Tufa:
Tufa features an experimental fusion of Southeast Asian sounds and electronica. There are mellow electronic and percussive beats with acoustic voice and fretless bass. The group creates a spatial soundscape with a multi-layered texture drawn from a wide variety of sources; Pentatonic melodies mix with Indian/Middle Eastern scales; hints of bluesy-jazz grooves blend with subtle samples; tone poems merge with Chinese chants.
The entire production, under the aesthetic direction of Wei-Zen Ho and the mentorship of Justo Diaz, involves collaboration with visual artists using different mediums to convey the mood and ambience of the music. At the moment the visuals are based on digital video and slide projections.
The latest album by Tufa is entitled Femalia. The music on this album depicts experiences of lead vocalist, Wei-Zen Ho, her migration – both physical and metaphorical- from Malaysia to Australia, and how she has integrated the influences of her Malay-Chinese heritage with the diverse cultural offerings of Australia. Wei-Zen did not grow up in a purist culture, and this is felt strongly through the music and performance of Tufa: ambient soundscapes mix with jazz, blues and performance poetry, experimental electronica merges with world music, the Malay language and Chinese chants are fused with contemporary English.
