Good news! The series is back!
If you have not catched the show, you should. Put aside your skepticism, if any, and be amazed at how seemingly "un-musical" sounds or rather noises (e.g. trucks) can be transformed into modern rhythms under the hands of creative sound engineers.
In the episode featuring lawyer turned jazz singer Rani Singam and tribal house DJ Aldrin Quek, the theme was "wild". Sounds of animals, rushing water, etc, were recorded at the zoo and Wild Wild Wet. The recordings were then edited, manipulated & mixed - much like the sort of you hear in discos. Once done, the actual work began.
The song began with a shout which was actually a crowd watching a show at the zoo. That was followed by Rani telling a story of her trip to the zoo and all that. Sounds & videos of animals, children playing at WWW, etc, were incorporated into it. The whole concept & MTV will certainly make you smile and laugh too.
So don't forget to join jazz pianist Aya Sekine & rapper Freaky Z in the new series.
Unfortunately, the dates of who will appear when is not available at okto.

FREQUENCY OF THE CITY 2
FREQUENCY OF THE CITY 2 takes Singaporean musicians from the stage to the streets in an innovative music series that challenges them to create new works of art!
Armed with only an MD player and 2 tapes, our musical duo from different musical backgrounds collect sounds from various locations in Singapore that inspire them and collaborate to create a distinctive soundscape.
While following the creative process, we also learn who these musicians are and what kind of music they play. We also get history information that will help piece together the music history of Singapore - masterpieces are created from both personal styles and everyday Singapore sounds!
At the end of their endeavor, both our musicians’ composition is featured in a visual music montage concocted by the director. The music video will feature the musician at work and the particular location in a novel and dramatic manner.
