About Me |
|
| Hi, I'm Sook-Yin. I make movies, I write stories, I act in my friends' films. I'm a swimmer, I'm a bicyclist. I've never had a driver's licence. Of all the ways to communicate, singing is one of the few times I can stop thinking (phewf.) I find it very difficult to describe my music. When people ask I say, "Plump with freckles."One time I found a plastic plumbing tube in a construction site and my first impulse was to press it against my lips and blow! Out came a most unearthly sound, like a whale crossed with a trumpet! The last sound to arrest me, was on a trip to New Orleans. A homeless man walked up and asked me for some money. I could hear the cracking sound of his bones.When I was a teenager I used to scream a lot of didactic political punk songs. These days I mostly sing about love in all of its wonderful-horrible beauty.I've posted 4 songs on myspace. The first, "Lunar Lament" uses a wheezy old children's keyboard I found at the Sally Ann for five bucks. You may have heard my pal Neko Case cover my song,"Knock Loud". The version posted here is the original. "Born Free" is my interpretation of a song from the 1974 movie of the same name, about an orphaned lioness cub in captivity. And finally on, "Sweet Dreams, Get up!" my friend, alternative cartoonist Joe Matt (Peepshow) played the keyboards.I work at the Canadian Broadcast Corporation on CBC Radio 1. I host an irreverent pop culture radio show, DEFINITELY NOT THE OPERA that is a personal spin on what is going on in the world! It's on Saturday afternoons at 1PM across Canada. In the US you can hear it on Sirius Satellite Radio 137, or streaming on your computer. Go to www.cbc.ca/dnto to download podcasts, videos and stuff.Here are five videos I made with my friend filmmaker Andrea Dorfman for DNTO. The first one is a music video for BEAUTIFUL, a song I wrote for the Shortbus movie soundtrack. Awesome Owen Pallett from Final Fantasy wrote the lovely DNTO theme song. The final video is a locket sized portrait of my pal Mark Hartmaier. We had a lot of fun making these vids, which just goes to show; HOME MADE + LOW BUDGET =FUN! | |
