Following the full orchestral release back in 2021, Dr Susan Lim and Manu Martin bring you the Lim Fantasy of Companionship Chamber Suite. Society currently finds itself at an intersection of technology and humanity: as physical forms embedded with Artificial Intelligence systems fulfil an urgent need for previously unimaginable companions, such as robot caregivers, to address the twin challenges of longevity and loneliness. It is precisely this concept of an inanimate-human companionship that pioneer surgeon Dr Susan Lim, together with her co-creative director, Dr Christina Teenz Tan, explore in the Lim Fantasy of Companionship for Piano & Orchestra, composed by Manu Martin. It is hoped that the Fantasy will inspire a discussion about what is life and what is non-life, a topic which no longer just belongs to the confines of medicine, but invites the participation of artists, musicians, psychologists, sociologists, philosophers, engineers, politicians, and more.
