About<br />
Malaysian-born, classically trained multimedia artist Edane<br />
Ng, also known as E-da-nee NG, is a one-of-a-kind pianist.<br />
Her ability to use the most traditional musical instrument to<br />
convey messages about social issues and inequality makes<br />
her a unique voice in the classical music environment.<br />
(Curious Curators, Sound of Life)<br />
Considered by many as one of the most promising stars<br />
among the new generation of classical pianists, Edane won<br />
the Asia Music Competition and the 6th Asian Youth Music<br />
Competition in Malaysia, and many international awards<br />
in Asia and UK. Her commissioned performances and<br />
funders include Brighter Sounds,SoundUK, PINS, Factory<br />
International, Yamaha, Help Musicians UK.<br />
Imaginary Piano Car<br />
During my residency at <strong>Arteles</strong>, my primary emphasis was<br />
on mastering the core principles of drawing, with a specific<br />
focus on shapes, forms, values, and lighting. As I wandered<br />
along the unmarked pedestrian paths of Hahmajarvi, I felt<br />
life's fragility with every step, each step a poignant reminder<br />
of the suffering endured by victims of car accidents.<br />
Inspired by the unique blend of nature and artistry at this<br />
location, I made the creative decision to transform a piano<br />
into an imaginary car, drawing upon the skills and imagination<br />
inspired by nature and the artists here. I am turning this<br />
project into reality when I return to Manchester.<br />
Founder of The daring artists, E-da-nee won the RNCM<br />
Creative Innovators Award and and currently touring the<br />
debut project, Healing Our Child Within. Features include<br />
Factory Sessions, Sound of Life, and Free Malaysia Today.<br />
She was also featured in a short film titled Rebirth Of<br />
Classical Musicians In A Pandemic with BFM 89.9.<br />
As a Southeast Asian female pianist, Edane aspires to use her<br />
voice as a musician to highlight neglected societal concerns,<br />
particularly children rights, and to bring in a new audiences<br />
into the classical music scene.<br />
