Kuimba: Music/Lyrics
Xi'an
(Kuimba)
Music, Kris Bowerman
This piece of music is dedicated to the first capital China, Xi'an, where we lived for 26 months (2003 - '05), and to the first Olympics in China which were held in the summer of 2008. This piece was inspired by hearing the music at the Baxian Gong Daoist Temple in Xi'an. I created it to represent my experience of seeing the ancient city transforming into its modern form.
Personnel: Kris Bowerman, xiao, hu lu si, trombone, synthesizer
