Grammy and Oscar-winning composer Tan Dun was in Shanghai earlier this week to promote his latest DVD.
He held a seminar with Yu Dan, a famous Confucian scholar and best-selling writer in Shanghai. The seminar was titled "Nature, Man and Music."
Tan is well known for his collaboration with the New York Philharmonic in the production of "water music," using water as the main instrument.
Tan played some footage of how he collected some "water music" by asking professional divers to enter the water in different ways.
