Primary Voice

Primary Voice is a series of exotic, emotional, nature music for traditional Chinese and electronic instruments. It is an exploration of combining traditional oriental concepts with modern compositional methods.  The ethnic melodies are full of oriental mystery and
deep emotions of mankind.  The electronic sound and occasional vocals enhance the tone color and imprint with primitive rites, tales, and legends. The music describes unadorned beauty and expresses human's instinctive desire.  Primary Voice was underwritten by the American Composers Forum with funds provided by the Jerome Foundation.  It is performed by members of Melody of China (melodyofchina.com).

 Away From Xuan

       BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra

Conducted by Tan Dun

While the world, the people and the society are becoming more and more Xuan, which means mystery, abstract, profundity in Chinese, the composer finds his own path toward reality, innocence and nature. The melodic and rhythmic material in this music is based on some folk tunes found throughout Xinjiang, China.

When the sunset is fading beyond the hill,

a lonely bird is looking for its nest.

It has flown far away to seek a new world,

but has lost its way home.....
