'Him, Her, It, and Three'
About Us, Music, Life and More...
Jazz, Japanese rock, Taiwanese folk songs and other ethnic styles of music have already been subtly integrated into every corner of everyday life in Taiwan, with these diverse musical genres merging together to form something new. In the Taiwanese musical context, it is inevitable that works in the traditional Chinese realm diverge from their original setting.
3PEOPLEMUSIC has invited multilingual contributors in the field of music creation to share their perspectives on jazz, South Indian and Japanese rock and Taiwanese folk songs with us, and discuss the relationship between 3PEOPLEMUSIC and each of these “others”.
ABOUT
Taiwanese Unconventional Classical Trio
3PEOPLEMUSIC, a creative trio of three traditional Chinese instrument musicians – guzheng artist KUO Jing-mu, zhongruan player PAN I-tung, and dizi/xiao performer JEN Chung – is a unique chamber music ensemble that combines expertise in the classical Chinese music with contemporary perspectives.
Since its founding in 2013, 3PEOPLEMUSIC has been striving for a brighter future for the development of traditional Chinese music instruments in Taiwan’s current music scene, focusing on areas including the performance type, the composing style and the group’s own image and branding.
With their outstanding performing skills, richly diverse and refined notes, and a repertoire encompassing a variety of styles and genres, the trio freely roams from improvisation to cross-genre performances, and from contemporary works to world music. Their performances transcend the gaps of generations and the barriers of borders in its demonstration of the bountiful versatility of traditional music and instruments.
