They are the newest featured Cinema Session by YuChen Studio:

[fyeahcindie]

蔡昀熹 Xico ft. Myller 葉米楽  

Lyrics: XICO / Moonrize 夢離子. Music: XICO / Myller

Arranger/Producer: XICO. Recording Engineer: Troy Lin 林昀駿 (ex-微光群島 Shimmering Islands/Sugar Plum Ferry)

Mixing by 黃文萱 Ziya Huang. Mastered by Mike Marsh @ The Exchange Mastering Studio

The Neon City MV came out in late April, and the reason I picked up on it is because YuChen Studio posted their newest ‘Cinema Session’ clip today, with a less electronic arrangement played by Xico (Voc/Piano), Myller (Vocal), Dizparity (Synth), 劉哲麟 Chelin ‘Dawei’ Liu (Guitar) (Little Shy on Allen Street 擊沈女孩 DESTROYERS), and 許沐恩 Samuel Hsu (Drums).  A lovely marriage of electro & ‘real’ instruments, recorded during a March 31st session:

Full a/v credits for both videos back at YT.  

I mention the mixing engineer 黃文萱 Ziya Huang on Neon City because he posted about another recent project he worked on, a song by 余佩真JenJen. It’s pretty darn cool, so let’s have a listen! (p.s. this MV is slightly disturbing, I’m not sure if the plot has anything to do with the lyrics?)

大象體操 Elephant Gym at Studio Yuchen!  Wasn’t expecting to see this so soon - I think it was shot just before they came to the US - but what a nice surprise!  =D

Uploaded to the 大象體操Elephant Gym YT, not the YuChen Studio channel. I think maybe the band wanted to get it out quickly before the upcoming TW/HK tour dates. Full A?V credits at the end of the clip, or back at YT.

大象體操 Elephant Gym【水底】

世界巡迴 高雄Kaohsiung  4/26（五）、27（六） 

香港Hong Kong 5/17（五） 

台北Taipei           6/21（五）、22（22日演出已完售）

UPDATE: The video is now also posted to the YuChen Studio channel HERE.

“YuChen invited the super talented Elephant Gym in for another episode of our live sessions. This was the first session where we did drum settings in two different rooms. It became clear after a few takes of this song "Half" that the piano was too important a part to use a midi piano. So after we recorded the other song that used guitar we decided to quickly move the drums into our smaller room and isolate them from the piano. There is no substitute for real, and these 3 are the real deal! Please help to share if you enjoy!”

Just saw this promo on the Taiwan Beats Twitter: another TW band adding dates around the US when they come over for sxsw2020!  =D

Let’s go back to 椅子樂團 The Chairs visit to 玉成戲院錄音室 YuChen Cinema Studio for a ‘Cinema Session’. 

From Andy Baker’s comment at YT: “When we were planning The Chairs live session, we all agreed to try something different. The idea to use the Leslie cabinet (Rotating speaker) on the vocal for one of the songs came up, and so that is what we did. We had a blast making music on this day, and when we finished spent a few more hours hanging out sharing music that has inspired us. Another day I won’t forget. Thank you The Chairs coming in for live session! And please share the video if you like!”

裘詠靖YunJin Chiu-voc/gtr, 孫伯元 Benson Sun-bass/gtr, 陳仲穎 Zhong-Ying Chen-voc/gtr.  They have their producer Eazie Huang 黃榮毅 on keys as well as 潘維瀚 Pan Wei Han on drums.  (Pan is in Urban Cat and Pink Noise, and he also plays live with Vast & Hazy)

Read much more about The Chairs in this interview over at Taiwan Beats. Conducted at the time of the Cinema Sessions performance, and translated to English by Wang Hsin-Chuan.

A soothing way to end September and prepare for fall: Cicada（Taiwan）at 玉成戲院錄音室 YuChen Cinema Studio!   =D

江致潔 Jesy Chiang-piano, Yang Tao 楊桃 (楊庭禎 Yang Ting Chen)-cello, 謝維倫 Hsieh Wei Lun-guitar, Andy He (Hsu Kang Kai)-violin.  A couple of these names are different in the listing on the video (@4:19) so I’ll include both.

Message in the info section at YouTube:

Cicada! The last of 12 bands to perform on Cinema Sessions. First with no vocal, drums or electric guitar. A refreshing finale to a year long project. We had a listen to their music backwards and thought it also sounded beautiful and decided to make it our intro music. Hope you enjoy, and remember Sharing is Caring! (Although Cicada was the last band to record but Cinema Session is not over yet! Prepare for the next artist to come!)  

Cicada是CINEMA SESSIONS這季總共12組名單的最後一組 也是第一組沒有人聲主唱、爵士鼓和電吉他的編制 對這次長達一年的計畫，是個耳目一新的結局 聽了他們的錄音倒放之後，我們覺得意外的美 因此決定將它作為片頭配樂 希望你們希望，別忘了分享是美德！ （雖然Cicada是最後一組錄製，但並非最後一組播出，請一起期待下一組到來！）

13月終了 Undecimber Fin.

So impressive to see them play this complicated material live!  =D

The video is expertly directed/edited by Alulu Kuo and her team, so we see all of the musicians at the right times during the song, I really appreciate that attention to visual/musical detail!  

This ‘Cinema Session’ was from the end of May, and the band are playing a SOLD OUT concert there tonight!  [玉成戲院錄音室 YuChen Cinema Studio]

By the way, that’s a new fb page for the studio, they changed the spelling from YuCheng to YuChen. (now spelled the same as on the YouTube channel:  YuChen Studio) UPDATE: Here’s a photo before the show, some globe lights on the floor for mood enhancement: 

When Triple Deer played there in December, 2017, they used lighting tubes for a nice effect:
