Biographic sketch

Lin Sheng Xiang graduated from Tainan No. 2 High School and Tamkang University. During his college years, he founded the Kuan Tsu Music Pit (Mandarin: 觀かん子こ音樂おんがく坑あな) and served as guitarist and vocalist. After returning to Meinong, Kuan Tsu Music Pit reformed into "Labor Exchange Band" (Mandarin: 交工樂隊がくたい), playing guitar, Yueqin, sanxian, and vocals, and after Labor Exchange Band disbanded, Sheng Xiang and Wajao Pit 3 (Mandarin: 生なま祥さち與あずか瓦かわら窯かま坑あな3) formed for the release of the album "Getting Dark" (Mandarin: 臨暗), playing guitar and vocals. After that, he played guitar, Yueqin and vocals for "Sheng Xiang & Band" (Mandarin: 生なま祥さち樂隊がくたい) with an indefinite number of members.

After Labor Exchange Band disbanded in 2003, Lin Sheng Xiang continued to collaborate with Chung Yung Feng (Mandarin: 鍾永豐ゆたか) on lyrics, and since the album "Planting Trees" (Mandarin: 種たね樹じゅ), he has been working with Japanese guitarist Ken Ohtake (Mandarin: 大竹おおたけ研けん) on his music. Bassist Toru Hayakawa (Mandarin: 早川はやかわ徹とおる) joined the band in the spring of 2010 on Ken Ohtake's recommendation, and they have been working together since the album "The Land Is My Study" (Mandarin: 大地だいち書房しょぼう), and in the summer of 2011, percussionist Alex Wu (Mandarin: 吳ご政まさし君くん) joined the band before they went to Japan to perform at the Fuji Rock Festival, and in July 2012, the band changed its name because their friends made a stroke of their name and thought that it would be good luck for the band to be named "Sheng Xiang & Band" (Mandarin: 生なま祥さち樂隊がくたい). In 2012, the band commissioned luthier Liu Zhi-Wei to make a six-stringed Yueqin, Kanaji Kawabaka (Mandarin: 川畑かわはた完かん之これ) to make an electric moon organ, and customized a unique moon organ.

In 2015, he recorded the anti-air pollution concept double album "Village Besieged" (Mandarin: 圍かこえ庄しょう), including the second part "Village Besieged" and the third part "Moving On" (Mandarin: 動どう身み) of the "I-Village Trilogy" (Mandarin: 我わが庄しょう), with musicians Ken Ohtake, Toru Hayakawa, Noriaki Fukushima (Mandarin: 福島ふくしま紀明のりあき), Alex Wu and Huang Po Yu (Mandarin: 黃き博はく裕ひろし).[1] The "Village Besieged" concept double album sought to raise funds on online platforms in 2016 as it did not receive record label investment.[2] The Village Besieged double album was released on May 21, 2016, and has been on campus tour since of October 2016, eventually winning the Golden Melody Award Jury Prize.[3]

In 2017 Lin Sheng Xiang and Wang Zhao-hua (Mandarin: 王おう昭あきら華はな) collaborated to produce the movie soundtrack of "The Great Buddha+" (Mandarin: 大佛だいぶつ普ひろし拉ひしげ斯), which won the Golden Horse Award for Best Original Film Song and the Golden Melody Award for Best Single Producer.

Civic engagement

[edit]

On August 14, 2013, Lin Sheng Xiang, director Ko I-Chen (Mandarin: 柯一正かずまさ), writer Neil Peng(Mandarin: 馮光遠とお), environmental lawyer Robin Winkler, writer Nan Fang Shuo, and retired professor emeritus of National Tsing Hua University Ming-Fui-Pang (Mandarin: 彭明輝てる) launched the "Constitution 133 Practice Alliance" to promote the recall of legislators who are "following Ma and violating public opinion, to show that democracy is not only about elections held once every four years, and recall is not only an empty word written in Article 17 and Article 133 of the Constitution. The Alliance issued a "Statement on Citizen's Recall Campaign",[10] but because the threshold for recalling the president is too high, it will mobilize to recall Ma's legislators from each constituency.[11][12][13][14]

Anecdotes

[edit]
  • In 2007, Lin Shengxiang was awarded the Best Hakka Album and Singer at the Golden Melody Awards.In 2007, Lin Sheng Xiang won the Golden Melody Awards for Best Hakka Album and Singer. However, he refused to accept the two awards based on language, arguing that music awards should be categorized by genre, not by language.[15][16] This was the first time since the Golden Melody Awards that someone refused to accept the awards, and caused a public debate. The prize money was donated to a Meinong voluntary tree planting team, Meinong's community newspaper, an organic farming magazine, and Yang Rumen (Mandarin: 楊儒門もん),[17] a rice bomber who advocates for domestic agriculture in Taiwan[28] After 2010, Lin Sheng Xiang no longer applied for the language category of the Golden Melody Awards, and in 2017, the Golden Melody Awards set up a language-neutral Album of the Year award in an attempt to transcend the language barrier.
