From a first-person research method, using the perspective of Singaporean experimental Chinese music group SA, this paper discusses the questions of motivation for incorporating technology with ethnic Chinese music instruments from a socio-cultural perspective; how this incorporation of technology is performed and has affected the perception of sound performance for the musicians; what were the initial challenges and how the challenges were overcome.
