Kakiseni, 13 mar 08: Leading the Way
into Chaos
Zalina Lee
Faith Hope Chaos is an anthology
of contemporary Malaysian music, featuring composers such
as Chong Kee Yong, Saidah Rastam, Adeline Wong, Hardesh

as well as Western classical music, have germinated and
grown over the years. The result is a rich tapestry of
music that is a combination of traditional and contemporary
experimentation that both celebrates heritage and respects
change. >view
