Electric Requiem: God Save The Queen


This is one of Samson's work that is more politically related. Based on the fact that Queen's Pier is about to relocated, a few artists came up with the idea that protest through their work. Samson is one of them, using music as his main medium, along with graphic design, light design and choreography.

The low pitch of music in the beginning not only tell peoples' sadness but disappointment as well. I think this is a great piece of work because it combines lots of different performance of art all together into a piece. Though inspired by composer Peter Maxwell Davies "Eight Songs for a Mad King", Samson's work is quite original still, expressing his feeling trough four different kinds of style.
