Electronic music gets jolt of good vibes

China Daily  

Composer Zhang Xiaofu's three music pieces inspired by his trips to Xizang were staged as a multimedia concert in Tianjin in November 2020. CHINA DAILY "I told the musicians that when they perform the three music pieces, they just have to imagine themselves being among snowy mountains, flowing rivers and lovely Tibetan people," Zhang adds. This will be the first time the three music pieces will be performed as a trilogy in Beijing to portray Tibetan culture through multimedia, classical music, visual images and electronic music. "Though electronic music is often associated with words like abstract and obscure, I am glad that the audience enjoyed the concert because they shared familiar sounds with the music pieces," Zhang says.
