Ensembles
Internationally acclaimed veterans of contemporary music, Sirius Quartet combines exhilarating repertoire with unequalled improvisational fire. These conservatory-trained performer-composers shine with precision, soul and a raw energy rarely witnessed on stage, championing a forward-thinking, genre-defying approach that makes labels like 'New Music' sound tame.

SEVEN)SUNS
“Seven)Suns’ work is much more than ‘string quartet interprets metal songs.’ That’s the easy hook, and the quickest entry point, but their incorporation of electronics, and the complexity of Maneein’s compositions and arrangements, make this group something very special and forward-looking. They should be embraced by the neo-classical community every bit as fervently as by adventurous metalheads.”
— Phil Freeman, Burning Ambulance
Blanca Cecelia Gomez, violin
Earl Maneein & Fung Chern Hwei, violin & viola

Two violins, two players. Same spirit.

FUGU
Living in a society that has as much freedom as it has oppression, artists learn to be flexible as the fugu fish — abiding rules and bureaucracy while reaching for a higher level of artistry. FUGU is the combination of two such musicians, never stopped striving for new sounds and beauty, solely with their hands, a theremin, a violin, and a whole lot of inner freedom.
