The inaugural Yellowren Arts Festival was held on August 30th, a festival that aims to “bring together innovative local artists to showcase a series of art exhibitions, hands-on activities and music performances”. White Noise Quartet (fronted by Juliet Pang and Didi Mudigdo of Peachy Sounds events band Midnight Sun) performed their original jazz vocal compositions to kick off this 3-day festival. A big thanks to Jeremy and Calvin from Yellowren for having us, and these great photos!
Today the core members of Midnight Sun performed their original compositions as White Noise at Artistry, Singapore’s favourite art gallery cafe. A big thanks to proprietor Marcel Heijnen for having us there and his wonderful photos!

Today White Noise Quartet (featuring principal members of Midnight Sun) presented an alternative lineup to their usual piano/bass/drums rhythm section format. This time, the Quartet featured violinist Lim Hui and percussionist Jeremy Yeo, musicians who had previously been featured on Juliet Pang‘s debut CD Perfect Journey. The venue was a rustic cafe on Owen Road, L’etoile, and the performance featured the original compositions on the CD albums Perfect Journey (2010) and White Noise Live (2012), as well as recently written new compositions.
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.
‘mimuthings‘ are two fabulous little characters created in 2002 by the talented Hong Kong designer and handcrafter Fion Wong Pui Man. In May, she held an exhibition of her designs that featured mimuthings at Singapore’s Monster Gallery. Polkadot + Moonbeam (in roving acoustic unplugged mode) was the featured musical act of the exhibition.
On May 22nd, Polkadot + Moonbeam shot a series of videos at Perth’s Tartine Café. The magnificent colourful birds painted by Sydney-based artist Anya Brock provided a contrasting backdrop to the not-so-colourful bird in the song. A big thanks to propietor Niall Lawlor for having us at his wonderful cafe!
