One tone, minus all – re:connecting to Khoomei, is a project developed to explore the boundaries of visualising Khoomei in a confined space by utilising its unique characteristics.

This music acts as a form of spiritual communication with nature, often sang during festivals as a form of praise or offerings. Unique as it may be, just as any traditional art form, Khoomei today experiences a gradual loss of the cultural emphasis and significance.
