Last week was the release show for Liminal Beings and Their Echoes. A curious moment - the kind that arrives after months of accumulation. Not quite an ending, but the ceremonial closing of a long, meaningful, agonizing birth.
One must begin, of course, with gratitude.
To Damnably
@damnably for sending our strange little album wandering into the wider world, and UN.TOMORROW
@un.tomorrow for giving it a home in Hong Kong and orchestrating the gathering itself. Rocky
@emptylocke , Medius
@mediuschung , Jojo
@keichingwong , Lilly
@lilly_gato , Mike
@mikekwchan and Toto
@l0kt0 - your patience and steadfast support carried us through, especially during the less elegant moments when things briefly threatened to fall apart. (A quiet nod as well to the mysterious audience member who shouted “Fuck Xxxxxx” - a strangely fitting punctuation.)
DB, as some have learned, is a rather unruly thing to mix. Thank you Bu Chan
@wave_room_studio_obibub , with the assistance of Liam, 俊
@s5.19._ , Stan Chan
@stanchan.csy , Step Ip
@step_ip , Hammer
@tsuihoikit and 真
@frankietsc for deciphering our quirks and shaping them into something coherent.
Then there was the visual dimension: the hypnotic lighting of Fung Sze Yui
@fungszeyui and the live visuals of Hui Hong Nin
@huihongnin - an atmosphere so blinding on stage we were left half-sightless, though the footage later proved the sacrifice worthwhile.
Gratitude as well to the ever-reliable Zenegeist
@zenegeist for ticketing and support - continuing to uphold a rare form of community infrastructure within the Hong Kong indie scene. With special thanks to Jamie
@jamie.liberty , Sandra
@ssssst____ , Sammy, Ringo
@_ring0_an and Hang Jai.
And to photographers and friends Vic
@music_surveillance , Elton Fung
@freedomgum , Gideon
@gideonk1 , and Ethan Lam
@ethanpzylam for preserving the fleeting catharsis of the evening.
And finally - to everyone who came. Those who have been with us since the earliest days (the ones who know every word to Loosefuck - we see you), and those who became recent converts. Our genuine gratitude for sharing this special birth with us.
Dark到盡頭便是愛.
Now go listen to the album ⚪️⚪️
