CONVENE 清雅集
aD. 号外 CONVENE - Cedrik Fermont
Guest Artist:
Cedrik Fermont | Cedrik Fermont | Composer, Musician, Mastering Engineer, Author, Radio Host
We’re excited to welcome Cedrik Fermont to Singapore and honoured to host a special experimental music session at Ruan Tang.
This intimate gathering invites audiences into a focused listening space where sound is explored as texture, energy, and presence. Through live electronics and improvisation, the session unfolds in real time—responsive to the room, the moment, and the collective attention of those present. Rather than a conventional concert, the evening offers an immersive encounter that encourages curiosity, deep listening, and openness to unfamiliar sonic landscapes.
Ruan Tang is delighted to be a meeting point for this exchange, bringing together an international experimental voice and Singapore’s curious listening community. Whether you are deeply engaged with experimental sound or simply eager to experience something different, this session promises a rare and memorable evening of shared listening, exploration, and discovery.
