Lullaby for Mother Nature, a performance by
by Ganzug Sedbazar & Davaajargal Tsaschikher
Presented by Lovely Daze for the 15th anniversary celebration at TKG+ in Taipei on January 15th, 2020.

Since the ancient times in Mongolia, nomads have performed many important ceremonies and rituals for infants when they are frightened or suffer from an illness. During certain rituals to dispel demons, they sing the words "Don't fear" or "Buu ai” to the
infant for reassurance. In time, the phrase "Buu ai" was transformed to "Buuvei" or Lullaby.

Inspired by this ancient tradition, the artists wanted to offer their own interpretation of this ritual
to highlight the destructive paths of contemporary techno-evolution on our environment. This is
a "Buuvei" to Mother Nature...

GANGZUG SEDBAZAR was born in 1978 in Mongolia. After the collapse of socialist system in 1990, his generation or artists enjoyed the greatest artistic freedom in their practice in Mongolia. As a
child, Sedbazar has experienced a period of turmoil as Mongolia went through economic, social and
ecological change. This experience influences and informs his artistic practice deeply.

at Amarbayasgalant (2013), the second album of his band, was inspired by Mongolian traditional
melodies and modern rock elements combined with Nomadic philosophy. Mohanik has been invited to
numerous music festivals and shows in Mongolia, Russia, China, Korea and Japan. Davaajargal started to experiment with sound compositions and sound installations since 2012.
