"Yi Si Ge Le Harmonics"in Qin Wenchen's Music and Its Discursive Representation
The large number of harmonics used by Qin Wenchen in his compositions are his localised reconstruction of the harmonics of Western music and"yi se ge le"with Mongolian ethnic characteristics using the concept of de-familiarisation.This musical discourse-expressive mechanism is neither a direct copy of Western polyphonic language nor an application of traditional prototypes,but a return to one's own familiar cultural context in order to find one's own musical expressive mechanism.
