Introduction of the band:
The word "Hang Gai" in Mongolian means a world full of blue sky、white clouds、grassland、rivers、hills and trees. The band consists of 6 people from different areas of China and they put themselves into the Mongolia Music for years. Their instruments include guitar、bass、drums and the special traditional instruments like Nigenkin、Trichord and Morinhuur. And the most special “instrument” is Khoomei, which can be performed by members to sing two to three keys at the same time.

During production:
The players said that they would like to sit in a circle as if they play in live shows so that they can make the performance more touching. To avoid the noise during the recording,we set some carpets. Therefore,we chose mode X.Y and put the blumlein in the middle of them as the main microphone system. We also chose mode A.B as environmental microphones which were away from the mode X.Y with a distance about 5 meters.Then we gave a spot microphone to the coryphaeus. Because of his special singing style, we set a noiseproof net for the coryphaeus. This was the first time we used blumlein in practise and it was almost satisfactory.

During post-production:
The shortage of low frequency during the whole song seemed evident, I used a Parametric Equalizer to upgrade some low frequency appropriately. And I used midi to add Tambourine in the second repeat part for the first song below.
