City Lines (9 Maps, cleen and Karmen Cheung) live at The Fringe Sketches of a city, its lines in sounds, the by-product of urban random collisions, the poetry of sudden encounters. Three Hong Kong acts explore the idiosyncratic relationship with their city through notes and lyrics, in a night of great female vocalists and electro-acoustic experimentation. 9 Maps http://www.facebook.com/9maps 9 Maps are Sherin (vocals, keyboards, guitar), Ciosa (vocals, guitar, ukelele), and the indie folk alchemy that they’ve crafted. Often referred to as Hong Kong’s “Harbour Folk” scene, they’ve been likened to the Western indie-folk generation, including Laura Marling, Mumford & Sons and Feist. They’ve garnered songwriting awards from Tom Lee and the Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong, a feature on Music Services Asia’s “Best of South East Asian Indie” compilation CD, and a spot at the Music Matters 2012 conference in Singapore. cleen http://www.facebook.com/cleenmusic cleen is a multimedia project co-authored by Aileen Alonzo, a Hong Kong-based Filipino singer, and Claudio Canzonetta, an Italian producer who has been living in Greater China for over a decade. Their music is an attempt to marry acoustic instruments such as the cello, the trumpet and even Chinese traditional instruments such as the pipa and er-hu with the sounds of computers, glitches and deep bass. Unusual soundscapes and textures are created as a background for the narration of Aileen Alonzo’s lyrics, delivered by her with haunting melodies. Karmen Cheung http://www.facebook.com/Karmenmusichk “Kaona” Karmen Cheung Yuen-tung is a fearless explorer of life, unabashedly questioning universal values of truth, oneness, commitment, peace and love. Her musical performances and inspiring message are spine-tingling, life-enhancing and memorably poignant. - Purchasr your ticket at Fringe Club
