Aaken has been commissioned to write four tracks for an upcoming exhibition about the Caves of Faith in DunHuang, China. The songs will be published on CD and one music video directed by Jay Chern will be shot for the occasion this summer.
The exhibition will open on 22 November, 2015 in Shanghai.
The music is nearly finished and will features Aaken’s long time musical partners: Emily Chang (cello), Gan Guo and Allen Yeh (erhu), as well as Allen Wu (percussion), Ryan Zen (bamboo flute), Edric Chang (violin) and Hiroki Matsumoto (taigu drums) among others.
The lyrics will be written by Yao Chien, one of the most celebrated lyricists in Chinese language popular music.
