The Kuzheshu-Fish was often honoured with special songs in Ancient Kuzhebar. When somebody wanted to know something about relatives or friends who were far away, he sang a question-song to Kuzheshu.

Kuzheshu-Fish knew everything what had even happen under or above the earth. It lived in water and all secrets and mysteries, which were kept in rivers, lakes, seas and oceans, in ground waters and waterfalls, in rain, fog, steam and even in tears of  humans and animals were for it easy accessible.

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.

Three Magic Windows

Old Kuzhebar legends tell about courageous travellers, who took risks to travel through different reality tunnels, so they could see other worlds which were different from one we usually know. Sometimes these travellers brought some objects from the visited worlds or they tried to depict them. The images were used by them to get into the world they liked again.

Here are Three Magic Windows into three different worlds “reconstructed” by Julia Surba.

Pyrography and Dzuddahord

Dzuddahord is an unique experimental hybrid instrument invented by multi-instrumentalist  Vladiswar Nadishana

Nadishana_Dzudi

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.
