					<description><![CDATA[Hi Kelvin,
In another post you said you saw the show yesterday so I was running both music for both shows. Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes, the musicians play live. We also have tracks that play along with a click so the tempo is exactly the same for the performers each show. On that particular day our violin player was out, and since I was running the show the keyboard two was also out - so these parts played back on tracks. We all record our performances into the main set so we can use playback in case someone is sick.

On the right side musician room (stage left) you would have seen me playing keyboards and running the show on the computer in front, with a vocalist occasionally singing behind me on a wireless microphone. Behind me was the keyboard 2 rig, next to that is the percussion booth and behind the percussion booth is our drummer. So this room has both keyboard players and both percussionists.

On the left side musician room (stage right) there are three players occasionally joined by a roaming vocalist. Player one covers bowed strings, player two covers recorder (and sometimes bowed strings), and player three covers plucked strings, guitar and flutes.

Behind the right musician booth (stage left) is the monitor control room. We each have our own mix we listen to as we play the show. Each instrumentalist has different requirements for the sound levels they need to hear from each instrument.

I do not read Chinese, but I can get a rough translation online. Good luck with Wordpress. I&#039;ve used it for 5 years now and I love it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey Chris,
Yeah, the name &quot;ZAIA&quot; was also chosen because it&#039;s easy for Asians to pronounce. The new Tokyo show is called &quot;ZED&quot; but so far no confusion I know of. However, I have had friends refer to the Zaia show as &quot;GAIA&quot; and also &quot;KAIA&quot; (confusing it with the Cirque show &quot;KA&quot;).

As you can imagine we&#039;re in high gear right now getting the show ready for the soft opening on July 26th. Musicians are in boxes on the second floor facing the audience. I&#039;m in the box on the top right from the audience (stage left) looking straight out. 

Hope you enjoy the show!]]></description>
