#李承宇 Angus Lee

[fyeahcindie]

2 different versions of the same song, this one from a recent gig, and the other (down below) from a Sofar Taipei event in Oct., 2017.

Vocal: 葉穎 Leaf Yeh Handpan: 李承宇 Angus Lee Cello: 吳登凱 Wu Deng Kai aka YoYo Sitar: 吳欣澤 (Uz Azer)

I think this was originally a song by Angus Lee, and Leaf added a melody. (description back at YT^)

Here we have Angus and Leaf playing a more subdued arrangement in 2017:

Yu Shan Hsieh YT channel has a few more clips from this performance, featuring drums and more tuned percussion. Cool stuff!  =D

Something peaceful for your Sunday...

Leaf Yeh 葉穎 with Handpan musician 李承宇 Angus Lee.  I can’t recall ever seeing someone play 3 at once, he’s got a full range of notes for playing fast runs and melodies.   =D

Harmonic is the last track on her 2019 album 生滅 Birth & Death.  Leaf has a lovely new 2-song ep, released last month. No MVs yet, but you can hear it at Spotify.  She did a 5-song fb stream a couple of weeks ago, and at least one of the ep songs was in the setlist.

Gorgeous sounds coming from 葉穎 Leaf Yeh and a ‘world music’ ensemble:

手碟 Hang (Handpan): 李承宇 Angus Lee Sitar: 吳欣澤 (Uz Azer)  澳洲木管: 林慶洲 （Brian Lin） Percussion: 廖文森 Vincent Liao Tabla: 謝雨珊 Synth/Vocal/Flute: Leaf   (I didn’t know Leaf played flute!)

捲者_放映研究室juanzhe.OrganicLive YT channel has some lovely performance videos, including The Fur. and Sorry Youth.   =)

The ensemble listed above played on Leaf’s June, 2019 生滅 Birth & Death album, along with Chieh Huang 黃婕-accordion, Hang Liu 劉涵-cello, and 裘詠靖-acoustic guitar.  (Not ever musician played on every song, but those are the names I saw in the credits)

The full album has been generously posted to Leaf’s YT channel, and it is a wonderful listen, these arrangements are so tasteful, and Leaf is absolutely ethereal:
