HiFi New Music continues on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The first half of this concert will feature recent works for instruments, video and electronics by Samson Young, including his Bloomberg-Emerging-Artist-Award-winning 2 channel-video performance "Po Means Ordinary in Chinese" - in which the composer himself is seen on the streets of Hong Kong dressed as one of the Teletubbies. This piece was recently seen in the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Bi-city Biennale 2007.
 
In the second half of the evening, Young teams up with New York's budding new music collective Matrix Music Collaborators to present a special program of silent film + contemporary music, featuring some of the best loved classics from 1970s Hong Kong cinema.
