LOW INTENSITY



When you walk down the street in suburban Missouri, you hear cars passing by and gets stares from overweight drivers wondering why you'd actually walk somewhere. When you walk down the street in a cosmopolitan metropolis like Singapore, you're very likely to hear a real person playing music who is glad you're walking by and hopes that you'll stop and listen for a bit. In Asia, most of the buskers are handicapped, but there is a growing, underground movement of talented musicians that are taking it to the streets.

Last weekend I happened to run into a group called Low Intensity performing in the underpass between Wheelock Place and the Shaw Center. I snapped a few photos and went to their website. It turns out this group has been getting a little publicity lately and was featured on Channel News Asia.

Hey Cullen, thanks for being the generous passer-by to take shots and passing them to us.

Coolness our paths crossed below the underpass of Borders and Shaw.

See you in another underpass somewhere in town!
