Law Shih Ming, a music enthusiast who graduated in Music Technology in Universiti Putra Malaysia, where he focused very much on music writing, programming (sequencing) and productions.

 

Being a composer and arranger, he has involved in various contemporary music and TV commercial productions. Apart from this, he is also active as a graphic designer, which he mainly deals with music graphics such as concert posters, CD arts, musician's websites, etc.

 

He was also once active as a cellist in a few local orchestras as well as the cellist for Vivace String Quartet in Kuala Lumpur, where they actively performed for many corporate events, weddings, etc.

 

Having dealt with music for years, he decided to further his study and somewhat left behind his music career. Currently, he is pursuing his second degree in Information Engineering in Germany, which he aims to combine his expertise in music technology and the knowledge gained in information engineering to prepare himself for potential new technologies in music and IT industries in the near future.
