces are built upon spontaneous interaction between members, changes in mood and feel through sonic chicanery. With inspiration from peers such as Lamb, Amon Tobin and Photek, Breakbeat Theory seeks to destroy preconceived musical dogmas and inspire fresh alternatives to live representations of electronic music.

For Breaking New Ground, they will be collaborating with local poet Felix Cheong. Using his poems as lyrics, Breakbeat Theory will be working with Felix’s published collection of poems, Sudden Youth.

Breakbeat Theory are Dougall Irving, Tang Kin Ho Low, Guat Hua and Boey Yinghao. Felix Cheong is an award-winning poet and writer who has contributed greatly to Singapore’s literature community.
