New Album
SONIC APOTHECARY
by Rosey Chan
March 26 2021
I'm very excited to launch this album because it's the culmination of 3 months of hard work and study, and learning about the effects of music on the brain.
During this time, I met some of the world's best and most knowledgeable experts in the fields of sleep, well-being and neuroscience and they shared their advice and guidance with me.
I’d like to share this subconscious therapeutic experience with others.
Think of this as your personal musical pharmacy !

World Sleep Day
March 19 2021
Once the CEO of World Sleep Society heard Sonic Apothecary, he wanted to involve Rosey in World Sleep Day 2021 and invited her to sit down with Lourdes DelRosso, Co-chair of World Sleep Day 2021, to discuss sleep and music. You can watch part of their inspiring and informative conversation here.

NEW SINGLE
“Water is Life”

March 19 2021
Today is World Sleep Day so it seems fitting to release a new single from my upcoming album 💿 SONIC APOTHECARY (Full album out March 26th)
Water is Life was written to induce calm, tranquility and, ultimately, sleep. I hope it will wash over you and bring you sweet dreams...😴
NEW SINGLE
“INFINITY”
out today!
March 12 2021
I’m excited to share the first single from my upcoming album 💿 “SONIC APOTHECARY” (Full Album out 26th March)
The ethos and my thought process behind the album was born from a desire to start looking inward more, and self medicating myself through my music (playing the piano is also a way for me to meditate, You have these harmonies of calming frequencies of sound combined with the nature that I suddenly hear outside... It’s such a grounding, soothing, therapeutic feeling which helps me feel in flow)
It started with my Mindful Piano playlist but I decided to dive deeper into the subject after friends and family told me that my music was a great balm to either their teething babies, feelings of isolation, stimulating creativity, meditation/yoga, running, biking, martial arts, coping with anxiety and even inducing deep sleep (Full 💿 drops March 26)
To learn about the effect of music on physical well-being, I contacted some of the world's leading experts on sleep, mental health and stress to educate myself into how I can use my music to musically-medicate people. Ultimately, I invited some of these experts to help me along this journey. The result was Sonic Apothecary - beginning with this first single, released today “Infinity”
Thank you to my @weareplatoon family for believing in this project and making it happen, a privilege to immerse myself in such a #creativecommunity something we all need to continue cultivating ...
Much gratitude 🔮#dreamteam

“Audrey”
EA Festival
I'm excited to announce one of my first live engagements since COVID-19, 31 July at EA Festival, a new festival on the border of Essex and Suffolk taking place in the idyllic grounds of Hedingham Castle. For that appearance, I will be sharing a double bill with Evelyn Glennie, the legendary percussionist. The first half of the session will be Evelyn giving a talk and musical demonstration about How to Listen. In the second half, I will play piano and electronica across a range of styles and genres. To finish, the two of us will join up to compare notes about our careers, music-making and how we both love to collaborate.
Tickets will go on sale at www.eafestival.com this month, March 2021.
SOUND BATH
🇬🇧 — Now that we're in Tier 5, serenity and centred-ness are more important than ever. I created today's soundbath, a multi-layered wall of sound overlaid with prepared piano, to block out the distress and uncertainty of this pandemic. I used the piano strings to evoke an imaginary Zen harp - John Cage style not just as an instrument with keys and pedals, but a 360 degree source of sound and sensation. Enjoy and stay sane.
This breathwork healing ritual evolves around the calming & harmonic tones of the steel wire piano strings, cellos, and singing bowl.
Try to do this 5-minute ritual for a window of calm
1. LIE or SIT DOWN (choose your position of meditation, get comfortable, your choice)
2. BE STILL (Relax the body, Close your eyes, gaze inwards)
3. BREATH (IN) from the base of your spine to crown of your head. Then (long EXHALE) from the crown, back to the base - Do a few rounds then release the breath and just observe.
4.IMMERSE yourself into the sound🙏
Sound and Music can positively impact health outcomes, catalyse mental and physiological change and has been found to impact a broad array of mental and physical conditions.
This meditative sound therapy
* Promotes Cognitive performance and mental wellness
* Reduce Stress, Anxiety, burnout
* Balances the Chakras
* Helps You 'Get In The Zone'
Have a healing week 🎋🙏🎋

An interview with
Vogue HK
The artist shares the inspiration behind her latest album and talks about her upcoming projects.
“I think that so much of our daily life inspires us; a conversation with a friend, a quote or mantra you once heard that you resonated with, so anything that has been stored in my memory bank really, is always a good source of inspiration, as well as personal experiences and the re-telling of those narratives through music ie themes of love, sadness, tension, relief, romance, humour and so on.”

“Transmissions” by
AUG 2020
Rosey's first transatlantic production during lockdown involving two teams working seamlessly across oceans, continents and time zones.
As Rosey played on the stage of an empty Cadogan Hall in London, film director David Black remotely directed 14 cameras and the London production crew from Valentine recording studios in Los Angeles. The result is an 11-part series capturing the mood of Rosey's breathtaking musical catalogue, transporting all who watch it into the poetic solitude of her musical world.
