BALBALAB is a collective of experimental musicians from Singapore, comprising Shark Fung, Dennis Tan, Zai Tang, and Wu Jun Han. The group evolved through the Openlab sessions at The Substation (2014), and have since been exploring a variety of strategies towards electroacoustic improvisation, DIY instrumentation and combining sound & moving- image.

Each member of the collective brings their individual practise into the mix:

Shark Fung (aka Awk Wah) is a veteran of the Singapore experimental music scene whose shifting musical outlook draws on an array of styles and influences in a compellingly, unpredictable manner.

Through the making of objects, installations and performances, Dennis Tan’s projects engage with the environment, perception and communication patterns of sound.

Zai Tang’s work navigates the terrain between sound, space and the body, practising as a composer, sound designer and field recordist for film, contemporary dance and multimedia installations.

As a video projectionist for a variety of music collectives in Singapore, Wu Jun Han explores notions of viscerality, vernacularity and the future, drawing influence from visual music and live improvisation.
