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.

Nadishana Trio "Overtone Story"

Posted on February 1st, 2010 by nadishana.
Categories: music, performance, nadishana, music instruments.

At this video you can see the example of seemless integration of futujara flute in to the band setting. Unlike traditional slovak fujara, futujara made with the idea to be used as an ensemble instrument, not just a solo instrument.

This video recorded at SoUndSo Festival, Wels, Austria.
Nadishana - futujara,
Armin Metz - 6-string bass,
Steve Shehan - percussion

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.

This man highly influenced me when i started to play music. Yesterday i had a possibility to visit his studio and to play with him.

Great Master and wonderful personality! He is one of rare persons who are able to create his own magic reality with his music.
