The Shanghai Restoration Project | Electronic Music Meets Asian Chic
East-meets-West doesn't always make for a successful fusion, but when it works, it works. And it really works in producer and songwriter Dave Liang's first complete album, The Shanghai Restoration Project. The album has been burning up the ears of iPod users since its debut, making its way as one of the top albums on both iTunes and MSN Music.
The Kansas-raised Liang--a former producer for artists on major labels Bad Boy and Universal Records--fuses traditional Chinese instruments such as dizi and erhu with modern hip-hop and electronica to create music that he says, "mirrors my upbringing as a Chinese American delicately balancing Eastern and Western influences."
