Howie Lee Birdy Island
Inside 'Birdy Island's 30-minute gallery of collaged sound, Lee draws on a wide history of traditional pan-Asian music, filtered through his unique lens of contemporary electronic production. Threads elements of traditional Chinese folk, OST-style sound design, ceremonial Taoist music, jazz fusion and stripped-back UK grime sonics. Based on Lee's own long-formed concept of a Sicilian theme park in the sky, co-inhabited by both birds and ancestral spirits. Lee has been invited to compose the official Birdy Island soundtrack.
