In his role as composer, Liang uses the lyrics authored by the show's writers, Andrew D. Dudley '00 and Nicholas P. Grandy '00.
"[Liang] is very, very competent," Dudley said. "He does things with lyrics and automatically hears things in the words that we never would have thought of."
"He is an exceptional musician," Grandy agreed, noting Liang's ability to "improvise and compose music on spot."
"When we are sitting with him and ask him to change a chord, to make it slower, faster, happier or sadder, he can arrange what he is doing really quickly," Grandy said.
Even in the short time Liang has been working with Dudley and Grandy, he has influenced change in the lyrics.
"There are certain songs where [Liang] will think of bits of Egyptian or British songs I would not have thought of, which enhance the show and make it that much funnier," Dudley said.
"It's a huge brainstorming session," Liang said. "We see what's best for the show and have to compromise to achieve the product that's best for the Pudding."
