About OUR Team
The People Behind Living Mythologies:
There's no single route into the Living Mythologies Universe. Some of our musicians learned their craft from family in the Tuvan taiga; others found their way through rock bands, dance, conservatories, and recording studios. Many were already moving between musical traditions long before joining the collective.
Together with featured artists, producers, and engineers, they form a distributed creative and production network informally referred to as Oasis in the Stars—the people and working relationships behind Living Mythologies' original music within the broader Living Mythologies Universe.

Core Members
Living Mythologies brings together musicians from different cultural and musical backgrounds. Its core members work closely on original compositions, contributing their own ideas, instruments, and experiences to the band's evolving sound.
Andy Bauer
Andy Bauer grew up in a family of woodworkers in Colorado, where he remains based today. His parents' enthusiasm for 1970s rock provided an early musical soundtrack. He took up the twelve-string guitar during high school, developing an interest in songwriting that gradually became intertwined with his fascination for languages.
With a B.A. in Asian Studies and Economics, followed by an M.A. and Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology, Andy's academic interests eventually took him to China, where he studied at Minzu University of China while exploring contemporary music across Central and Inner Asia. Along the way, he developed proficiency in English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Vietnamese, and Uyghur, alongside some Tuvan.
His musical interests expanded well beyond the twelve-string guitar and American folk singing. He studied Tuvan throat singing, learned the Uyghur ghirjek and Tuvan igil, and incorporated synthesizers and multilingual vocals into his work. He also performed with musicians associated with Greywolf and Alash Ensemble.
In 2015, Andy co-founded Living Mythologies in Beijing. As a songwriter and composer, he develops original songs around melody, language, and narrative, leaving room for other musicians to transform arrangements through their own ideas. His approach is less concerned with combining established styles than with discovering where a song can go as it takes shape.
On “Along the Tarim,” his lead vocals and bass guitar anchor the recording, while his songwriting connects its different lyrical perspectives. The song is part of an extensive body of original work developed through years of musical collaboration.

Tran Nguyen grew up in Hanoi, Vietnam, in a family of university scholars specializing in linguistics and literature, surrounded by Vietnamese folk songs and contemporary music.
She holds a B.A. in Chinese Language, an M.A. and Ph.D. in Ethnology, and completed postdoctoral research in Folklore. Fluent in Vietnamese, Chinese, English, and Russian, with some knowledge of Tuvan, she has pursued music alongside her academic career. Her musical interests include Vietnamese folk singing, multilingual vocals, the đàn bầu, and guitar. She currently works as a Digital Curator at Columbia University on the Digitizing Vietnam project.
Tran has been involved with Living Mythologies since its early years, performing in the 2016 Inner Astronomy concerts and contributing to the band's recordings and creative development.

Radik Tyulyush (Радик Түлүш)
Radik Tyulyush grew up in southwestern Tuva and is based in Kyzyl. His musical education began within the family: during summers in the taiga, his grandfather and uncle taught him traditional songs, throat singing, and instrumental techniques.
He later studied at the Kyzyl School of Arts and the East-Siberian State Academy of Culture and Arts, earning degrees in Music and Musicology. His career has moved between rock and traditional acoustic music, including work with Uer, Yat-Kha, and Huun-Huur-Tu, alongside solo recordings such as Chalama (2013).
Radik sings in traditional Tuvan styles and practices several forms of throat singing. His instruments include the igil, byzaanchy, shoor, jaw harp, guitar, and cello. Based in Tuva, he speaks Tuvan, Russian, English, and German. Decades of performing across different musical settings have shaped his approach to both traditional repertoire and original music.
Within Living Mythologies, Radik brings that experience directly into the songwriting and arrangements. His vocals and instrumental playing introduce melodies, textures, and musical ideas that help shape the band's evolving sound.
Mohichehra Shamurotova (莫希切拉)
Mohichehra Shamurotova grew up in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, in a family deeply involved in music, literature, and poetry. Her father is a writer, playwright, singer, and musician, while her mother has researched Bukhara's musical traditions. Her grandmother was a singer, and earlier generations included *baxshi*, performers of oral poetry and traditional narratives.
Mohichehra began singing with her mother's folklore ensemble before pursuing formal studies in Bukhara and Mavrigi music, earning an M.A. in Folk Vocology. She later established an award-winning career as an Uzbek maqom vocalist, performing internationally and teaching at the Uzbek National Institute of Musical Arts named after Yunus Rajabiy.
Now based in Tashkent, she performs in Uzbek, Azerbaijani, Turkish, English, and French. Her musical interests extend from traditional maqom and Bukhara's folk repertoire to contemporary songwriting and multilingual performance.

Sirojiddin Usmanov
Sirojiddin Usmanov was born in Margilan, in Uzbekistan's Fergana Valley, and is now based in Tashkent. He studied kanun and chang at the Fergana State Art School before continuing at the Tashkent State Conservatory, graduating from its Faculty of Oriental Music in 1999. He won third and second prizes at the Yunus Rajabi International Competition of Performers in 1995 and 1999, respectively.
From 2002 to 2020, Sirojiddin performed with the ensemble of celebrated Uzbek singer Yulduz Usmanova, touring extensively across Europe, Asia, and North America. He has also remained active in music education and is currently affiliated with the Uzbek National Institute of Musical Arts named after Yunus Rajabiy.
Specializing in kanun, chang, Uzbek traditional music, and maqom, Sirojiddin has also worked across contemporary genres, including ethno-rock. His playing combines technical precision with a feel for melody and improvisation, developed through decades of performance.

Ji Peng (纪鹏)
.png)
Ji Peng began studying keyboard as a child and developed an interest in the rawap during her teenage years. She studied under Alimjan Tursun at Minzu University of China and performed as a soloist at major Beijing venues, including the National Centre for the Performing Arts. She later earned an M.A. from the Uzbekistan State Conservatory of Music in Tashkent, further developing her instrumental and arranging skills.
Now based in Ulanhot, China, Ji speaks Uyghur/Uzbek, Chinese, English, and Russian. Her musical background spans rawap, keyboard, arrangement, and Central Asian instrumental traditions, combining years of formal training with experience in contemporary performance.
Ji joined Living Mythologies in 2018 as a rawap player and arranger. Her experience with both keyboard and plucked-string instruments gives her a versatile approach to developing melodies and arrangements.
On “Along the Tarim,” her rawap playing works alongside electric bass, keyboards, percussion, and layered vocals. Rather than serving as an ornamental element, her melodic lines play an active role in shaping the song, reflecting her instincts as both an instrumentalist and arranger.

Yasin Artan (亚森·阿尔坦)
Yasin Artan grew up in a Uyghur family in Kashgar, where his father was a folk musician who sang and played the dutar. Music was part of family life long before Yasin developed his own interests in guitar, songwriting, and improvisation.
His musical interests expanded into modern flamenco, gypsy jazz, Latin music, Uyghur folk music, and experimental performance. Now based in Beijing, Yasin speaks Uyghur and Chinese and has worked extensively as a guitarist, songwriter, and recording musician. His projects include Almichi Anar with the Jam band and his original song “Yarim Yok.”
Within Living Mythologies, Yasin also serves as an ambiance producer, focusing on the atmosphere and relationships that shape the creative process. He believes trust, openness, and spontaneous interaction between musicians are as important as technical skill in making a recording.
Rather than directing every musical contribution toward a predetermined result, Yasin values the chemistry that emerges through improvisation and collaboration. As he puts it, “the feeling is the most important thing.”
Activity Highlights
-
Released Almichi Anar with the Jam band.
-
2016 — Original song “Yarim Yok” featured in Xinjiang Television's Beijing · Bird's Nest Meshrep concert.

Featured Musicians
Living Mythologies regularly works with guest musicians whose individual styles and talents bring something new to its recordings. Each collaboration adds another dimension to the music.
Seva Ivanov (Сева Иванов)
Drummer · Percussionist · Music Producer · Mixing Engineer
Seva Ivanov began receiving music lessons at the age of three. Drawn to drums and popular music from childhood, he later pursued classical percussion and orchestral performance, played in a military band, and studied sound engineering and music production in St. Petersburg.
His musical life now extends well beyond the drum kit. Seva works as a professional recording and mixing engineer with Musiversal, collaborating with artists internationally, and maintains his own studio practice. His work spans rock, jazz, pop, experimental production, and sound design for visual media.
More than a decade of studio experience has given him an understanding of music from both sides of the microphone. As a performer, he brings precision, energy, and responsiveness; as an engineer, he listens to how the individual parts become a complete recording.
Seva's interests in literature, musical philosophy, and experimentation inform an approach in which rhythm is an active element of composition rather than merely accompaniment.
On Living Mythologies' “Along the Tarim,” he contributes percussion and appears in the music video. His role brings together two sides of his musical identity: the physical immediacy of performance and the careful listening required to make a recording feel alive.
Maya (マヤ)
Erhu Soloist · Recording Artist · Educator
Growing up in Okinawa, Japan, MAYA was fascinated by the sound of the erhu from an early age. She began studying the instrument at eight and moved to Beijing as a teenager to pursue a musical education that would eventually take her through some of China's leading institutions.
She studied at the Beijing Contemporary Music Academy and Minzu University of China under erhu performer and educator Jiang Jianhua, later continuing her graduate studies at the China Conservatory of Music under Song Fei. During her training, she received four consecutive Beijing Government scholarships and earned recognition in major erhu competitions.
MAYA's performing career has included appearances at Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts and solo recitals in Tokyo and Okinawa. Alongside recording and concert work, she has devoted considerable attention to teaching and exploring new possibilities for the erhu, including arrangements drawing on melodies from Okinawa. She also operates the Onseisho (音星昇) learning center.
She is scheduled to make her Living Mythologies debut on an original single during the 2027 Spring Festival. The collaboration offers another setting for the instrument that first captured her imagination, allowing her own phrasing and musical ideas to become part of a new work within the Living Mythologies universe.
Adil Abliz ( ئادىل ئابلىز｜阿地力·阿不力孜 )
Ghirjek · Satar · Bowed-String Performance
Adil was born into a musical family in Kashgar in 1981. His father was a ghirjek player, his mother a singer, and both Adil and his younger brother were introduced to instrumental music within the family. Adil began learning the ghirjek under his father's guidance and had developed a strong foundation by the age of thirteen.
He entered the Kashgar School of Art in 1997, graduating in 2000 and remaining as a teacher before continuing his studies at the Xinjiang Arts Institute. In 2004, he was invited to join the China Ethnic Song and Dance Ensemble, beginning a professional career that has included concerts and cultural performances in numerous countries.
His principal instruments, the ghirjek and satar, offer distinctive possibilities for sustained melody and expressive phrasing. Their bowed voices can bring intensity, movement, and emotional detail to an arrangement.
Adil's contributions to Living Mythologies include instrumental parts documented for to-be-released compositions such as “Human River” and “In the Color Red.” His playing brings another melodic voice into the band's original music, shaped by a lifetime of instrumental study and performance.
Mergen Shi (石家豪)
Vocalist · Throat Singer · Lyricist · Cultural Researcher
Mergen developed an interest in languages, history, and music during his youth in China. At thirteen, he began teaching himself Tuvan music, eventually traveling to Kanas in 2016 to pursue that interest more closely. There, he joined the Mandalash Band and participated in the Silk Road Music Festival.
Alongside performance, Mergen developed an interest in writing and translating lyrics between languages. His studies in anthropology and his curiosity about the cultures and languages of Inner Asia informed his approach to this work.
For Mergen, a lyric is more than a sequence of words carrying a particular meaning. Its rhythm, imagery, and emotional character must also work within the song. That sensitivity is especially valuable when music moves between languages.
His contribution to Living Mythologies' “Along the Tarim” includes choral vocals and ezengileer, a rhythmically pulsing form of Tuvan throat singing. He also appears in the music video.
His interests in voice, language, and composition meet naturally in a project where a song can develop through several different lyrical and musical perspectives.
Production & Technical Personnel
From recording and arrangement to mixing and mastering, these collaborators help bring Living Mythologies' music to life. Their experience and creative input are essential to the production of each recording.
Chingis Sorju (Чингис Соржу)
Chingis Sorju grew up in Tuva in a family whose occupations included acting, public-sector work, and music. His grandparents were performers with the folk ensemble Sayan, and much of his childhood was spent backstage, surrounded by rehearsals, theatre productions, and working musicians.
His own interests took him toward guitar and punk rock. He began playing guitar at eleven, joined a local band as a teenager, and started learning sound engineering because he wanted to record his own compositions.
That practical curiosity eventually became a profession. After formal studies in St. Petersburg, Chingis worked with a wide range of Tuvan artists and ensembles, including projects involving the Tuvan National Orchestra and the rock group Uer. He is also a song writer, producer and performer in the Tuvan ensemble as well as songwriter, producer and performer in the group Oduchu.
As a collaborator with Living Mythologies, he brings experience in recording music that involves contrasting instruments, vocal approaches, and production techniques.
His work combines the judgment of an engineer with the instincts of someone who began as a performer. The challenge is not simply to capture each part clearly, but to preserve its character while helping the entire recording hold together as a piece of music.
Askar Kurban (艾斯卡尔·库尔班)
Composer · Music Producer · Studio Founder
Askar Kurban was born in Xinhe County in China's Aksu region. His musical education began with piano studies at the Xinjiang Arts Institute, followed by seven years studying composition at the Kazakh National Conservatory.
This combination of instrumental and compositional training helped shape his understanding of melody, harmony, and arrangement. After returning to Xinjiang, he founded Dream Modulation Studio in 2012, establishing a professional base for recording and producing music with a wide range of singers and instrumentalists.
His work has included original compositions, studio production, and television music, including projects associated with Meshrep TV. Working across different musical settings has given him experience in recognizing the particular qualities of a performer and building arrangements that make effective use of them.
Within the Living Mythologies network, Askar contributes a composer's and producer's perspective. His musical interests are grounded in the practical work of developing ideas, shaping arrangements, and helping a recording acquire its own identity.
A successful production is not merely a collection of well-recorded parts. The real achievement is hearing how they belong together.
Misha Oshkanov (Миша Ошканов)
Mixing Engineer · Sound Producer
Mikhail Oshkanov, professionally credited as Misha Oshkanov, is a recording and mixing engineer of Ural-Finnic heritage whose work spans rock, experimental music, acoustic ensembles, and productions involving a wide variety of instruments and vocal techniques.
His projects have included the Tuvan ensemble Oduchu, Brylev Band, Partyone, and The O, alongside theatrical and media productions requiring detailed sound design.
Misha's approach is marked by patience, technical precision, and an ability to work with arrangements in which many contrasting musical elements must occupy the same space. Drums need impact, bass needs definition, and voices must retain their individuality, yet every element has to serve the larger composition.
As mixing engineer for Living Mythologies' 2026 single “Along the Tarim,” Misha helped bring the recording's different instrumental and vocal parts into a coherent whole.
His work reflects an essential part of the band's creative process: ensuring that an intricate arrangement can be heard as one piece of music without losing the distinct character of the people performing it.
Gavin Tempany
FOH & Monitor Engineer · Recording & Broadcast Engineer · Mastering Engineer
Originally from Western Australia and based in the United Kingdom, Gavin Tempany has built an international career spanning concert sound, recording, mixing, and mastering. A guitarist before becoming a professional engineer, he developed an early appreciation for both music and the practical ingenuity he admired in his father's ability to make and build things.
His career has taken him onto some of the world's most celebrated stages. He served as monitor engineer for David Gilmour of Pink Floyd on the 2015–2016 Rattle That Lock world tour, including the historic concerts at Pompeii in July 2016. Other major monitor assignments have included Kylie Minogue, Hans Zimmer Live, Mark Knopfler, Roxy Music, and Will Young. He has also worked at both front of house and monitors for Tame Impala.
His front-of-house credits include Sir Tom Jones, Sir Cliff Richard, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets, Mike and the Mechanics, Will Young, and Young Voices. During Genesis's 2021 North American tour, he stepped in to mix front of house when the band's regular engineer became unavailable.
Beyond touring, Gavin's recording and broadcast experience includes work with U2 at Abbey Road Studios, Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift at a Kensington Palace gala, and projects involving Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding. His recording and mixing work has also included Winfield House Sessions featuring Annie Lennox, The National, and Belle and Sebastian. In 2021, he worked on the Young Voices Biggest Sing, a large-scale event livestreamed to an audience of approximately half a million people.
Across these varied settings, Gavin brings the same attention to musical detail, dynamic balance, and the character of a performance, whether working in a recording studio or behind a console at a major international concert.
As mastering engineer for Living Mythologies, including the 2026 single “Along the Tarim,” Gavin brings decades of experience to the final stage of production, ensuring that the band's intricate arrangements retain their clarity, energy, and individual character.
Gavin also contributed lead guitar solo additions to Living Mythologies to-be-released single "Bavarian Ancestry".
