The Touch adaptation Looper Trouper is a portable, battery-operated interactive sound player with 16 braille buttons. When pressed, the buttons trigger sounds of everyday life in Singapore and samples of drumbeats. The player was created with the visually impaired community in mind as sound plays a vital role in their daily lives, replacing visual cues as a communication tool. Participants can take the opportunity to reinvent the mundane and compose their own unique soundtracks.

The original artwork, Conducting Memories, is an interactive sound installation featuring a selection of 64 sounds that characterise everyday life in Singapore from the past and present.
