Li Chin-sung (aka Dickson Dee) is one of the driving forces of the chinese new music scene in the past ten years. He has helped releasing and distributing the works by musicians from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan under his own label Sound Factory (now Noise Asia). As a curator of live concerts, he has brought numerous experimental artists to perform in China, among them John Zorn, HAINO Keiji, OTOMO Yoshihide, Sachiko M, Zbigniew Karkowski, etc. In 1995, Li's album "Past" was released on Zorn's label Tzadik, seven years later he released his second album Sunday under his own label Noise Asia. The album is the first of an on-going 7-CDs project, with each CD given the name of each day of the week (the tracks will be titled simply by their time frames). In July, 2004, "Sunday" was awarded the "New Music Award" by Chinese Music Media Awards. Li is now working on the soundtrack for the dance program "Lin Chi" by Guangdong Modern Dance Company, which will premier at the end of May. The 40-mins program draws its inspiration from the Chinese way of calligraphy, and was composed of solo, duo, trio and group dances.
