li chin sung & khoomii sound machine

Eclectic tales from Mongolia feat. Li Chin Sung and the Khoomii Sound Machine is a new music project which includes a full length concert and a CD release. The well-known Chinese noise and avant-gardemost unusual band put together especially for this project. It will present ancient as well as contemporary sounds, soundscapes, sound clusters, composed parts as well as improvisations.Li Chin Sung(Dickson Dee) will direct the concert live on stage from his turntables and laptop with sampled and pre-produced sounds, loops and patterns and respond to the singing, chanting and roaring of the Mongolian musicians as well as to the improvisation parts of the Western instruments in between the composed parts.Music material is derived partly from Mongolian traditional tunes and will be varied, transformed and alienated into contemporary sounds and soundscapes by using the archaic voices and tunes of the Mongolian Long Song and Khoomii (throat singing technique) singers and the Mongolian Morin Khuur (horse head violin) player. This powerful Mongolian sound cast will be complemented by the unorthodox Korean percussionist Park Je Chun who bangs on Western and Korean instruments which are placed in an array around him while he is sitting on the floor, by one of the worlds most versatile jazz and contemporary musicians, the trumpet player Valentin Garvie from Argentina, the Austrian keyboard player Josef Novotny and finally by the Swedish Bass player Jonas Hellborg who is known as one of the worlds finest jazz bass players.
