And a sincere thank you to everyone who left comments.

That was fun – let’s do it again soon!

Nice to be back at Substance after missing the show there last week.

Wow, the second milestone came so quickly – 20 episodes and still going strong ;^) That also means you can expect another sample pack in the course of this week.

This week I feature some vocals by Kou Chou Ching from the Unsung Heroes album that I vocoded and used for my set at the Taipei album launch. I’ll check with KCC for permission to include these in the second sample pack.

Speaking of Unsung Heroes, I’ll announce winners of the CD give-away tomorrow. There’s still time if you want to enter – just leave a comment on this post.

Enjoy Live Online #20.

This recording was made at Substance (Second Life) on August 2nd, 2009.

I always get a huge thrill when I have a copy of a CD I’ve worked on in hand – there’s a real sense of achievement and closure. All the more so in the case of Unsung Heroes – as the you can hopefully tell from the animation below, Kou Chou Ching and Phalanx Design have done a sterling job with the packaging and presentation. And hey, I’m a superhero in the album art. Who am I to argue ;^)

Lucky draw time! I have 3 copies of the album to give away. To enter, just leave a comment on this post below (make sure to leave your real e-mail so I can contact you for your address if you win). I’ll let Emily pick winners from a hat and let you know in a week. Good luck!

***UPDATE***

The contest is now closed. Congratulations to our three winners.

I’m still basking in the delicious afterglow of a great album launch event for “Unsung Heroes” at The Wall in Taipei last night. The crowd (somewhere between 300 and 400 people) was fantastic, as was the venue and the sound. I took some steps in the right direction engaging with the audience, but importantly the performance showed me where I can improve in this regard.

Check back at http://moshang.net tomorrow for some video of the Taipei launch and my performance, as well as the chance to win one of three copies of the “Unsung Heroes” CD.

I cancelled my show at Substance today – wisely as it turned out, since we arrived back in Taichung after 3am. This edition of the Live Online is a slightly older archived performance.

Enjoy Live Online #19.

First up is a performance at Luvstock 2009 on Saturday, July 11th. Boston Paul of The Refuge in Dakeng is the organizer of this yearly event that just seems to keep growing. The following performers are confirmed for the two-day event:  DJ-REdo (Dominikolas), Militant Hippi Revolution, Dr. Reniculous lips and the Skallyunz, Plan B, The Stackers, Jon R. (Artist), David & The Flintstones, Waysoon, City of Earth, Point 22, Jagabags, Gruveballs, Tyler Dakin, and myself. Sounds like a party, so if you’re around Taichung on the 11th and 12th you know where to go.

I’m also really excited about performing at The Wall in Taipei for the first time on July 26th. The occasion is the CD release of “Kou Chou Ching presents: Unsung Heroes”. As we speak, I’m finishing up the master for the album. There will be performances by all the artists on the album, ie. Kou Chou Ching, Chang Jui-chuan, DJ Point, and myself. This is bound to be a goodie! More info (in Chinese) here.
