Mr Fantastical Inner-Dimensional Solo Collaborative CD

78(Huang Yi-Chin)¡BSu¡BKeith and Selena .

You call yourself as "open electronic operation platform", rather than a "band". What does that mean exactly?We think our group is very different from a traditional ¡*band¡¨. In tradition ,a ¡*band¡¨ has a vocal, one or two guitar player , bassist and drummer. Every one has he¡¦s fixed position in the band. 78bpm don¡¦t. For example , in the new songs we¡¦re working , Su(guitar) host the drum machin ,and Mr.

78 play the guitar. The other reason for "open electronic operation platform" means anything could happen here . Inclouding fire dancers, traditional instrument master , contempotary painter¡K¡K.

Your debut album is called "Red moon". Are the tracks so cold and stark we could imagine it from the moody album cover?NO ,they are not cold .

They are dark ,but no cold. Our darkness is kind of warm feeling .

It means everyone do have his darkside. That¡¦s ok .

We admit that. We enjoy it. Sometime we feel the too-bright and happy-sweet stuff is so fake , like a lie. There is very subtle use of traditional taiwanese instruments on the album, giving a great spice to the music. It was a determined idea to put in this ethnic feel, or it came naturally in the process of composing?We want something very fresh and easy to identify itself . We¡¦re in Taiwan . Eastern culture is softer and deeper than modern western culture .

So does these traditional instruments .

We find out some traditional instruments are perfect mach with dowentempo music. But we don¡¦t want it everywhere.
