Sound Bath Sessions 166: Fatin Zulkefly

Fatin was keen on playing outdoor and I thought recording another morning chorus track, this time in Singapore, would be perfect. We met at 4:30 at Fort Canning Park and found a spot at the top of the park in a flat area with tall trees. Fatin plays metal bowls she bought from Bishal and her style is slow and highly improvised. She has an interior design background so I felt that she would be up for experimentation to try some ideas and concepts during the recordings. We would discuss some ideas before each recording and she would execute them improvising with the bowls. I thought it resulted in a pretty cool three-part composition. Movement For this recording, we experimented with using the bowls in the space. Fatin would walk around the microphone at varying distances playing the bowl in her hand, playing with depth and movement, creating a dynamic sound experience. Each sound seemed alive.
