Three sonic travellers on their journey through scapes of ancient Kuzhebar, present ethno world fusion and future ambients melt their musical identities into one sound. Born in three different regions of the planet they came together to share their wide-spanned instrumental skills, blending exotic sculptures with earthy grooves and distinctive melodies, creating mind-shifting rhythms played with trancey facileness.

 

 

 

 

 

Nadishana

Vladiswar Nadishana is a multi-instrumentalist and composer from Siberia. He developed his own unique and innovative approach to world fusion music - the creative synthesis of different musical traditions of the world on the basis of contemporary technologies. Nadishana plays more than 200 instruments of the world, including self-created ones.

In 1990 along with studying in Sankt-Petersburg V. Nadishana began his self-education in playing guitar. That time he discovered traditional music of India, Africa, Asia, Russia and Europe. All that greatly inspired him and he started his endless musical journey. Nadishana mastered himself many ethnic instruments: sitar, mandola, jew's harps, kou xiang, khomus, morsing, ethnic percussion (djembe, udu, cajon, frame drums, berimbao); winds (bansuri, quena, overtone flutes, kalyuka, zhaleyka, gayda, hu-lu-si, duclar, bawu, tsaaj nplaim, kaval). Besides that he has created some experimental musical instruments: pruzhingum, plastrimbaphon, rablorrum, ghostcatcher, pin-sansa, rod-spring gamelan, banbang etc.

All that was needed to realize his idea of a special sound of the music he started to compose. For that purpose he also had developed a special approach of music production, which he called “sound microsurgery”.

In the years 2000-2011 V. Nadishana recorded 8 solo albums in his studio blending ancient sounds and modern approaches. By playing different instruments he discovered the variety of techniques and that brought him to idea of inventing new hybrid instruments. Together with european innovative luthiers Nadishana elaborated such experimental instruments as futujara, hybrid kaval, dzuddahord etc.
