Festival sets record for longest non-stop techno music event

Guests enjoying the music at the event. An all-day festival has officially secured a spot in the Malaysia Book of Records for the 'Longest Non-Stop Techno Music Event'. Held at Heritage Valley Kuala Lumpur, Connor's Collective drew over 3,700 attendees for 13 hours of continuous music and immersive experiences. Carlsberg Malaysia marketing director Olga Pulyaeva said the festival honoured a community of trailblazers and non-conformists, embodying Connor's brand ethos of being 'Made to Be Different'. Following a Guinness World Record last year for the 'Most People Shaking Drink Cans Simultaneously', she said Connor's continued its innovative spirit by setting this new Malaysian record. 'We didn't just serve quality stout, we brought together a community to defy expectations,' said Pulyaeva. The festival immersed guests in the stout's identity through 'The Great Blend of Four Malts', a cinematic walk-through detailing Connor's brewing story. The experience culminated at the Connor's Bar, where attendees participated in a signature shake ritual with a can of Connor's, a nod to the brand's unique serving style. Beyond the music, the event featured a vibrant array of festival elements. Guests could get personalised jagua tattoos, craft unique upcycled phone straps, join a stencil art workshop and watch a graffiti artist create live art. A sneak preview of the limited-edition Connor's x Doubleback streetwear collaboration was also featured, while Brazilian electronic artiste Liu closed the night. Adding to the musical diversity, the Skate Park Stage offered soul and groove, while the Mixology Bar served Connor's-infused cocktails. Over 20 acts contributed to the day's extensive music programme.

US theatre and opera legend Robert Wilson dead at 83

Celebrated US director Robert Wilson, who revolutionised stage and opera, died on Thursday at the age of 83, his management said. "Robert Wilson died peacefully today in Water Mill, New York, at the age of 83, after a brief but acute illness," said a statement issued on his website. It said he worked right up until the end. Wilson's productions of original works as well as traditional repertoire pieces were hugely popular wherever they were shown. But it was in France where he was best known. It was the French who gave him a "home," Wilson told AFP in 2021. It was in 1976 that Wilson was propelled onto the international stage with Einstein On The Beach, a nearly five-hour opera staged several times since its creation, with music by Philip Glass. Einstein On The Beach broke all the conventions of classical opera - there is no linear narrative but rather it draws on themes related to Einstein's life. It does not aim to explain the theory of relativity but to convey the upheaval introduced by the notion of space-time, notably through dance. Wilson's trademarks included minimalist aesthetics, body language influenced by Asian theatrical forms, and lighting effects evoking dreamlike worlds. Avant garde admiration His love affair with France began with Deafman Glance (Le Regard du Sourd) - his first success - a "silent" seven-hour show presented at the Nancy Festival in 1971, and later in Paris. The show was born out of a real-world incident when in 1967, Wilson saw a 13-year-old Black teenager, Raymond Andrews, being beaten in the street by a police officer. He realized the child was deaf and mute and eventually adopted him. Wilson, also a visual artist, had a string of collaborations including with choreographer Andy de Groat, Tom Waits, Isabelle Huppert for Orlando by Virginia Woolf, Lady Gaga for video portraits of her at the Louvre, and ballet legend Mikhail Baryshnikov. "While facing his diagnosis with clear eyes and determination, he still felt compelled to keep working and creating right up until the very end," the website piece announcing his death said. "His works for the stage, on paper, sculptures and video portraits, as well as The Watermill Center, will endure as Robert Wilson's artistic legacy." Memorials will be held for Wilson at time and locations yet to be announced. Born to a lawyer in October 4, 1941, in Waco, Texas, Wilson was performing his own plays in the family garage by the age of 12, but recalls being bottom of the class at school. He was cured of a severe stutter thanks to a psychotherapist who worked with dance. In his 20s, he landed in New York but hated what he saw in theatres and instinctively gravitated toward the American avant garde: Andy Warhol, John Cage, choreographers George Balanchine, and especially Martha Graham. He relished nurturing emerging talent, and in 1992, created the Watermill Center near New York. - AFP

'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' heads to the orchestral stage in Singapore

After touring North America and Europe, the concert arrives in Singapore this November to mark 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' game's 10th anniversary. Photo: Ethan Lindhout Wind's howling – and soon, so will the cheers of fans at The Witcher in Concert, when the acclaimed fantasy franchise makes its Asian live debut this November. For the first time in the region, audiences can experience the haunting world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt through an immersive orchestral performance at Marina Bay Sands' Sands Theatre in Singapore on Nov 29 and 30. Marking the 10th anniversary of the critically acclaimed game, the 120-minute concert (with intermission) will feature a live orchestra, cinematic visuals, and the Polish folk metal band Percival Schuttenbach – co-creators of the game's distinctive soundtrack. Under the musical direction of co-composer Marcin Przybyłowicz, specially arranged tracks will bring Geralt of Rivia's journey to life, from fierce battle themes to haunting lullabies. In Singapore, the concert will also feature Slavic folk melodies, with a primal edge. Photo: Ethan Lindhout Presented by Base Entertainment Asia and produced in collaboration with CD Projekt Red, Gea Live, and RoadCo Entertainment, the show takes audiences through the war-torn lands of Velen, the stormy shores of Skellige, and the deeply personal quests of the White Wolf himself. Originally a series of novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher became a global phenomenon following the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015, which has sold over 60 million copies and won more than 250 Game of the Year awards. The franchise also inspired a popular Netflix series, introducing characters like Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri to a wider audience. At the upcoming Singapore concert series, audiences will watch gameplay footage and cinematic scenes projected on a large screen, synchronised with every note of the live score to heighten the drama and emotion. It promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans of the game, the series, or orchestral fantasy music. The concert also reflects a growing global trend: music from video games is increasingly finding a place in concert halls, from Final Fantasy and The Legend Of Zelda to Halo and Elden Ring.
