At GENGHIS LAB, the musical traditions of 13th- and 14th-century multi-ethnic Mongolia meet European music from the Middle Ages through to the early Renaissance, accompanied by contemporary Mongolian poetry and video art. Are there any reconstructable instances of reciprocal cultural exchange from the era of the Silk Road that continue to have an impact today? How do ancient nomadic traditions and ways of life shaped by the steppe relate to the digital nomadism of the present day? What knowledge is embedded in instruments such as the Altai yatga (Mongolian zither), the limbe (Mongolian flute), the ever buree (Mongolian horn) or the khuur string instruments? And how does the Mongolian art of kh\u00f6\u00f6mii (overtone singing) correspond with European vocal techniques such as yodelling?<\/p>\n
