Curation, spatial design, installation and programming for Echoes of the Silk Drum. Over three days, PATINAPATINA collaborated with six selectors in the city - DJs, curators, music nerds - to create a sonic experience traversing the various cultures that make up our diverse city.

Shen, Michael Nyarkoh, Jess Kasiama (kimya), aji, Abdul Kauchali, and Orkid (Erhua) curated sounds for a dance party, listening sessions, and sonic/literary library throughout the weekend. CAPSUL Studio became a space for restorative listening and meaningful conversation around music and cultural exchange. We worked with Abdul Kauchali’s H.A.R.P sound system to deliver an experiential sound like no other.
