TITLE: Two Moons

MV
Her music can be heard in Disney’s Mulan and Dreamwork’s Kung Fu Panda, she has collaborated with global icons such as Cristina Aguilera, appeared in a Super Bowl commercial with Will Smith, and performed as a soloist with the Pacific Symphony orchestra, and now Bei Bei joins forces with London-based composer and producer Paul Elliott on Two Moons, a transcendent new album that dissolves the boundaries between past and future, East and West, tradition and innovation.
At once intimate and expansive, Two Moons is a cinematic ambient-fusion work rooted in the 2,500-year-old lineage of Chinese string instruments while embracing contemporary electronic sound design. Across seven immersive compositions, the luminous voices of the guzheng and guqin intertwine with atmospheric synthesis, analog textures, and modern rhythmic undercurrent—creating a sound world that feels ancient, modern, and timeless all at once.
Based in Los Angeles, Bei Bei brings her signature artistry—renowned for its emotional depth, technical mastery, and cross-cultural fluency—into dialogue with Paul Elliott’s meticulously sculpted electronic compositions. Rather than leaning toward the polished sheen of mainstream electronic production, Two Moons embraces a warmer, more tactile sonic language: rounded edges, tape saturation, analog dustiness, and a distinctly human feel. The result is a form of retro-futurism—nostalgic yet forward-looking—that stands apart from contemporary high-gloss, hi-fi electronic music.
Awards
Two Moons received the Silver Medal for World Fusion Album at the Global Music Awards on October 17, 2025.

Showreel
Album Review
Bei Bei’s “Two Moons” illuminates lunar elegance with modern depth – Earmilk
This completely stands as a rare fusion of past and present done with humility and vision. It’s not just a celebration of heritage or innovation, but proof that when treated with care, both can coexist beautifully. Without a doubt it’ll be one of the more unique records you’ve heard in a while… – WeWriteAboutMusic
Thoroughly successful in its bridging of classical elements with modern electronic savvy, Two Moons is a lovely listening experience from Bei Bei. – ObsureSound
The Silver Medal at the Global Music Awards was, if anything, modest recognition. *Two Moons* is one of the more quietly essential records of recent vintage — the kind of album that takes several listens to fully reveal itself, and repays that patience handsomely. – IndieDockMusicBlogUK
Two Moons: A calm yet ahead of, the, time fusion of music that allows tradition to be the leading of the future. – ProjectTimbre
