Flute decoration consists of fertility symbols and symbols connected with the ritual of Kuzhebar people called Shuol Khymat.
Shuol Khymat were usually celebrated twice a year – at spring (Ashuol Khymat) and at autumn (Yshuol Khymat). Ancient Kuzhebar people considered the sun as a source of the great power, which can be used in various ways. Their method of solar energy utilization is very similar to the description of photosynthesis process. We think it’s connected with their belief that human and plant worlds are not separated, more than humans are partly plants. It might be said that kuzhebar people had a peculiar knowledge about what we call now photosynthesis and vitamin D fixation.
Most relevant translation of “Shuol Khymat†term is Photosynthesis Dance (capturing-solar-energy dance)
Unfortunately the complete ritual is lost, but we had used some elements of it which are still extant. Normally the ritual had to take place in a very sunny day. It was accompanied by playing on overtone flute and by special movements. Ancient kuzhebar people believed that flute sounds in combination with special dance help to capture the solar energy in a most efficient way.

Pyrography and Dzuddahord
Posted on February 8th, 2010 by jsurba.
Categories: Julia Surba, Kuzhebar Design, music instruments, Nadishana, pyrography.
Dzuddahord is an unique experimental hybrid instrument invented by multi-instrumentalist Vladiswar Nadishana.
Dzuddahord combines three different musical instruments in one: mandola, sitar and gusli.
Where is the connection between the dzuddahord and pyrography? Pyrographic symbols burned by Julia Surba adorn now this unique instrument.
One part of the symbols has to conjure the soundingenieur, the other one is for conjuring the ghosts of non linear distortion.

Festival report. Folkest 2009, Spilimbergo (Italy)
Posted on August 1st, 2009 by jsurba.
Categories: exhibitions, festivals, foto, music instruments.
Very nice festival with old tradition, which is focused mostly on folk music from Italy with participation of folk and ethno-fusion music bands from over the world.
The festival goes a whole month long and travels trhough different cities of Italy. The finish concerts of the festival takes place in Spilimbergo, an old small sunny town (not far from Venice) with friendly and open people around.
The life in Spilimbergo is really very relaxed. The town is dead between 12:00 and 17:00, the hottest time of a day:)
But in the evening all festival areas were full. There were 3 stages with rich program during the festival and near each about 500-800 listeners. Also by the concert of Nadishana, who finished the festival program.
The concert was really successful and people react very enthusiastic during it.
We also presented our music instruments and art object during the festival.
It is strange but presenting of music instruments is not typical for Folkest. We had only one neighbour stand with classical harps from Italy.
There were many people who saw such kind of instrument as a jew harp for the first time. But some already knew this instrument because in Sicily exists a similar one called “scacciapensieri†(what means in Italian: “it drives thoughts awayâ€) I saw how people liked our futujara and were very thankful for its presentation. Kuaamu also found theirs fans in Italy.
We enjoyed our stay in Spilimbergo, a city with a special south flavor. And we are really thankful to Andrea, Alessandro, Odette and other festival stuff for help and support during the festival.

Le Rêve de l’Aborigène ’09
Absolutely great festival!
At the beginning there were only two persons who brought and developed the idea of the festival: Sylvestre& Fred.
On the pic below Nadishana (left) and Silvestre (right) 
This year the festival happens for the 8th time and as usual brings together many musicians and alternative people from all over the world. This time there were over 4.000 people who enjoyed their beeing together from till of July in a beautiful place in the nature near the city Airvault in France.
Thhe festival is focused on didgeridoo, jew harps and troat thinging.
On the festival area you could see many groups of people playing together just for fun or testing music instruments on many stands.
The first part of the day was full of different workshops (on the pic below – jew harp workshop of Nadishana) 
and of open stage performances
and in the evening everybody was attracted by the rich and interesting concert program on the main stage under powerfull cedar trees.
My personal favorites in the concert program were Dörvön Berkh-group with traditional throat singing (Mongolia), Dubravko Lapaine (Croatia) with his incerdible didg techniques and Nadishana (!). Sorry for no pics, I was filming during concerts:)
The remarkable side of the festival is that it is not only devoted to music but also present and support the alternative style of life. Everything goes in an ecological way. Alkohol on the festival is absolutely forbidden, what creates a very rare atmosphare of clearness, joy and pure celebration. We enjoyed it a lot!!! I didn t see any dust during all our beeing there (only in the dust bins :)).More than that on the festival you can find only very good organic food, and there is no use of one way dishes, people wash up themselves, doesn t matter if you are an orginizer of the festival or an artist or a visitor.
Me and Nadishana were very happy to be on the festival with the concert and stand with music instruments and art objects. 
We also thank for good organisation, for the interest to our art and for the great atmosphare during the concert of Nadishana. First time in my life I saw such sensitive and enthusiastic listeners!
I would also like to use the possibility to thank all people who sincere helped us during the festival. Long live Le Rêve de l’Aborigène! I am sure we ll come back there again. It is really a place to be!
