Colin Huehns began his research with a project in Pakistan in 1989 that resulted in approximately 100 hours of recording. This part of his collection focuses on music from the Hindu Kush and Karakorum areas and features instrumental and vocal genres. In 1994 he conducted a fieldtrip to Xinjiang in China, resulting in roughly 12 hours of recordings of songs accompanied on a range of local instruments. The following year Colin travelled through Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan recording performances of popular and traditional repertoire.
