FEATURED ARTISTS
SHIVRAM GOPINATH (poet)
He needs no introduction, but is humble enough to write one anyway.
He is widely acknowledged to be a shining exemplar of adorable modesty.
He is a brain surgeon, the protector of Peruvian virgins.
A celebrated beekeeper, a parkouring building leaper.
He taught Macgyver, Erykah Badu and Hemingway (good ol’ Hemi) everything they know.
His disarming charm was the reason for Kerr’s bye-bye to Bloom.
An avid time-traveller, he invented, among other things, elastic, yoga, snow angels, and English.
He is the legend stuff is made of.
He is the rock. He is the hard place.
He reads poetry.
Shivram Gopinath is also the author of the best-selling self-help book, How to be awesome like Shivram Gopinath.
THOMAS LOW (guitarist)
Raised in a family of musicians, he is no stranger to the world of music, having taken up guitar after years of classical training at the age of 9 he started of learning classical guitar as well as some blues and rock under the guidance of Remigius Francis. It was not until a couple of years after when he eventually got his hands on an electric guitar and his journey to become a full-time musician/entrepreneur began.
Now in his final year of a Diploma in Music course in LASALLE College of the Arts, Thomas has immersed himself many genres ranging from funk, soul, blues, jazz, rock as well as his specialty; metal. Having played in various groups like Soundwave Hyperbole (Disbanded) and Lion City Percussion Movement's "Voodoo" (or "The Voodoo Sound") as well as random sessions and jams from Sultan Jazz Club to NUS and various Community Centers around Singapore, he is no stranger to the performance world. So prepare to be dazzled by fast-fingers, technique and style maybe get to know him better and find out that just reflects his personality.
MAISHA & AZARA (tribal/fusion dancers)
About the artists:
MAISHA
AZARA
Azara was a budding musician before she discovered that dancing brings her greater joy than playing music. Hungry as a newbie dancer, she created events (parties, concerts) just so she could perform in them. Her greatest audience had been one with 4000 people at a corporate event, performing as a sword dancer. Having performed publicly with various musical instruments, her musical experience lend texture and substance to her dance. She is best known for her feel for rhythms and the passion exuded in the dance. Her dream is to devote herself to dance as a mastery, and through this art, bring beauty and soul to the world.
PHILIPP ALDRUP & DREAM STATE VISION (visual/audio collab)
About the artists:
PHILIPP ALDRUP
Philipp Aldrup is a photographer from Germany, based in South-East Asia since 2005.
He creates visuals that are dramatic and contemplative; somber but not pessimistic.
His works are meditations and a quiet rebellion against a Zeitgeist based on sheer functionality and perfection.

Dream State Vision is a solo project initiated by Shaun Sankaran.
Consisting one track lasting over 2 hours with accompanying artwork and instruction manual, the self-titled Dream State Vision is an ambitious piece of music that drifts alternately between the visceral and conceptual. With Satie’s furniture music and Eno’s ambient music as historical forebears, DSV draws focus on the act of listening itself. Released exclusively as an MP3 digital download, its mode of distribution and listening format are a reflection of present-day consumption habits.
