In Ancient Kuzhebar, people didn’t separated ghosts in good and bad ones, but in eatable and not eatable ones. Kuzhebar people believed that when you eat a ghost you create a symbiosis with it. Through this symbiosis the human beeing and the ghost go their evolution ways and support each other.

Moreover, there were special musical rituals for eating ghosts by using a special wind musical instrument called "ghost catcher".Click here to watch a video with similar kind of ghost catcher (reconstructed, developed and played by Nadishana)

Overtone flute with pyrodesign. Sutable not only for playing but for dancing as well!

Posted on April 21st, 2010 by jsurba.
Categories: Ancient Kuzhebar, design, Julia Surba, Kuzhebar, Kuzhebar Design, music instruments, Nadishana, pyrography, Pyrography Art.

• Material – elder tree
• D key (C key available as well)
• made by Max Brumberg,
• Pyrography – Julia Surba
• Presentation – Nadishana

Price from 110 EUR (depending on artwork amount). Made by request. Available at our ethnic store now.

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.
