about

Soundtrack from Jasmin Kent Rodgman's digital art/sound installation by the same name. Exhibited as part of the Bagri Foundation's At Home in the World series, 2020.

Inspired by abstract tantric painting from Rajasthan, Malay poetry and the composer's own notion of identity and mixed heritage, hot B stars is a collection of 4 miniatures; a digital installation providing fragments of memory and journey at a time of self-isolation.

These snapshots offer up sounds of Chinese and Malaysian culture filtered through the eyes and ears of the ESEA diaspora in London and challenges audiences on outdated tropes and assumptions held of East Asia.

The name hot B stars comes from the star constellation 'The Pleiades', the nearest cluster to Earth and visible to the naked eye in both Malaysia and the UK, as well as many other countries along the way. Taken from the Ancient Greek word 'plein' meaning 'to sail' it is a nod to the significance of the Ancient Greeks to both Europe and Asia, ancient pathways and a reminder that our interconnected history runs deeper than we often think.
