Synopsis: Tom Waits For Nobody - A Soundtrack For An Animated Film They Can't Afford is a collaboration between veteran sound artists Zai Kuning, Leslie Low, Yuen Chee Wai, and Koichi Shimizu (Bangkok) as they create a sound track for a story of a boy who ran away from home to see the circus and only discovering his special talent moments before he dies. The sound exploration is based on a structured composition by Zai, Leslie and Chee Wai using acoustics and electronic musical means while Koichi, through manipulation of live sound feeds, will contribute to different layers of sound texture.

The performance will also be accompanied by Zai Kuning's inspired drawings of the story. For more information, please visit onisstudio.blogspot.com.
