'I don't want to disturb and I don't want to be disturbed.' Lin Hai is said to be a man of solitude. But from this silence numerous melodies and childlike nature flow out bountifully. Born in 1969, Lin learned to play the piano at age four. 1988 he majored in piano at the China Central Music College, and the next year he became the only and unprecedented Chinese nominee for the 8th Van Cliburn Musical Contest held in the U.S. In 1992 he began giving concerts in Taiwan and China and composed movie scores and TV drama scores. Now one of the most promising and successful Chinese pianists, he focuses on composing jazz and eastern new age music. As critics term it, Lin Hai is a genius whose has 'an easternized right hand and a westernized left hand', and he plays improvisational jazz out of a disciplined classical background. No doubt he is a multi-cultural and Renaissance musician for the new millennium.
