Formed in 2016 as a neo-chamber ensemble, Sea Island & Ferry is one of the very few instrumental acts that have remained active beyond a decade in Hong Kong’s independent music scene. Whether telling stories about migration, sexual minorities, climate change, or life in general, people and objects in their home base of Hong Kong play a major part in inspiring the group’s music.

Sea Island & Ferry has built a firm foundation in creating and recording music projects. Beginning with Crossings in 2018, the group has maintained a pace of releasing an album every two years. After Telescope, released in 2020 and enthusiastically received by local critics, the group presents their third recording project in 2022. Released digitally in two tranches, the project As if brings to its audience a dual collection of works with contrasting theses and moods, and garnered the ensemble with an award from the Hong Kong Music Critics Choice, as Band/Group of the Year 2022.  

The group also seeks to expand possibilities in terms of collaborating with other artists in different media. Collorating with director 6 @ RubberBand, Sea Island & Ferry presented their first multimedia concert “Crossings - Music X Films”, with short films set to works in the group’s first album. More recently in 2022, the group was invited to create music for an exhibition titled In-Between at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, mashing up with animations, installations and other types of artwork, and culminating in the EP “As if - I. In-Between”. Members also worked on the original score for the documentary “To Be Continued”, which premiered at the Hong Kong International Film Festival 2023.

Sea Island & Ferry has been performing locally in Hong Kong and overseas — appearing at eccentric local venues, and also charting its course in Macau, Taiwan and Okinawa, Japan. The ensemble most recently toured the UK in 2024, including two shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. After a short break of two years, the group will launch a series of gigs in winter 2026 at cosier settings in Hong Kong to celebrate with fans their 10th anniversary.

「海島小輪」屬於很少數能在香港獨立音樂圈中維持活動超過10年的純音樂組合。於2016年組成，自稱「新派室樂」組合。無論寫的是移民潮、性少眾、氣候暖化或是人生，他們演奏的不少都是受香港的人與物啟發而創作的音樂。

「海島小輪」也是一隊札根於創作和錄音室製作的組合。由2018年的《Crossings》開始，團隊維持約兩年推出一張原創專輯的進度。繼2020年推出，獲得多位本地樂評人熱烈推介的專輯《Telescope》之後，團隊於2022年推出第三個錄音室企劃《As if》，以兩張EP的形式將兩套不同主題、氣氛迴異的作品帶給觀眾，並憑此作品獲香港樂評選推選為2022年度樂團。

團隊亦積極開拓跟不同藝術單位合作的可能性。在2018年推出首張專輯時，已經配上由樂隊RubberBand主音兼導演6號創作的短片電影，舉行了多媒體音樂會「《渡》音樂x影像航行」。2022年獲邀請為香港藝術館的展覽「行行重行行」譜出樂章，與動畫、裝置或其他不同媒介作品連乘，並將相關樂曲結集於《As if - I. In-Between》EP之中。成員並為講述皇都戲院起源及其創辦人歐德禮軼事的紀錄片《尚未完場》創作及演奏配樂，影片於 2023 年香港國際電影節中首映。 

自2016年成立以來，「海島小輪」一直積極參與在香港和外地的演出。他們曾經跟不少本地具有特色的場地合作舉辦演出，足跡亦遍及澳門、台灣和日本沖繩等地。團隊最近一次是海外演出2024年的英國巡演，包括於愛丁堡藝穗節的兩場演出。蟄伏兩年之後，團隊將於2026年冬季在香港展開一系列小型演出，與樂友一同慶祝10週年。
