As part of Esplanade Singapore’s Jazz in July 2013 program, White Noise (featuring the principal members of Midnight Sun) performed together with double bassist and composer/arranger Felix Phang at Esplanade Concourse. The program featured original compositions by vocalist Juliet Pang, pianist Didi Mudigdo as well as a composition by the special guest double bassist Felix Phang.

Today the two principle members of White Noise Quartet (who happen to be the two principle members of Midnight Sun) performed as a duo at Singapore’s favourite little bookstore Books Actually. They played original songs off their CD White Noise Live, and featured talks by the artists who designed the CD cover art: designer Ric Liu and phtographer Tan Ngiap Heng.
