Roast Fish And Corn Bread: Fish Island kids dancing to Lee Scratch Perry
Building the Black Ark of Cambodia and dancing towards a brighter future! It’s always a nice surprise to wake up and hear that somebody, somewhere has shared something really cool about our work in Cambodia or has at least there has been some kinda really cool connection made. Kind of like transmitting out our message […]
Making Movies: Super-8 Sci-Fi in the time of COVID-19
There’s no doubt, we’re living through strange times. I feel for all the people whose lives have been deeply and suddenly affected by COVID and for many of our fellow musicians and artist who live and depend upon the ‘gig economy’ just to do what they do and to support their art. This is a […]
Space Echoes! Sam Dara, The CSP Mothership meets The Maitland Space Project
COVID-19 has already taken its toll on how we all live and work and is no doubt devastation for many around the world. Our hearts go out to all those adversely affected and of course, we are all worried for friends and family in Cambodia, where the abrupt halt to tourism and the economy most […]
Kak Channthy: like a brilliant star she shines brightly
On this day, two years ago, we lost Channthy to an utterly senseless road accident in Phnom Penh I can still hear her voice, not her singing voice but her speaking voice, and when speaking to me, Channthy could be cheeky, witty, joyous and just too funny or at other times, snappy and firey but […]
Good Times, Fun Times and 7 days & nights aboard the CSP Mothership.
Good Times is the right word to describe this last week here in Cambodia. It’s also the name of a little bar, a place which boasts the smallest stage in Phnom Penh and a place that has inspired us to bring to the stage “Sochi, Dara and Julien” as a trio to showcase just some […]

This will be fun! it’s the first time I’ve had a chance to get together with Sochi and Dara and perform ‘a little acoustic preview’… taste of some of the cool new music we’ve been working on, and this is pretty exciting! It’s also something that has been in the pipeline for a while but […]
We’ve got the funk! we got the Rat Catcher and we gotta big whiff of durian
Yep! we’ve got the funk alright… so, according to the unwritten laws of rock’n’roll, it’s usually it’s the bass player, but this time we reckon it’s the actual same funk that George Clinton kicked overboard (the Funk was lost at sea by Parliament on 2 July 1979, “the day the funk died”) and it’s here […]
Echoes Across The Mountains: The Road Back to Bou’Sraa
There’s real magic in the mountainous Cambodian province of Mondulkiri. I get an overwhelming sense of this as soon as I arrive here in the district capital Senmonorom. There’s something in the air alright, I mean after 7hrs in a jam-packed minibus from Phnom Penh, the first thing you feel immediately on arrival is a […]
Kak Channthy speaks with Cassie Ching on Love, Songs and Cows
Please briefly introduce yourself and Cambodian Space Project. My name is Channthy, full name Kak Channthy but sometimes I’m called Srey Thy – this just means Miss Thy in Cambodia. I’m best known as singer/songwriter with The Cambodian Space Project – a cross-cultural mix of musicians first formed by myself and Australian guitarist Julien Poulson […]
