The first episode of a new music podcast that takes place on a solar fuelled designer boat in the Cheung Chau harbour. We aim to fill the vessel with music and conversations about how music keeps us alive.
Each episode will features Hong Kong musicians who share personal stories and play music in a unique and intimate setting to a small live audience.
Graeme Morris explains…"As a youngster, I was greatly influenced by the guitar playing of Ralph McTell. My first live performances were doing Ralph McTell covers such as "Streets Of London", "Mrs. Adam's Angels ,"Kew Gardens", "Are You Receiving Me" and "Hesitation Blues". Since that formative time I developed a love for classical guitar and Spanish guitar, incorporating many instrumentals into my repertoire. At 25, I left my hometown and "stable career " to travel busking. I have performed in many countries, and in Hong Kong, I have developed a love sharing my skills by means of both improvising (jamming) with other artists , and teaching aspiring guitarists. To pursue my love of musical interaction and sharing , in 2011 I launched the "Long Hai Project"; a project in which a documentary film is made of musician sailors aboard a classic Chinese junk, sailing to new locations, where they jam and interact with musicians of the local communities."
Yanyan Pang is an indie musician from Hong Kong, currently a member of After-After-Party and Teenage Riot, having been playing original music since she was 15 years old, she and her bands has been playing shows in many different venues and music festivals across Asia. Growing up in a residential area of Tuen Mun in New Territories, it was a very lonely time (pre-internet time) as she didn’t find friends with similar musical interests, and often being questioned why she was having a Marilyn Manson badge on her school bag. Music has been the most important thing in her life, it humiliated her first as being labelled as a weirdo among her community, but then it eventually helped her to become a confident girl.
Hachimukh [aka Zaid Saadat]: Although completely unintentional, @hachimukh is a man of many faces - from a watch dealer in Chungking Mansions to a Food Panda Delivery guy and as of late, a professional yogi. Among the many random iterations, he feels most comfortable as a musician, singing and yelling about his incapacity to make random decisions as a small potato. Zaid is also the lead singer of Shumking Mansion.
