Tom Pryor, music supervisor for National Geographic’s On Line
World Music
Site, past editor of Global Rhythm Magazine "A Moving Sound is one of the most original outfits working in the
world
music arena today, an inspired marriage of Taiwanese traditional sounds
and
Western pop experimentation that forges an important new musical
dialogue."
Add to My Profile | More Videos Grand Performances, a national leader in performing arts presentation based in Los Angeles, describes A Moving Sound as part of their 2007 performance calendar: ?Grand Performances' commitment to finding virtuostic artists from Asia and the Asian diaspora has struck gold with the Taipei-based A Moving Sound. The ensemble has carved out a unique niche, incorporating movement and sound to create a magical, expressive musical experience.
Traditional Taiwanese, Chinese and neighboring Asian music forms are fused with modern western song compositions. Instruments such as the Chinese erhu (a vertically held, bowed instrument), the zhong ruan (Chinese guitar), an assortment of western instruments, and the transcendent vocals and dance of lead singer Mia Hsieh, transport listeners on a journey that Global Rhythm magazine describes as ?...delicately balanced between many worlds…an entryway to Eastern music and artful expression of the human condition."
A Moving Sound has attracted international attention for opening doors to the under explored territory that is Pan-Asian music. The group is intensely passionate about how it presents the use of traditional instruments in its contemporary sound. Their approach is to be holistic – combining art, spirituality, social awareness, and a universal love of humanity play key roles in the creative process.
A Moving Sound is very active in the Asian-Pacific region, performing concerts, appearing at festivals, offering workshops, working with communities and collaborating with artists from all over the world. For the group, performances in venues throughout Asia, North America and Europe are more than just sharing its music with audiences, it is also sharing, as the members state, ?[A] hope to be a resource and a catalyst for dynamic creative energy. A belief that creativity is a light that helps us all to reach our full potential."

Saturday's excursion sees Viba, performing his last set in Taipei for a while – Funked Trip Hop and electro-tinged house that has wowed audiences across the island is on the menu. With his debut album East/West Relations out on Bubble Bomb Records, Viba is certainly a rising star in the world of electronica and one to watch out for on the island
Though MoShang performs at least three times a week in the Second Life online world (his recent performance at the SecondFest in SL saw him billed with the likes of Pet Shop Boys and Groove Armada), his performances on the island have been rather scarce of late. Don’t miss the chance to see MoShang performing his Chinese Chill brand of downtempo electronica live. His 2006 release Chill Dynasty has been doing well in stores around the island.
KTK will be thrilling us with more experimental beats created from an array of electronic gadgetry. This duo has been performing regularly over the past few months and have been building a reputation f
