Fallen City is presented through innovative approaches: seismographic illustrations incorporated in media arts projection and graphical music scores; live video camera tracking enhancing interaction across disciplines; and a handcrafted large musical pendulum creating spectacular visual effects, simulating earthquake waves, and interacting with live cutting edge music performed by Proliferasian. Collaborating with ShakeOutBC, Natural Resources Canada, and Northwest Seismic Consultants, Fallen City brings an educational exhibition in the theatre lobby to give insight on earthquake risk management.Proliferasian blends Asian traditions with avant-garde jazz on cross-cultural instruments: Lan Tung on erhu &amp; voice; JP Carter on trumpet &amp; electronics; Kevin Romain on drums; Colin Cowan on bass; and Dailin Hsieh on zheng. Fallen City is the brainchild of 3 siblings from Taiwan - Lan Tung (producer/musician/composer), Dr. Dorian Tung (researcher/earthquake engineer), and Li Tung (visual artist/performer). The collaborators include media artist company Chimerik 似不像 (Shang-Han Chien &amp; Sammy Chien), software designer Arne Eigenfeldt, and sound design artist Jeremy O'Neill.

“Enter sonic territory that’s never been explored before”, SHAW TV Formed in 2012, Proliferasian performs cutting edge music rooted in Asian traditions and avant-garde jazz. Proliferasian’s cross-cultural instrumentation includes Lan Tung on erhu (Chinese violin) and voice, JP Carter on trumpet and electronics, Kevin Roman on drums, Colin Cowan on bass, and Dailin Hsieh on zheng (Chinese zither). Together the musicians explore the contrasting, complementary, and sometimes contradictory nature of multiple genres. The result is a new “musical species” that proliferates and transforms continuously. Proliferasian is named after a composition by the late legendary Vancouver pianist/improviser Paul Plimley. Honouring the spirit of the musical wizard, Proliferasian may take inspiration from Asian music, literature, landscapes, legends, or paintings, but its music will definitely break any preconceptions of Asian cultures.

Sound of Dragon Society preserves ancient traditions of Chinese music and celebrates diversity and creativity in the contemporary applications of this music, resulting from the interaction between musicians of various ethnic and musical backgrounds. By presenting musicians and ensembles from different ethnicities, nationalities, and musical trainings/genres, Sound of Dragon Society re-defines Chinese music and reflects Vancouver’s multicultural environment and a highly creative music scene. Established in 2013, the Sound of Dragon Society is a non-profit organization in BC, Canada.
