Eason's Album

An album that derives from an exploration of my earlier work, designed for Hong Kong singer Eason Chan. While the singer puts in voice the many themes of our life and time, I hope to capture in visuals the many complex and beautiful things found in both music and life.

Composing you

Concept Artist – Judy Jheung
Hardware and ios development – Miles Thorogood
Sound Design – Miles Thorogood
Composition – Gary McFarland
site, sound, touch: Composing You, an interactive outdoor project, engages community park goers in a multitude of ways. An experiential sonic walk encompasses ephemeral moments of past, present and future in Beacon Hill Park, using personal mobile phones and GPS to locate plants hanging from designated trees. Sound and light will activate the moment plants are touched. A personal musical composition will be formed depending on individual navigation routes.
It's Like That
description
It's Like That, y'all. I designed this 180 page hardcover anthology of Hip Hop writings in honour of the music and culture I grew up admiring. The book was sectioned into different aspects of hip hop life and culture, starting with its history and moving through its various effects on popular culture (women in hip hop, violence in hip hop, art and hip hop, etc).
The binding method is called Ethiopian Coptic, and it is done in single page signatures, adding to the weight of the book on one side. This allows it to lay flat on every single page; the book is meant to be read in sittings, and not carried around.

This ebook design is a group project in collaboration with the Museum of Vancouver to create an ebook for its Bhangra.me exhibit that runs from May 5th, 2011 until January 1st, 2012.
Quoting Museum of Vancouver, "Bhangra is a Punjabi folk dance and music that combines lyrical couplets, a strong dhol drum beat, and flowing, graceful movements. What we call Bhangra dance today is really a collection of different folk dances that originated in the Punjab region of Pakistan and India."
