Trois Chants Pour Cyber-Nostalgie I, II, III Composed by Jialin Liu Sheng solo with electronics Sheng performed by Li-chin Li This performance by Li-Chin Li (sheng) with electronics is from the concert series Paradise Laboratory presented by CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) at the White Room at CRS on June 25, 2023. PARADISE LABORATORY is a playground for sonic and visual experimentation. Conceived of during the pandemic by the renowned Korean traditional multi-instrumentalist, curator, and scholar gamin, Paradise Laboratory provides musical artists with opportunities to rehearse, record, film, and perform with other musical, visual, and dance artists in an experimental, process-oriented, and artist-centered fashion. ABOUT THE ARTISTS Born in Taichung, Taiwan, Li-Chin Li is a Sheng soloist, composer, and performer. Majored in Chinese Music at the Tainan National University of the Arts, Li-Chin received solid training in traditional music education. After graduation, she worked for the most selective and prestige Orchestra, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra as a Sheng performer. Li-chin soon figured a nine-to-five job doesn’t’ suit her for making her own music and performing. Li-chin is known for her ability to apply Sheng to various art forms and music genres. Through her work, she is committed to exploring musicians’ subjectivity and diversity of roles in the performing arts. In October 2021, Li-Chin took part in a six-month residency program at the esteemed Cité internationale des arts in Paris. Handpicked by the Ministry of Culture, Taiwan, she seized this opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of talented composers and musicians residing in France, culminating with her performance in the concert “Rencontre autour du Sheng à Paris” co-presented by the Italian Cultural Centre and Taiwan Cultiral Centre in Paris at the end of her residency there. The concert garnered praise from the French national radio program, “Journal de la Création,” making a significant impact on the exchange of contemporary music between Taiwan and France, as well as elevating Taiwan’s sheng music to an international stage. Recently, she has been selected as a member of IRCAM concert de l’atelier d’improvisation, ManiFeste-2022, and she has been guested with Ensemble LINEA and Ensemble CAIRN in 2022. Last but not least, she is a grantee of Asian Culture Council in New York 2023. https://lichinli.art/ Jialin LIU / 劉家麟, Chinese composer and sound artist born in 1995.

Since 2019, he entered the Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris (CNSMDP) for his Master study in composition with Frédéric Durieux, electronic music with Yan Maresz, Luis Naon and Grégoire Lorieux, and, since 2020, orchestration supérieur with Guillaume Connesson and Denis Cohen. https://www.jialinliu.com/ ABOUT THE PRESENTER CRS (CENTER FOR REMEMBERING & SHARING) is a spiritual healing and art center founded in 2004 by the writer/lecturer/spiritual counselor Yasuko Kasaki and artist Christopher Pelham.

In his music he manages expectations in the most imaginative ways possible, like a cold war of emotions. The horizon of his realizations extend from solo pieces to orchestral works with and without the use of electronics. He received training in composition in Argentina (UNC), and France (CNSMD Paris, and IRCAM), and was supported by several prestigious foundations from Europe, and Argentina since 2012. His music has been vibrating with renowned international ensembles since his arrival in Europe. Resident composer at Casa de Velázquez, Ibermúsicas, and Cité des Arts, Francisco, today is composer in residence at Couvent des Récollets in Paris. https://www.franciscouberto.com/ ABOUT THE PRESENTER CRS (CENTER FOR REMEMBERING & SHARING) is a spiritual healing and art center founded in 2004 by the writer/lecturer/spiritual counselor Yasuko Kasaki and artist Christopher Pelham.
