Traditional Taiwanese, Chinese and neighbouring Asian music forms are fused in new original song compositions. Instruments such as the Chinese erhu, the zhong ruan, an assortment of western instruments, and the transcendent vocals and dance of lead singer Mia Hsieh, transport listeners on a journey that Global Rhythm magazine describes as “delicately balanced between many worlds – an entryway to Eastern music and artful expression of the human condition”.
A Moving Sound has attracted international attention for opening doors to the under explored territory that is Pan-Asian music. The group is intensely passionate about how it presents the use of traditional instruments in its contemporary sound. Their approach is to be holistic – combining art, spirituality, social awareness, and a universal love of humanity play key roles in the creative process.
“One of the few groups offering truly creative music from Asia” Marco Werman, BBC Public Radio International
“Mia Hsieh is a great, young woman singer putting a new spin on old traditions with her group A Moving Sound” Lucy Duran, BBC Radio 3
“One of the most original outfits working in the world music arena today” Tom Pryor, National Geographic World Music
