Electronic producer / sound designer / poet from Hong Kong

I compose my music in real time. Every piece begins as a single vocal take where I sketch the full shape of the composition, the harmony, rhythm, dynamics and instrumentation, using my voice as the first orchestra. From that one moment, I expand the lines into full arrangements, shaping the textures, colours and movement until the piece finds its form. 
This approach lets me catch the energy of a first idea before it slips away. Some pieces reveal themselves instantly; others stay mysterious to me, but I release them anyway. Over the years I’ve learnt that what feels unresolved to me can resonate powerfully with someone else. 
My work moves between orchestral writing, jazz-leaning harmony and more experimental sketches, but it all comes from the same place: one take, full expression, and the instinct to follow where the idea leads.

I write lyrics the same way, free-styled in the moment, written down after, then shaped into a story without losing the instinct that sparked them.

Hong Kong's indie rock heroes, bringing to bear the power of catchy melodies and fluid riffs to captivate audiences and delight listeners. Since 2007, Luke Chow, Paul Lam, Tiff Laue and Mike Jack have been united to create the most delicious, energetic mix of post-rock and indie pop ever to emerge from (and stand in stark contrast to!) the commercial, mass-culture-driven island that they call home. The group’s work draws its groove-based, guitar driven melodic style from a range of influences, including Broken Social Scene, Death Cab for Cutie and Jimmy Eat World. After releasing their 2nd EP, Hungry Ghosts have been working tirelessly on new material, already preparing for their next release. A tour of China and Southeast Asia is also in the works, so stay tuned...
