Good to learn about a new (at least to me) new music festival. Looks like there are far more experimental (?) musicians out there from or based in Hong Kong than I previously thought. Also, Chinese artists from Southeast Asian countries are basically absent on Chinese New Ear, we shall catch up……

SAND Summer 2006 is the first music festival organized by the band New Fairfield Recreations and Parks and White Noise Records. The festival aims at presenting contemporary music such as drone, noise, sound art and free jazz by artists with different cultural backgrounds. By combining different acts on one night, we wish to present the diffusion of this art form across different geographical areas.
