Watch South-East Asian MIDEM 2012 at home
If you are not in France from 28TH - 31ST January 2012 to catch the world’s largest music conference, MIDEM (in short for Marché International du Disque et de l’Edition Musicale), fret not.
StreamJam - a 24 hour online platform for live music - has made the reverse come true, where anyone in the world can catch the acts that performed at midem no matter where they are, assuming that internet connection is available and accessible.
(Also check out 6 other ways you can follow midem live.)
Starting from today, the festival is hosting a series of crucial and exciting panel discussion - such as entrepreneurship in the music industry; working with music managers and record labels; marketing strategies from experts in the field; the tool of using YouTube; partnerships with brands such as Coca Cola; live music and touring, the list goes on.
We narrow it down to the context of South-East Asia and here is the festival lineup (which will be broadcasted on StreamJam via Facebook on 31ST January):
1800 to 1845 Hours
Charles J Tan (Singapore)
Essential listening: Daylight, Fell In Love, What’s It All About
Website: official website, bandcamp, twitter, facebook, tumblrCharles’ stable blend of acoustic, folk and pop brings us on a rollercoaster ride. From heartbreaker Almost Sunday, to tearjerker Daylight, each song never fails to throb our heart a little. Download The Pelham Sessions | Live In Asia (Singapore) here free.
1850 to 1945 Hours
The Great Spy Experiment (Singapore)
Essential listening: Late Night Request, Class ‘A’ Love Affair, Flower Show Riots
Website: myspace, twitter, facebook
Drums, tight beats, and sick electric guitar moves is what the band does best for sure. Not just another Arctic Monkeys, they have developed their own taste and possibly even their own genre in Singapore’s music scene.
1950 to 2045 Hours
The Young Liars (Indonesia)
Essential listening: Here Alone
Website: soundcloud, twitter, facebook
Having recently released their EP, their songs are heavy, unrepressed and confident. A great emotional release for any stressed souls out there.
2050 to 2145 Hours
Tenderfist (Malaysia)
Essential listening: This Wasted Heart, Soft Sun, Everything’s Gone
Website: myspace, twitter, facebook
One of the best in Asia (and probably international) sound artists, they bring synth music to a whole new level - where sonics becomes more than just a form of art but an album to stay.
2150 to 2245 Hours
White Shoes and The Couples Company (Indonesia)
Essential listening: Masa Remadja, Senja Menggila, Aksi Kucing, Sans Titre
Website: myspace, twitter, facebook
Everything is memorable about them. Whether is it their catchy, groovy tunes, 60s image or powerful stage presence, they have taken the world by storm through artistic creations.
Hold on tight as the camera crew also goes backstage to see what’s going on and will conduct a live interview session for ardent supporters to converse with their favourite musicians.
