Spending long hours ensconced in a recording studio, Fan is currently learning all there is to know about loops, ambient, drum'n'bass as well as various forms of traditional Chinese opera.
According to Fan, the project, although still very much in its initial stages, will be ready some time in October. And while he has not chosen a venue in which to premiere the composition, he is certain that it will attract a larger audience than much of his previous material.
"Obviously the combination of electronica, traditional Chinese instruments and opera means that the work will be a lot less downbeat than many of my scores," he said. "I don't know whether people will want to dance to it, but it is going to be more upbeat and listener friendly than the works I'm best known for."
