Tôn-Thất An is currently composing and arranging music for 歌詞 Ray Kang‘s debut album 平行的相依 Parallel.
The album is produced by Sam Liao, who previously collaborated with Tôn-Thất An on his award winning album Forgotten West.
Ray Kang is a Taiwanese theatre actor, stand-up comedian and director, who also writes lyrical and politically charged songs about his country.
The musical concept is to turn Ray Kang’s folk-pop melodies into songs arranged for an acoustic ensemble: strings, guitars, piano and percussion, with the addition of bandoneon, accordion, harp and a vocal group on a few songs.
Playing on the album are Tôn-Thất An’s faithful musical companions, Emily Chang (cello), Edric Chang (violin), Allen Wu (percussion), with Achino (accordion, bandoneon) and Kao Chen Pang (guitars).

平行的相依 Parallel is set for a digital release end of December, and a hard copy release beginning of 2020.
