A trained opera singer with perfect pitch, fluent in Russian, Mongolian, French, English, and German, her voice is a true demonstration of East meets West. Her voice is otherworldly, but genuine and world class in its precision. She is featured on the soundtrack of Disney’s upcoming remake of Mulan and recently toured with Hans Zimmer with his live performances of the score from The Dark Knight. Forbes says “her voice harkens back to ancient civilizations,” and she has been nominated as “Female Singer of the Year.” She has appeared internationally on television, radio, and in live performances, reaching over 25 million views across all platforms.

Keys

Sustain

A wide variety of vocal instruments, including Melismas, Slurs, Sustain Vibratos, Non Vibratos and Up Downs. If you want flare and earthiness but don’t need many connected notes, Sustain is your best option.

Legato

In addition to providing true legato for every interval up to an octave, Uyanga’s performances are recorded in two distinctly different styles: traditional and Mongolian. When you need a fluid performance that comes as close to live as possible, this will likely be your go-to collection in this library.

Combo

These instruments combine multiple articulations into a single instrument that uses the Mod Wheel (CC1) or Velocity Sensitivity to determine which of the different articulations will playback. This collection is the best choice for real time flexibility while playing, due to the simplicity and speed with which you can make performance adjustments.

These 29 words contain nontonal performances of specific words mapped across a 2 octave range, ideal for when you need the character of Uyanga’s voice without any melodic qualities. Bro, Dee, Dez, Djan, Door, Gor, Greer, HohuaHua, Jee, KahlKo, Kohn, La, Le, Mai, MohJey, Nar, Nosh, Rain, Sha, Som, Stra, StraBeyHe, Stro, Ve, VesLa, Vom, Vos, Vos (Breathy), Yer.

Phrases

Instruments containing a total of 254 phrases sung in western and non-western styles (roughly 21 phrases for each of the 12 root notes). These improvised recordings gave Uyanga the chance to let loose, so while they don’t always stay in key, they more than make up for it in passion and spontaneity.
