A dynamic fusion of Chinese and electric violins and electronics Chi2 perform their inimitable Eastern-tinged contemporary electro-acoustic style to stunning effect. Recently described as double violin assault specialists" Chi2 are Chinese British-born violinists/composers Liz Chi Yen & Sarah Chi Shang Liew. They have toured with Moby and played with the likes of Nelly Furtado and Goldfrapp.
Drawing on inspiration from their recent tours of South-East Asia, their love of Chinese cinema and their genepool, Chi2 dish up a charismatic blend of ‘East meets West’ rhythms and melodies. Their music is a melting pot of style and influences and improvisations with a plethora of weird noises and the odd sprinkling of live effects, coupled with keyboard wizardry and angelic vocals. Their music is harsh and pulsating one minute and lyrical and beautiful the next, interspersed with textural fragments and snippets of musical conversation, as they communicate in their sisterly language. Combined with specially commissioned visuals, they present a visual and aural feast when they perform live.
With their solid technical grounding and improvisational abilities they have become a much in-demand session duo, and they have toured with Moby ('18' and 'Play' world tours), pop sensation Anastacia (Europe/ UK), electronic duo Lamb (Europe/UK) and have played / recorded with diverse artists such as Boy George, The Orb / KLF project, Nelly Furtado, Goldfrapp, Lamb, Barry Adamson, Uriah Heep to name a few.
