Mongolian folklore expressed through music technology original multimedia soundtrack "On Horseback"

<p>I returned to my hometown and recorded Mongolian folk music&mdash;Mongolian Long Song and Mongolian Throat Singing. I wanted to combine technology and traditional folk music and write an electronic piece based on Mongolian vocal materials. I used what I&rsquo;ve sampled, manipulated the sounds, composed the music, gathered the videos together and created this multimedia piece&mdash;On Horseback. The names of the four movements&mdash;Sand, Cloud, Water, and Fire&mdash;are four elements that I chose to represent the lifestyle in Inner Mongolia. </p><p> This thesis covers the journey of how I created this piece. I&rsquo;ve explored many variations of technology such as sound sampling, mixing, and video editing. I&rsquo;ve also gained the chance to bring traditional Mongolian folk vocal music out of my hometown and present it in my own work. </p>
