• Name: Darren Ng
• Affiliation: The Finger Players Ltd.
• Country: Singapore
• Bio: Darren is a Singapore-based sound artist whose Ethereal-Ethno-Electronic soundbites have established him as one of the most sought-after sound designers and music composer/arranger in the local theatre scene. His innovative use of microphones with a combination of effect processors define him as a unique designer whose sound is one that critics describe as part primordial and part industrial. Trained in classical piano, he has ventured into the digital realm of sampling and synthesis, bringing a new definition to conventional and traditional instruments, proving himself as one of the new sound forces in the local scene. His ambisonic brainchild - SoNiCbRaT has been earning him an audio signature in the underground music movement.

  Darren graduated from the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies and Philosophy. He has been active in the theatre and sound art scene for the last six years. With two nominations on his belt, he won the coveted award of Best Sound Designer at the recently held 6th Straits Times Life! Theatre Awards 2006. He was also the recipient of the 5th Straits Times Life! Theatre Awards 2005 : Honourable Mention for Special Achievement, for Best Sound. The local Straits Times has voted him as one of the top 20 personnel to look out for in 2006. He is the first sound artist to be invited by Asian Civilisation Museum (Empress Place) to sound design for the closure of Journey of Faith, Art & History from the Vatican Collections. He is also currently working on a government project—a sound design installation for the new Singapore History Museum due to open in 2006, where his work will be a main feature in the exhibition for the next five years. He is currently an Associate Sound Designer for The Finger Players Ltd.
