Lim Giong (; also known as Lin Chiang, born 7 June 1964 in Changhua, Taiwan) is a musician, artist, DJ, composer, songwriter, music producer, music director and also an actor. Now, he is a leading figure on the Taiwanese experimental electronic music scene. His musical career began with the release of his 1st album, "Marching Forward" in 1990. In his early days, he gave rousing performances of folk-pop music in Taiwan (mainly sung in Taiwanese Hokkien) such as "A Soundless Place" from the ''Dust of Angels'' soundtrack. He was associated with the genre known as New Taiwanese Song. Then, from his 3rd album "Entertainment World" recorded in England in 1993, his compositions become increasingly infused with electronic music, evolving even from drum and bass, break beat, ambient and electronica, to more experimental and freestyle work. He introduces Taiwanese notes into pop-rock culture, and weaves complex musical fabrics. In his works, the tradition meets the modernity, which creates the world of his own. He arranges the traditional music with the electronic flavour quite successfully in his 4th album "China Fun" in 2002, and 5th album "Folk Paradise" in 2003. And since he studied acting and appeared in some movies as an actor, stimulated by the world of cinema, he became the favorite composer of Hou Hsiao-Hsien, for whom he wrote the music of Goodbye South, Goodbye and Millennium Mambo. From the experience in the world of cinema, he has his original perspective in the interaction of the sound and the image. He tried to exceed the genre of music in his work, which is developed in the form "Stereo Picture(立體音畫, sometimes translated as "Three Dimensional Sound Picture")" that aims at uniting the sound and the image. His latest album "Insects Awaken" was released in 2005 in Europe on a French label, MK2., and a few months later, also released in Taiwan on a Taiwanese label, EWise Digital Multimedia Corp. This album won the best crossover album of the 17th Golden Melody Awards in 2006. In 2005, the Cannes Film Festival invited him to perform at an outdoor event. There he performed music from "Insects Awaken", with the images which include the elements of the National Palace Museum's collection. He also produces the music for the special 90 seconds commercial film of National Palace Museum that celebrates its 80th anniversary in October 2005. The concept of this film, "OLD IS NEW" coincides with his detached stance. And this special commercial film won the gold of the American Association of Museums' 2006 Muse award. And now he is participating in the activity of the Creative Commons in Taiwan, and undertakes the responsibility of the CC Party. ==Discography== * Marching Forward:向前走 (1990) * Spring Breeze Young Bro.:春風少年兄 (1992) * Entertainment World:娛樂世界 (1993) * Goodbye South, Goodbye (Orig.
