about

Unusual and unexpected meeting between the GUO GAN’s traditional erhu (two-stringed Chinese violin) and the rare and unconventional instruments (Hammered Dulcimer, Hang, Din Pah, chromatic Mbira, Cristal Baschet, Glass Harp) here in the hands of LOUP BARROW. Mysterious tools sometimes more exotic than the Chinese erhu, sources of ancestral sounds, rich in contemporary charms able to contextualize uniquely not only original compositions, but also the classical pieces of Chinese tradition. The CD program includes in fact a repertoire ranging from traditional impressionistic pieces of classical Chinese to original songs composed by the two artists. You hear the new version of the classic ride (Saima) from the GUO GAN repertoire. A track that exceptionally tests the virtuosity of the erhu player, here presented in an ocean of ancestral sounds and mysterious evocations of outer spaces creating a music full of visual elements. A music with deep emotional contact with the listeners accompanying them in unexplored territories full of echoes with classic and contemporary sounds.
