I’m gearing up for my performance with Kou Chou Ching, Chang Jui-chuan and DJ Point at The Wall in Taipei this coming weekend. I admit to being a little nervous about the show – The Wall is a pretty important club and since my sets are improvised there’s always the possibility that things go South. That said, the set that I’m presenting here today turned out to be a real confidence booster, along with the capacity crowd at Substance. Thanks to everyone who came out – having you along for the ride makes it all worthwhile.

Enjoy Live Online #18.

This week’s set features Buddhist chanting from China – very similar to the style of chanting we hear all over Taiwan, too. Most recently I was exposed to these haunting sounds during the funeral ceremonies for my grandfather-in-law, though it didn’t feel appropriate to make recordings of my own then. As a stand-in, I used this recording by Ed Unlike that I found on SoundCloud. It’s used under the following Creative Commons license:

Finding Nego Elias’ vocals has been one of the highlights of using ccMixter for me. I used his vocals from a track by C Dala in When You Come from the Stone Bell EP. I was delighted to find more vocals by the Dala/Elias team and have made extensive use of it in this set under the following Creative Commons license:
