Abstract:

"A city symphony like no other, Singapore Gaga is the heart that beats in rhythm with the citizens who yearn for something more.  Intricately layered, ordinary and everyday sounds are spun into aural treasures that reflect the people today. 

Using mass displays like the National Day Parade, school cheers and public announcements as well as performances by harmonica virtuosos Yew Hong Chow, avant garde pianist Margaret Leng Tan and itinerant buskers, we discover Singaporeans' complex relationship with Singapore.  This documentary touches on the desire to be heard, to be seen and to be belong, both to Singapore and to the present."--DVD Case
