about

Jialat Sian was a concept I came up with back in April 2020 after my dad sent me a video from Singapore he took whilst in quarantine. The beautiful sight contrasting with Neo-futuristic architecture, apocalyptic sun with rain that can only be described as dismal gave me the idea to invite friends of mine to individually make a soundtrack based on their own interpretation of this short video. Coming from different musical backgrounds and cultural upbringing resulted in a unique perception of this footage, resulting in something original albeit correlating in atmosphere.

Jialat Sian are Singlish words derived from the Hokkien dialect. Its meaning translates to “being tired/bored of being drained from one's energy”, which felt like an appropriate title considering the isolation, location and global situation at the time.

Video in question available as a downloadable Bonus Item.
