the more i delve into the project, the more i find it tough. it certainly cannot be achieved in a short time, that's why i am not putting a timeframe to it.

the good news is roger wang has agreed to work with us! he is excited by our concept and he sees the potential of this genre doing well. however, i won't use roger for all the tracks; i want variety; i want sparks flying.... they are many guitarists with supreme skills. jamie wilson is one i would consider too.

i also need to think of the album concept - it has to have commercial appeal, yet not gimmicky to frighten off genuine music lovers. for sure, i will steer clear of teresa teng or cai qin kind of stuff. i want modern chinese pop songs, sung by modern-sounding singers. most importantly, i want crossover appeal, meaning chinese music lovers can appreciate it, as well as audiophiles, even the english-educated ones.

i haven't thought a name for my music label yet. ultimately, this is not an one-off project. we wish to do many albums.

you wouldn't believe this? many of my audiophile friends are expressing interest to invest in my project!

they certainly believe in me :-)
