imaginary soundscapes

Mo-Men-T is a Hong Kong-based quintet, formed in 2012 as an ultra-modern jazz affair.  The collaboration soon bore fruit, as each member added their unique musical influences.  From this came a creative mixture of modern jazz, funk and post-rock.  The result is a fresh sonic experience that is at once familiar and unpredictable.  The band’s compositions are edgy and adventurous, stretching from a piano whisper to fiery fortes. 

In the band’s live performances, as the music evolves from logical to free-form, patient to aggressive, the listener is exposed to the shifting gravities of improvised music.  To add fuel to the fire, Mo-Men-T is not afraid to tread the avant-garde, a bold and exciting musical frontier replete with meter-less and atonal forays.

Mo-Men-T’s debut EP, “Compositions and Improvisation”, was released in 2012, and its full-length album, “Infinite Lines”, was released in 2013.  The band has performed at a variety of local and international music venues, notably the Hong Kong Green Jazz Festival, the Hong Kong People’s Fringe Festival and the Taichung Jazz Festival, Taiwan.
