Hieu’s first concert was also Microwave Soups’ first concert. A first for many of us, and what a joyride it turned out to be.

The headspace expands. The headspace grows. The headspace becomes a gleaming light. We caught a glimpse of it, and we had a lot of fun.

A very big thank you to everyone who poured their time, care and energy into shaping this headspace with us, and to everyone who supported us throughout this special project. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Production Design for Down With It MV

Monkey mode, off the leash. We rode around the city with the team: rawness of what already stood, built against what we staged. Texture doesn’t let you cheat.

Groundfloor layer
INSTINCT LEAVES TRACES EVERYWHERE
An underground, submerged landscape of instinct, ecstasy, fluidity, and desire.
Bodies blur into creatures of the night.

Tầng sát sàn
BẢN NĂNG ĐỂ LẠI VẾT Ở KHẮP NƠI
Một phong cảnh ngầm, chìm khuất của bản năng, của sự xuất thần, uyển chuyển và ham muốn. Cơ thể tan dần thành những sinh thể trong màn đêm.

In an unexpected turn of events, this World Cup accidentally explained our exercise for Mắt Nhắm Mắt Mở: re-photographing an image, catching its reflections, its noise, its texture - despite being technically compromised, yet somehow closer to how the image should feel. We'd asked the same question months earlier. Hiếu's headspace was never a purely digital, first-generation image: it's a photograph of a photograph, losing crisp information but gaining grains of emotion.

Every image in the MNMM universe starts as a photograph, gets displayed on another surface, then photographed again; never the original, always mediated. Briefly analog. Hiếu never knew the backstory. He just said it felt right. Because they were solving the same problem: how do you preserve a feeling, instead of just preserving a picture?

Một vài ghi chú từ Vật Trong Kính cho tới Vạn Vật Ở Trong Kính.

Vertical Parade Under Glass is an installation that portrays a generation constantly, always performing itself, each with its own miniature gesture at a time.

Three layers of life, stacked vertically. The primitiveness of instinct, human-like, seaborne creatures. The marches of people and infrastructure, twirling up as they form and escape daily production. Then, imagination starts to break free entirely, into winged creatures of the sky.

It took just as much work to build as it did to imagine: 3D sculpting, blueprints, printers running day and night. Hand-painting, texturing, the chaotic final touches of wiring and light casting on every single object.

As the parade enters its final days inside the dome, let's catch one last look before it vanishes into thin air (or, realistically, marches into our warehouse).
