Hi,
My name is MoShang and I create Downbeat Ambient Electronica always with a Taiwanese/Chinese flavor.
Listen to my music here.
The following is some more about me from a press release...
Although he is slightly embarrassed to admit it, MoShang (aka Jean Marais) started his musical career as a choirboy in his native South Africa in the early 1980's. Around the same time, he received his first computer - a Commodore VIC-20. His passion for music and computers would eventually culminate in the release of his debut solo album Made in Taiwanin 2004. Along the way, MoShang was the front man of Duusman (an Afrikaans language art rock band), played the saxophone for Tsunami (on the Gallo Jazz label), and produced 10 tracks on three award-winning music and poetry albums with the celebrated South African poet Breyten Breytenbach . He was half of the Afrikaans pop-duo 12Hz with Riku Latti (their debut Nou has been described as the most progressive Afrikaans album ever) and he received a South African AVANTI award for his music to the short film Angels in a Cage. MoShang moved to Taiwan in 2002 and is currently performing live as a solo instrumental DJ and with the improvised lounge outfit Into Thin Air.
Made in Taiwan is now available from CDBaby and Apple iTunes.
Thanks, I hope to make a useful contribution to this forum.
