5245 miles from London lies the Dai village. Here, people use dried gourds and bamboo tubes to construct musical instruments and play the same songs across generations to tell the ancient legend of love and sincerity. There is an exploration of the vanishing traditions of the Dai hulusi, which remain hidden behind ancient tunes in new collaborative compositions. A unique flute enhances the style built over four years of experimentation.
