The Sovannaphum series is a journey through the eyes of the artist, Oussa Mira Bun, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), where imagination takes flight and the world is reimagined through the medium of travel posters. Each poster is a portal, inviting the viewer to step into an alternate Earth, a place where the familiar and the strange coexist in perfect harmony. The vintage and mid-century aesthetic of the posters serve as a nostalgic nod to the golden age of travel, while the intricate details and vivid colors transport the viewer to a realm of boundless possibility. The PiPhop Lok series is a celebration of world-building art, a sneak peeks into an alternate Earth that is both different and eerily similar to our own.

The Golden Era
The golden era of Cambodian music refers to a period in the 1960s and 1970s when Cambodia's music scene was thriving and diverse. This era is often considered to be the peak of Cambodian music history and produced some of the most well-known and influential Cambodian musicians of all time.
During this period, Cambodian music was heavily influenced by Western styles, such as rock and roll, blues, and soul, as well as traditional Cambodian music. This fusion of styles gave birth to a unique and dynamic Cambodian sound. The most popular genres during this era were Cambodian rock and Cambodian pop.
Cambodian rock was characterized by its powerful electric guitar riffs and strong vocals, while Cambodian pop was characterized by its catchy melodies, upbeat rhythms, and danceable beats. These styles of music were played in clubs, bars, and music venues across the country, and were enjoyed by people of all ages.
Some of the most popular and influential Cambodian musicians of this era included Sinn Sisamouth, Ros Serey Sothea, and Pan Ron, who were known for their powerful voices and their ability to blend traditional Cambodian music with Western styles.
This golden era of Cambodian music came to a tragic end when the Khmer Rouge came to power in 1975 and implemented a cultural revolution, during which they banned music and killed many musicians, putting an end to this vibrant and rich music scene.
Even though this era was short-lived, it left a lasting impact on Cambodian music and culture, and the music of this era is still celebrated and remembered today as a vital part of Cambodian heritage.
