Released in November 2012 by Asia Records Taiwan as part of the “Soulful Music Series,” The Overtones (弦外之音) is a captivating exploration of Chinese instrumental music led by virtuoso erhu player Yang Si-xiong. This album delicately weaves traditional instrumentation with contemporary sensibilities, producing a listening experience that is both meditative and emotionally rich.
Yang Si-xiong masterfully performs on the erhu, zhonghu, and gaohu, showcasing a wide emotional range throughout the 12-track collection. From the intimate melancholy of “Plucking the Strings on a Rainy Night” to the serene contemplation in “At Onlooker at the Surging Clouds,” the album evokes a sense of inner peace and nostalgia. The title track, “The Overtones,” beautifully captures the essence of the album—notes that linger beyond their sound, resonating in the listener’s soul.
Producer and composer Zhou Zhihong, also responsible for the album’s arrangements and recording, ensures that every instrument—from the soft bamboo tones of Luo Qirui’s dizi and hulusi, to the gentle guitar and bass—supports the erhu without overwhelming it. The use of MIDI and modern production techniques subtly enhances the atmosphere without compromising the acoustic purity.
Each composition feels like a chapter of a quiet story told without words—tracks such as “A Tranquil Corner of the Mind” and “Foggy Mountains and Waters” paint vivid soundscapes reminiscent of ink brush paintings. The final track, “Swift Clouds Against Daylight,” brings the journey to a poetic close, light and fleeting like drifting clouds.
The Overtones is a meditative gem for lovers of Chinese instrumental music, perfect for quiet evenings, tea sessions, or simply tuning into one’s inner world.
