One of Singapore’s most interesting artists, 33-year-old Ang Song-Ming experiments with painting and videos inspired by pop music and musicology. His upcoming show Logical Progressions for Singapore Art Week is a smart two-channel video of the artist performing on a harpsichord to the tune of Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier. He talks to us about art, music and mimicry. 

The last time I was inspired I… made another artwork. My life is quite boring in that way. Most of my time is spent developing ideas and executing them, turning them into art.
 
Music is… something I love a lot. It taught me how to listen.
 
Mimicry is… quite underrated, I think. It has an important function in evolution.
 
The most perplexing thing about the universe is… probably how it came about.
 
There’s a fine line between… enough and too much.
 
Art is… probably something we shouldn't take too seriously.
