Welcome to today's Part II with the three band members of How Many Hippos! Last week, we discussed how each member learned to play their instruments, how they formed the band, and the story behind their unique name. Today's episode focuses on some of their influences that shape their songs, how well their style is accepted in Taiwan, their future marketing plan, and clips of their favorite songs from their latest album, Hippopuzzlemus.

How Many Hippos (幾何碼) is a band founded in 2023 by YuChia Wang (bass), Shan Lin (piano), and FlyingPP (drums). The band aims to blend elements of breakbeats, drum and bass, and other electronic rhythms into the mainstream and jazz music scenes.

Their musical inspiration is drawn from images, seeking to interpret various visual concepts through timbre, rhythm, melody, and more. Geometry is the primary visual theme they explore, which is why the keyword "geometry" is emphasized. They also incorporate a variety of sounds as codes to represent visual images that they analyze and integrate into their arrangements, making "code" another significant term. This merging of concepts is what "Geometric Code (幾何碼)" signifies.

In Chinese, "Geometric Code" also has a playful pun that translates to "How Many Hippos."
