Hong Kong ChoP
Hong Kong is an amazingly exciting place. It’s one of the most truly cosmopolitan places in the world, and seems to always be one step ahead of everybody else in terms of fashion, cuisine, literature, and the arts. It’s a fantastic place to go to hide away from the daily grind and come face to face with a better perspective on the world. There is a spectacular sense of taste here, always looking for and expecting the very best. Hong Kong hotels fill these expectations with a superb grace that speaks to the magic of the place. We’ve chosen the best of these, so that you will be assured that your time here is spent staying in accommodations that are excellent in luxury, comfort, and style.
After a gorgeous night’s sleep in the cozy and sophisticated rooms, and perhaps a tasty meal, you’ll be rejuvenated and ready to enjoy all that Hong Kong has to offer you. There are many adventures to choose from here, with cultural scenes that are always evolving, and always booming. One of the most interesting things that can happen in these larger metropolitan areas is the collaboration that can happen between artists here and the rest of the world. It’s a splendid thing, then, to see such a collaboration happening through digital media technologies in the information age. It might be no surprise that there are savvy artists in Hong Kong who have interests in exploring these technologies, but the results can be surprising. Such as the excellent work being created between Hong Kong’s Zen Lu, and Poland’s Grzegorz Bojanek .
The project is called ChoP, and the aesthetics are fascinating. Both artists work in experimental and digital sounds, and they’ve already released a couple of albums based on their thoughts on making new collaborations, and the recent release is a splendid recording called 8 Rooms. The idea here is to send sound files back and forth across the internet, and to modify them in unique ways, then to put the sounds back together. It’s a fascinating project, and the results are equally compelling. Part of the process involves investigating the cultural differences in making and perceiving electronic music, and playing in and out of these realms of difference to make a kind of music that is also a subtle but sharp statement on how cultures can connect in new and unimagined ways.
