Press:
The long-awaited 5th album was released on 29th/30th June 2024. Nicknamed “the concerto”, MissOM4 has six movements of various sections with contrasting tempi, the appearance of motivic repetition and variation, and solo cadenzas. But it is not a classical album.
MissOM4 features Shueh-li’s undeniable writing, performing and production style, and her penchant for sound design and odd time-signatures in Jazz Fusion, Rock, Prog, Electronic and other exotic pieces.
With guest appearances by the inimitable Dean Parks, bassist Brian Mooney of the Mahavishnu Project, and drummer Jake Siberon and bassist John Tuohy of prog-metal band Mile Marker Zero.
It is rare for me to come across an album which is totally unlike anything else I have ever heard … Due to my ears not being used to either the musical style or the instrument (theremin), I have no idea whatsoever where this music is going to lead and consequently found myself quite enamoured in the way it developed. This is an interesting album which is definitely pushing the progressive boundaries ~ 5 out of 6 stars.

You really have a unique style/signature sound, unconfined and unfettered from 12 tone western music.

Sometimes MissOriented Metaphor rocks, sometimes it’s pastoral and vaguely Eastern, occasionally angular and dissonant, and sometimes it’s coolly synthetic. But it’s never less than fascinating.
