She has trained in music recording and production in London, initially to assist her work as a critic and reviewer but with the foundation of her own label these skills have been key to its high production qualities. All of which encompass Shu-Fangs initial aspirations to provide inspiration and an outlet for inovative artists. Shu-fang s eclectic tastes, empathy with the artists and vast range of cultural knowledge all shine through in the repertoire of the label. Music which lulls and sings, which is new blood, speaking gestures, an unknown perfume, a bird without sleep, music of stained-glass church windows, a whirl of complementary colours . . . While the aim is to combine traditional musical forms with contemporary influences, it represents not so much fusion as a musical exploration of the unique personalities and blends of the various performers.
Every recording is different in emphasis.
Each album has a character of its own and its musical language is distinct in colour and conception from that of its companions in the catalogue. But November Music seeks to provide more than a musical experience. Its broad objective is to integrate the quality of sound with the sense of touch and vision, so that every production has a distinctive feel to it and caters to the eye as well as to the ear. The music is thus enveloped in an art format as striking as the performance. And, where possible, the productions also incorporate elements from film, literature and natural history.
