Synopsis
Synopsis

inch. is a Singaporean singer-songwriter, musician, and producer with an eclectic sonic palette. Her musical background draws from a blend of acoustic folk with alternative rock, electronic music, jazz, and pop influences. In this programme, inch. puts together a special line-up of guest musicians and vocalists, also known as her Songsmiths, to take students on a sonic and visual journey through Singaporean songs and songwriting, from its humble beginnings to the here and now.

 

Through this special presentation, we hope to equip students with a new appreciation and understanding of Singapore music and music-making.
