Supposed paradoxes are broken at a highly artistic level. In Mongolia, the sounds of nature have been imitated for centuries through the sound of voices and instruments.

The Urtin Duu singing of the women, for example, comforts the listener over the overwhelming silence of the Gobi Desert, while the overtone singing of the men, accompanied by the Mongolian national instrument, the horse-head fiddle, conjures up images of Genghis Khan and his horsemen.
