To many Chinese, playing traditional Chinese musical (instrument)，such as the guzheng or erhu, may seem a bit old-fashioned. But there are musicians who take these instruments and combine them modern sounds.
One of these artists (be) Brad Seippel. He is a 33-year-old music producer from the US city of New Orleans.
Seippel (play) music since he was just 12 years old. But it was not until he was 24 and living in China he learned to play the pipa.
"When I was young, my father encouraged me to play the bass guitar. A bass guitar has four strings，and so (do) the pipa, so for me it was natural," he said.
Seippel's music is (main) electronic and sounds quite modern. But the pipa lets him add unique element to his music.
Chinese musicians are bringing back (tradition) music as well. Nine Treasures is a heavy metal band from Inner Mongolia. They use Mongolian throat-singing (呼麦) and a horsehead fiddle to add a folk flavor to rock songs. I've seen them live many times myself—it is truly a powerful mix.
