Time for a short break from work on Tafubar’s album. It was a long weekeng in Taiwan for Tomb Sweeping Festival and Em. and I headed off to Sun Moon Lake, about 70km from Taichung.  This morning was just beautiful and we grabbed the chance to record some visuals with the Xacti. The last mix I did for Tafubar was a breakbeat-hybrid, and I was reminded of the fun to be had with breakneck BPM’s. Came back from the lake in the afternoon and wrote the music for “Casting Off”, and jumped to editing it – fun to do a track and video from scratch in one day ;^)

As with “Light of a Firefly” the track is made available under a Creative Commons Noncommercial 3.0 Unported License.
This time around, I’m making the music available as a 256kpbs mp3 (zipped) for use in other videos. Grab it from http://moshang.net/audio/CASTING_OFF.zip.

There’s a higher quality 640/480 WMV (28MB zipped) of this video available at: http://moshang.net/video/Casting_Off_WMV.zip

Happy Year of the Rat! Being a rat myself, I’m kinda hoping this will be a good year :^)

I’ve just returned from a short trip to the east coast of Taiwan – I’ve been meaning to go there for the last five years, but somehow never got ’round to it. So happy I finally have. It’s as beautiful as I’ve been told – some parts really reminded me of the Cape, my home in South Africa.

I’ve uploaded a new YouTube video with some ocean scenes captured in Hualien. The track is called The Light of a Firefly and is a lot more orchestral than the stuff I’ve been doing lately. Hope you enjoy it.

I’m featured today in the Vinyl Word column of Taipei Times, one of the largest English language newspapers in Taiwan. Thanks a lot to Tom Leeming of Vinyl Word for the interview and article.

Just want to point out that my performance with Kou Chou Ching at their album launch of “Kou!! It’s Coming Out!!!” will be this coming Wednesday (Jan. 16th) at Underworld in Taipei, not tomorrow. I’ll be doing some tracks with Chang Jui-chuan as well – good practice for the CC Asia Megamix show on the 19th ;^)

I was a guest today on this SLCN talk-show earlier today. The show is online now and you can view it here.

Thanks a lot to Isolde Flamand of Second Arts for the photo – she’s got more shots on her blog.
