Prog. notes: "General Xiaolie" is an audiovisual electronic music created with human voices and
opera percussion as sound materials. The original sound is based on the lyrics of
the Chinese Henan opera "Mulan". During the Yining reign of Emperor Gongdi of Sui
Dynasty, Turkic prisoner, Hua Mulan The woman pretended to be a man and joined
the army on behalf of her father. In the Tang Dynasty, she was named "General
Xiaolie".
The whole work is based on the "sound symbol" organization principle, and uses
GTM tools, FabFilter, Waves and other plug-ins to transform, and finally organically
integrate electronic music with traditional Chinese opera culture. The whole song is
divided into three parts, A-B-A', which compares women's weakness and rigidity, so
as to achieve the artistic effect of combining rigidity and flexibility.
《孝烈将军》是⼀部以⼈声、戏曲打击乐作为声⾳材料创作的幻听类电⼦⾳乐，原声
取材于中国豫剧《花⽊兰》的唱词，隋恭帝义宁年间，突厥犯边，花⽊兰⼥扮男装，
代⽗从军，到了唐代追封为“孝烈将军”
。
整⾸作品基于“声⾳符号”组织原则，并使⽤GTM tools、FabFilter、Waves等插件进⾏
变形，最终将电⼦⾳乐与中国传统戏曲⽂化有机的融合。全曲分为A-B-A'三个部分，
将⼥⼦的柔弱与刚烈进⾏对⽐，从⽽达到刚柔并济的艺术效果。
