DIP17 The Analog Girl
Dead Inside Podcasts Episode 17: The Analog GIrl
For our next episode, we are thrilled to have The Analog Girl onboard with her interpretation of a post apocalyptic world.
Setting the stage when electronic music was just emerging in Singapore, Mei Wong aka The Analog Girl paved the way for many of the homegrown talents in the local electronic scene today. Known by many, her performances have always been said to be an ethereal experience. One that is both immersive and interactive as she skillfully swerves between synthesized melodies and spaced out vocals that transcends one into a psychedelic realm.
What started out as a lo-fi bedroom project using portable synthesizers and cassette tape recorders has since evolved into some kind of dreamlike technicolour pop universe - one in which Singaporean electronic avant-pop musician The Analog Girl creates and performs using a myriad of illuminating instruments including the Tenori-On, Monome and Percussa AudioCubes.
Named by TIME magazine as one of 5 Music Acts To Watch in 2008, The Analog Girl has had audiences plugged into her sound at a spectrum of venues and festivals worldwide including Nick Knight’s SHOWstudio Revue in London, Worldtronics Festival at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, and Superdeluxe in Tokyo. She has also composed soundscapes for buildings, spaces and exhibitions including ALICE@Mediapolis in Singapore, and MSCTY x Sculpture in the City for Jake Elwes’ A.I. video installation Latent Space in London.
If you’ve not caught her performances, her latest album “Awe” serves as a perfect appetizer to The Analog Girl experience. Packed with lofi electronic cymbals and snares that sound like they came straight from the TR-808s, Awe captures her musical aesthetic succinctly.
