Timepainting with the Phenyl Quintet @ The Jazz Loft

At age 19, Singapore's own jazz drummer Asher Lee (aka phenyl music) presents Timepainting with the Phenyl Quintet, exploring the contrast between tightly arranged tunes and sonic free painting: crafting unique narratives within interludes that serve as more than just bridges between tunes.

Between the distinct sounds of two tunes, musicians tell a story from their own perspectives, finding common ground to explore and navigate as a unit in the same direction, sharing ideas and feelings with each other and building on their interactions.

As we decorate silence by painting on canvases of time, we create an artwork in and of itself that connects canvases of standalone stories multi-dimensionally. Such interludes can be considered as equally important as the tunes we play.

Each interlude is a unique experience where nothing has been played the same before. What could come out of it? What new, unexpected sounds could we lead to? What amazing ideas are waiting to be explored?

Join us as we explore the space between tight, meticulously arranged standards and our original compositions, creating unique stories together.
