A Moving Sound in New York- 聲動樂團

A Moving Sound was formed in Taipei by Mia Hsieh and Scott Prairie, the group has released three albums in their native Taiwan: Little Universe (2004), Songs Beyond Words (2007) and Starshine (2009), with tracks from the latter two serving as the source for their eponymous Motéma debut. They were featured artists in a special program on Taipei presented by the Lonely Planet television series (broadcast in 50 countries on The Discovery Channel), and have also been profiled in The Huffington Post, Public Radio International's The World, Link TV, Taiwan Public TV, and BBC Radio 3's World Routes.

The music of AMS has been praised by critics and world music advocates around the globe. Tom Pryor, supervisor of National Geographic World Music, described AMS as "one of the most original outfits working in the world music arena today." And Theodore C. Levin, the noted Dartmouth University ethnomusicologist who was the first Executive Director for Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project, describes their work as "really beautiful, and beautifully presented."

Chinese instruments - especially the erhu (two-string vertical fiddle) and zhong ruan (a four-string lute) - give the music of China its distinctive texture. Traditional Chinese music styles serve as an inspiration and as the foundation for several compositions on the CD.
