ASIA LIVE — Official Anthem
Festival Theme Song | April 2026
Created as the Official Anthem for ASIA LIVE, a City of Sydney-sponsored cultural festival delivered by Bespok3.
The brief was to create a hero song that felt epic, cinematic and impactful. The creative process began with research into the festival’s purpose, programming and cultural identity, which informed the lyrics and musical direction.
The finished work combines contrasting male and female vocals with cinematic scale, contemporary pop production, electronic rhythm, deep bass, layered synthesiser textures and Asian-inspired percussion.
The result is a modern, global and celebratory festival anthem designed to reflect the energy and cultural spirit of ASIA LIVE.
Role: Lyrics, composition concept, creative and musical direction
THE SANCTUARY — Flowers of Asia / Sanctuary of Asia
Two Immersive Installation Soundscapes | April 2026
Created for THE SANCTUARY installations at ASIA LIVE, these two original soundscape works were designed to complement the visual environment and create a space for calm, reflection and wellbeing.
Flowers of Asia and Sanctuary of Asia were each formed from three original instrumental compositions seamlessly joined into one continuous listening experience.
The musical palette brought together Asian and Western instrumentation, including guzheng, pipa, flute, gong, piano, violin, strings and percussion, creating a contemporary East-meets-West sound aligned with the cultural spirit of ASIA LIVE.

ARTISTRY — Brand Sound
Original Brand Music | February 2026
Created for The Artistry by Bespok3, this original brand sound was developed as an inspirational pop anthem with the energy and scale of a triumphant festival finale.
The composition blends contemporary pop with vibrant world-music influences, building through acoustic guitar, warm piano, modern drums and world percussion including congas, cajón and organic handclaps. Brass accents, synth pads and soaring strings expand the arrangement into a bright, celebratory and stadium-ready sound.
A complementary male-female duet drives the vocal arrangement, moving from individual male and female leads into layered harmonies through the chorus and bridge.
The result is an uplifting, rhythmic and anthemic work designed to feel both deeply human and grand in scale.
