The TENG Company's video: Remembering

A mother remembers a dinner with her son. A woman remembers the proposal from her beloved. The sweetness of memories linger. 一名母親，想起與兒子共進的晚餐。 一名女子，想起愛人許她的一生承諾。 往事縈繞，甜上心頭。 -- A video by The TENG Ensemble Creative Director: Dr Samuel Wong Music Composer: Chow Jun Yi Music Producer: Joel Nah Music video produced by Fiction Shore Pte Ltd Director/Editor: Koo Chia Meng Producer: Xu Xin'en Cinematographer/Colourist: Kevin Yeoh Camera Assistant: Justin Ng Production Assistant: Anne Lee Hair and Make up: Makeupartistinc Jeffrey Linus Lee Special Thanks: Chua Dian Fang Maximilian Liang Andy Phua -- Musicians: Darrel - Cantonese Gaohu Gabriel - Keyboard & Electronics Gerald - Gehu Jeremy - Pipa Ji Wei - Sheng Johnny - Guzheng Leonard - Guitar Neil - Cantonese Qinqin Cast: Doreen Toh Ethan Tay Shawn Thia Liew Jia Yi -- Website: www.thetengcompany.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/thetengensemble Instagram: www.instagram.com/thetengensemble -- About The Forefathers Project: In 2016, The TENG Ensemble began a research process into the musics of Singapore's early Chinese migrants. Interviewing, documenting and learning from a community of first-generation masters, luthiers, instrument dealers and proteges from the local Cantonese, Hokkien and Teochew music traditions, The Forefathers Project marks an initiative by The TENG Ensemble that has been four years in the making. In The Forefathers Project, The TENG Ensemble innovates age-old traditions, celebrates Singapore’s unsung Chinese music pioneers and reimagines the sounds that were carried in the hearts of Singapore’s Chinese forefathers. -- About the Ensemble: The TENG Ensemble is a critically acclaimed Singaporean Chinese fusion music group that bridges between cultures East and West, boasting musical influences from both the traditional and the contemporary.
