about

After performing for the first time as a trio at MAB189's venue Tegak Balai in Melaka, the trio felt there was something unique about what each player brings out of one another. The synthetic yet unpredictable sounds from MAB189's modular synth provides a perfect platform for Yong Yandsen and Richard Allan Bates to improvise from as he creates a bed of unusual textures.

Playing at Cryroom for the first time, the atmosphere of the space brought something additional to the music. With the lights dimmed and the audience seated around the performers, the music reached an ethereal and at times fragile moment.

The cover art is by Muzi Cao Fang, joint founder of Cryroom, and perfectly captures the intrigue the evening brought inviting one into an undivinable experience.
