#徐研培 Eric Hsu

[fyeahcindie]

Lovely new single from 林宥嘉 Yoga Lin, this starts out with gentle nylon string guitar, and never gets much louder, even after the full band comes in.  =D

The song is called 我不是神，我只是平凡卻直拗愛著你的人 and the English title is Wordless Groans, but the Google translation is something like “I'm not a god, I'm just an ordinary person who always loves you”.

The Yoga Lin single came out last month, but I watched this cover by 許淨淳 XuDo (aka 淳仔)  today:

We have featured her a bunch of times, both covers and original songs.

Here’s a cute cover she posted last month, by the South Korean girl band FIFTY FIFTY (피프티피프티):

「Live in Life」 生活即是現場，用現場錄音讓生命當下的美好發聲。

這首 #現場錄音單曲，不僅僅是承接田馥甄上一張專輯《日常》的精神，更延展了「把握每個當下」的概念，希望透過現場錄音捕捉稍縱即逝的每一刻，記載音樂裡活生生的視聽，分享生命的此時此刻，讓每一天所發生的美好，用音樂發「聲」。

今天 讓美好發聲 愛唱歌的女孩　邊走邊唱 從自己的房間　出發

Perfect song for night time listening -- this is from the debut album 黑房子 Dark House by singer-songwriter 潘寧 NIN (formerly known as 潘寧 Penny). =D

The album came out last month, and was produced by Peggy Hsu 許哲珮. (well, all 3 songs I've heard so far list her as producer).

On this track, Eric Hsu 徐研培 plays guitar, Hang Liu 劉涵 (隱分子 Infancy Band) plays cello, and 奧斯卡 Oscar Wu did the arrangement. The lyrics are Chinese in the verses and English in the chorus.

We featured her 2020 single a few years ago HERE.

Just read on 黃少雍 Huang Shao yong’s fb that he did a lo-fi arrangement for Waa Wei 魏如萱, I think it is part of a larger compilation, but the song and instrumental is listed as a new single on her Spotify.  (The link Shao-yong posted is for YouTube Music, not regular YT, so I couldn’t embed it here)

Shao-yong played bass in Waa’s band for years, and has also done some electronic arrangements for her recent releases.  He is also part of the electronic band 林瑪黛 matelin, and arranger/producer/head of Dark Paradise Records.

His post from earlier today:

娃娃一直說想要做個Lo-fi的所以特地研究了一下華語Lo-fi後唯一的想法是找一個很爛的鼓手來打很歪的beat，所以找了很愛到處秀鼓技的阿雞，結果他很認真的練了果然打的頗歪，錄鼓的時候連門都沒關放一隻mic在客廳收結果幾乎都用那隻，間奏還吹了一個大便小喇叭。不過吉他認真的找eric來錄了3個take，每個take越彈越好最後選彈最不熟的第一個take。還有小提琴找剛野餐完的蘇子茵，全部拉一些效果。最後錄音娃娃說唱得像壞特好了，然後超鬆的做完了。

Happy Birthday, 許哲珮 Peggy Hsu!  =D   (Peggy gets emotional during the chat with the audience, and then the song begins at 3:30)

This is a sweet and intimate live stream from Christmas Eve: Peggy Hsu 許哲珮’s annual Dear Xmas concert being held at home this year, with Eric Hsu 徐研培 on guitar, Billy Fu on bass, and 許郁瑛 Yu Ying Hsu on piano.

They play Peggy songs, covers, and sprinkle in some holiday classics as well.  (tracklist back at YT) Peggy responds to comments and gives greetings; there’s a funny scene at around 49 minutes in when she tries to figure out the *various musicians that have autographed the white bricks on the wall over the years, and she realizes that one of the bricks has her wifi password -- quickly covering it with her hand!  XD

*including: Crispy, Wonfu, Yoga Lin, Paige Su, Fran Chen

Let’s check out a new TW band called Codie   =D

Their fb page just opened up in January, 2020, and they have 2 songs at StreetVoice and 3 at YouTube.  

They don’t list the members, but out of 5 people in the profile pic, I’ve identified Chiao Hsieh-Voc and 趙宇晨 Gary Chao-Gtr, 郭承新-Bass, 游文華-Drums, Horsey Tseng (馬子)-Keys.

UPDATE: Okay, more info about the band. Gary posted that they rehearsed for about a year and finally posted their first song at the beginning of January. He also tagged the members, and I’ve added them above. =D

Gary plays free lance w/ other acts, and I just saw his name in the credits for this cover Eric Hsu 徐研培 posted a few days ago:

Eric-Gtr.  (Eric plays with Peggy Hsu 許哲珮 and ball 莊鵑瑛 - 小球, and has also free-lanced with Lala Hsu, Sandee Chan and others).

Fang Q 方Ｑ aka Carter Fang 方奎棠-bass. (CosmosPeople 宇宙人, ex-Mrs. This 這位太太

趙宇晨 Gary Chao-electronic percussion.

The original is by the Japanese band 髭男dism aka Higedan, and you can see much more info from Eric about how the cover came about back at YT.

New MV from Sandee Chan 陳珊妮!   =D

The song is called 恐怖谷 Uncanny Valley, and in a very strange coincidence, I first heard of that term on the news this morning. 0_0

You can read more about the concept at Wikipedia: Uncanny valley is a hypothesis that human replicas that appear almost, but not exactly, like real human beings elicit feelings of eeriness and revulsion among some observers.

The song is chill & gorgeous (w/ Eric Hsu 徐研培 on guitar and 甯子達 Michael Ning on bass), and the video is suitably creepy with the blending of the faces, and it features many familiar TW singers. Can you identify them all?

Sandee tagged them on fb, including LaLa徐佳瑩, 林嘉欣 Karena Lam, 丁寧 Ding Ning, KT 張凱婷, 繆沁琳, 周筆暢♥ Bibi Zhou, 田馥甄 Hebe

[fyeahcindie]

New from the little ball (莊鵑瑛 - 小球), it’s the title track from her new album, 巴斯特耳朵 Best Ear.  (KKBOX link)   =D

UPDATE: playback has been disabled by UNIVERSAL MUSIC TAIWAN 環球音樂, so watch at YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzHHTomenNc

Very dramatic sound to this song, with music by 廖偉傑 (Jie) (He also produced/arranged the track), and lyrics by ball. 

The MV is equally powerful, directed by 邱柏昶 BirdyNio and starring 饒星星 Cincin Jao.  Birdy did one more MV for the new ball album, and he also worked on recent clips from Vast & Hazy, Waa Wei, Kowen, Paige Su, Crispy, and MANY more going back several years. See the list at his Birdy Production Film site.   You can see Cincin Jao’s various MV, TV and Film credits at wikipedia.

Violin：Riecky Lu 瑞奇 (Nineteentael 十九兩樂團, 愛的養樂多 Yakult Psyche, Smokering 煙圈樂團)
