已在歐美發行十多張專輯的The Shanghai Restoration Project (上海復興方案) 常被描述為一個擅長將高能量的當代節奏感與根植于現代中國城市文化的含蓄曲調相融合的電子樂團。與其第二代美國華裔移民的個人音樂成長經歷暗合，樂團創始人Dave Liang (梁文偉) 純然自敘般地將中國樂器與曲調的感性注入西方爵士、流行和嘻哈的音色之中。繼2014年5月首次中國巡演大獲成功，Dave Liang與說唱樂手Jamahl Richardson將于2015年4月重返中國，并攜爵士歌手張樂一起為觀眾帶來上海復興方案的熱門曲目、新專輯《The Classics》、以及數首尚未發行的全新原創歌曲?，F場演出將以動畫影像配合電子音樂、說唱、爵士演唱與即興，展現時空疊置、多元文化交織的成熟樂風。 Dave Liang在美國堪薩斯州羅倫斯市出生，紐約北部長大，自幼學習古典和爵士鋼琴，高中時期開始創作音樂。在哈佛大學主修應用數學與經濟學之余，Dave為學校的多個演出團體創作音樂并到世界各地巡演。此后，他曾與壞小子唱片公司(Bad Boy)、華納音樂、雅馬哈音樂和環球唱片公司多次合作，并于2005年成立獨立音樂廠牌Undercover Culture Music、2006年創立上海復興方案電子樂團，作品曾打入世界多個電子音樂排行榜首位。此外，他還曾為美國R&B歌手Carl Thomas、民謠歌手Abigail Washburn、爵士歌手Emi Meyer、日本電子流行歌手坂本美雨、賴近恵子等多個國家風格各異的藝術家制作音樂，以東西融合、觸類旁通的個人風格在樂壇闖出天地。 布魯克林說唱樂手Jamahl Richardson于2008年與上海復興方案合作錄制單曲《Touchdown》，并于2009年起成為上海復興方案現場演出的固定搭檔，曾一起在紐約、費城、波士頓、洛杉磯、底特律、多倫多、東京、雅加達和中國九個城市進行演出。Jamahl在加州奧克蘭長大，十歲開始創作音樂，十五歲開始說唱表演，音樂風格受A Tribe Called Quest、Mos Def、De La Soul等說唱樂團以及Jimi Hendrix的影響。生活的艱辛和回報以及旅途中的感悟是他歌詞的靈感來源。作為一位獨立藝術家，他是集作曲、說唱、音樂制作、影視配樂和MV攝制等才能于一身的創作多面手。 張樂畢業于美國新英格蘭音樂學院爵士表演系，師承Ran Blake、Dominique Eade和John McNeil等美國當代爵士/現代音樂大師，并于2010年獲得紐約城市大學Aaron Copland音樂學院爵士表演專業碩士學位和年度Sir Roland Hanna爵士樂獎學金。2006年張樂與著名作曲家譚盾合作錄制作品《禪宗少林》，受到業界樂評人的高度評價。張樂常年在紐約、華盛頓、波士頓演出和教學，于2010年開始加入上海復興方案的現場演出。2014年合作錄制的上海爵士經典新編專輯《The Classics》獲得美國國家公共廣播電臺(NPR)專題報道，并打入iTunes在美國、日本、印尼、新加坡、馬來西亞的電子音樂排行榜前十名。 The Shanghai Restoration Project is often described as a group that creates high-energy electronic beats rooted in modern day Chinese culture. Mirroring his personal development as a musician, Chinese-American producer and founder Dave Liang thrives at introducing Chinese instruments and sensibilities into Western sounds—from classical to jazz to pop to hip-hop. Following the success of their 2014 China tour, producer Dave Liang and Jamahl Richardson return to China in 2015 with the talented jazz singer Zhang Le. In addition to their most popular tunes, they’ll be performing songs from their latest release The Classics as well as several unreleased original songs. Live performances synchronize their signature blend of electronica, rap, improvisation, and jazz vocals with animated projections, creating a multilayered experience that transcends space, time, and cultural boundaries. Dave Liang (keyboard, vocals) is the Emmy winning creator and producer of The Shanghai Restoration Project. His projects have been featured on NPR, BBC, The New York Times, and Last Call with Carson Daly. He has performed at the Sundance Film Festival, MASS MoCA, and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival. In addition to his production work for artists on his own label Undercover Culture Music, Liang has also worked with artists on Bad Boy, Warner, and Universal. He lives in Brooklyn, NY. Jamahl Richardson (electronics, keyboards, MC) performs with The Shanghai Restoration Project during live shows. Independently, he is an accomplished composer and producer whose music has been licensed to ESPN, NBC, UNICEF, and Bravo. In 2011, he wrote and produced the music for the documentary “Third and Long,” which aired on CBS and The NFL Network. In addition to his musical projects, Richardson is also a professional photographer and videographer who has directed and shot videos on multiple continents. His videos have aired on both MTV and VH1. He lives in Brooklyn, NY. Zhang Le (vocals) has been described by by Oscar-winning composer Tan Dun (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) as "a rising young star with a remarkable gift."
