TAIPEI, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

11 Artists & Bands Performed at SHOWCASE to Large Audiences

The series of Golden Melody Festival events executed by Taiwan Television

Enterprise officially closed on June 26th. This year, exhibitions were curated

around two themes: Music X Drama and Music X Games. Golden Melody Festival

events included international conferences, workshops, business matchmaking

events, a GMA SHOWCASE Concert, and a biz-matching program. The events

attracted people across the music, film, and gaming industry. International

speakers attended many of the events through video conferencing, sharing with

their peers in Taiwan, their practical experiences abroad and the industry

landscape. OST Yeram LIM of South Korea's CJ ENM, CEO Mark Frieser of U.S.'s

Sync Summit, and Chairman Gary Calamar of GO Music shared their experiences

creating film scores. Garry Schyman, an award-winning American composer,

dissected the background of gaming music and gave students of the master

workshop a professional critique of their work. Alongside many top

professionals in Taiwan's film and gaming industry, Garry Schyman also explored

his experiences and challenges when creating music and integrating scores with

the film. Their discussions were invaluable to participants. A total of 259

businesses attended the 2022 GMA.

The GMA SHOWCASE Concert, highly anticipated by music fans, was a three-day

festivity. Mixer, recipient of the Best Band Award at the 25th GMA, kicked off

the first day with an invigorating performance. Lead singer Wu Shenghao shared

that they were "incredibly honored to return to Kaohsiung for the Golden Melody

Festival and happy that the world gets to see a little bit more of Kaohsiung."

In 2022, Mixer also welcomed their tenth anniversary with a surprise

announcement: a new album and concert in the works. ?te, known for her lazy

drawl, revealed that she's still looking forward to her first performance at a

music festival abroad, shouting on stage to "Give me a change!" Cosmospeople,

having been out of the stage lights for a while, was especially excited about

their performance at the GMA SHOWCASE Concert and announced that they will be

holding a concert at the end of the year, also in Kaohsiung. On the second day,

the duo JADE delivered seven songs in their stunning on-stage performance and

expressed their gratitude to music festivals in Taiwan: "The current landscape

of Taiwanese bands was nurtured by the many outstanding music festivals of

Taiwan." Indigenous singer Sauljaljui opened her performance with a nose flute

solo and invited the audience to sing with her in her native tongue. Sauljaljui

unleashed her musical prowess and used four different instruments during her

performance. She closed her performance with "Singing for Each Other," a

lighthearted but moving song. Last on was Best Band nominee - Flesh Juicer.

When asked about their nomination, all five of the members said that were "very

happy." Flesh Juicer closed the second day with an infectious performance

filled with captivating videos and stunning lights.

OVDS opened the third day with an enlivening performance and expressed that

"the GMA has fostered the music industry in Taiwan for a very long time and

continued to propel musicians forward. It is a very valuable award. Last year's

GMA nomination prompted us to reassess why we first became musicians." Last but

not least, Sweet John from Tainan closed the show with their natural vocals.

The band expressed an interest in performing in Japan and shared their

disappointment with their delayed concert in Australia. Lastly, they expressed

their wishes to meet their fans as soon as possible. In addition to musicians

and bands from Taiwan, the GMA also invited Saji from Hokkaido, Japan, Bonander

from Sweden, and Paolo Sandejas from the Philippines to perform online for the

Golden Melody Festival audience. The three musicians were recommended by global

strategic alliance partners and delivered incredible performances.
