Fantastic news from Kou Chou Ching. Their album Kou!! It’s Coming Out!!! that I mixed and mastered has been nominated in the category of Best Taiwanese Album at this year’s Golden Melody Awards. Kou Chou Ching received a second nomination for best band, and I can’t tell you how excited I am for them. (Not to be outdone, Jay Chou was nominated for no less than 8 awards.) The GMA is pretty massive, influential in Taiwan, Mainland China and throughout Asia. I’m in awe ;^) Since Kou invited us to attend the ceremony in July, Em. and I can’t stop discussing what we could possibly wear.

Kou Chou Ching are also featured on the CC Asia Band Project (aka CABACA) that I’m working on. The project has really kicked into high gear over the last two weeks. We were in Taipei last Sunday to track drums for three song (thanks Bobo!) along with Chang Jui-chuan’s vocals for my track. No time to catch my breath really, so if you’ll excuse me, I’d better get back to mixing…

UPDATE:

CC Taiwan’s Chuang Tyng-Ruey took these cool pics at the recording session in Taipei:

Well, we’re on the final stretch of work on the CC Asia album that I mentioned here, and it’s going to be an interesting one with contributions from artists from Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong, The Philippines and possibly Japan. I’ll be heading to Taipei again this weekend to track drums for three of the collaboration tracks and also Chang Jui-chuan’s vocals for my contribution.  Crunch-time ;^)
