Dear Friends,

It’s been a long time since I’ve written to you all but you’ve been on my mind, nevertheless.  I may have seen some of you over the past few months at events but, for the most part, I’ve been undercover and deep in the throes of production.  I’ve received many messages and letters of support and concern during this period (to which I’ve not replied due to lack of time) for which I’m deeply grateful of.  Thank you for your continued love and encouragement.

I’m still working on the new album though much work has been accomplished over the past few months with the help of many great musicians and minds.  There’s still quite a bit to complete though the end is within sight.  What I can reveal is that the album will be delivered to your hands sometime in the New Year and it will be noticeable progression from my previous albums.

I’m very excited at this moment because I have some exciting news to share. Within a few weeks, I will be launching my very first official website.  We are putting the finishing touches on it as I write this.  I am very proud of this site not only because it is a David Tao premiere but also because it will provide a direct channel for us to interact.  There will be many surprises within it and, of course, there will be an abundance of exclusive and exciting new content about the upcoming new album and me.  In the upcoming weeks, you’ll be receiving more information about this website and how to become a member of our new home.  Please stay tuned!

Peace and be strong in what you are doing,

David Tao

亲爱的朋友们，

距离上次写信已经很久了，然而我并没有忘记你们。在过去几个月的活动中，我也许有和你们其中的一些人见面，但是大部分时间我都在暗中承受着创作的痛苦。在这段时间我收到了很多支持我和关心我的信件（虽然因为没有时间我无法回复），真的让我非常感激。谢谢你们一直以来的爱和鼓励。

我仍然在忙着新专辑，尽管有了许多优秀的音乐人和极好的理念的，在过去的几个月的帮忙我已经完成了许多工作。也仍然有很多工作要完成，虽然成果已经可以看得见了。我能够透露的就是这张专辑在新年的某个时候可以交到你们手中，并且和我以往的专辑相比它会有显著的进步。

此刻我有一些好消息要和大家分享。在几个礼拜内，我将要开办起第一个官方网站。在我写这封信的时候我们正在做最后的工作。我很满意的是它是陶喆的一个首次亮相, 而且将会为我们的互动提供一个比较直接的通道。那里会有不少惊喜，它也将会对于我和我将要发行的新专辑有一些独特的令人期待的丰富的内容。在未来的几个礼拜里，你们会收到更多关于这网站的信息以及加入方法。敬请留意！

不管你在做什么，都请努力。

陶喆
