• THE PANCAKES CATCHING SONG

  Wednesday, Dec 31, 2008 5:46PM / News / Music

  I’m happily surprised to see that my favorite Hong Kong singer, The Pancakes (a.k.a. Dejay Choi) is now on Alive Not Dead, so today I’m listening several of her songs (including of course the McDull OST). There’s one that I love especially, that you can hear on the digital art website Catching here: http://www.catching.hk/ .
  

  I suppose it’s called “The Catching Song”.

   

  

  
  

  And you can even find the lyrics right here:
  

  http://www.catching.hk/lyric.html. This is great music. Enjoy.

• I SUFFER THEREFORE I AM

  Here is a live music video that I've done, of electro spoken-word French band d.e.v.i.a.n.c.e., performing  "Doloroso Ergo Sum" (I Suffer Therefore I am), a song composed and written by So. Noël, about the pain caused by multiple sclerosis. Enjoy...

  DOLOROSO ERGO SUM (JE SOUFFRE DONC JE SUIS)
  sent by FredAmbroisine

  
  Confutatis, maledictis, flamis acribus addictis
  
  Dull but ever present, the pain
  Cruel, latent, crippling
  It determines every moment, every motion
  With difficulty
  And it hurts
  
  Doloroso Ergo Sum
  
  Confutatis, maledictis, flamis acribus addictis
  
  Distorted, my sore backbone
  My soul weeps over my weakened body
  A shiver cracks my young marrow
  Such an inauspicious fracture...
  And it hurts
  
  Doloroso Ergo Sum
  
  Nervous system – bundle of nerves
  Please cut and saw if necessary
  Switch off this fatal and never ending current
  Isolate my spinal column from this receptacle
  
  I feel heavy, my members are numb
  My ego is dying, my clay is wilting
  As a sad larva
  I stumble on
  And it hurts.

• KATE, CONROY AND TERENCE : THE STRANGE VOICES OF LAN KWAI FONG

  Wednesday, Oct 22, 2008 8:01AM / Video / Music

  Last March in Hong Kong, I was one night in Lan Kwai Fong area with some friends, and we met there AnD artists Terence Yin, Conroy Chan and Kate Yeung.
  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  This video was shot with a handycam next to a very cool place named the “Yamla” if I remember. I really don’t know what they were talking about, but I noticed at least some reference / tribute to 24 Herbs. Check it out..
