Video: Excerpts from Nadishana's concert on the festival

We just came back from the 1st International Maultrommel Festival (Jew's Harp Festival) which took part 23rd-25th Nov in Leipzig, Germany. That was exiting experience, we met a lot of enthusiastic people who loves this little instrument! They came

from all over the world: Canada, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, Israel and of course Germany. The festival was organized by the two very well known jaw harp lovers Clemens Voigt & Sven Otto. They have probably the biggest online jew's harp store Danmoi.de . On the market of the festival they've presented huge collection of jew's harps from all over the world.

Our appearance on the festival was the concert and workshop of Nadishana and the stand on the market with the production of Sound Microsurgery Department and various stuff from "Kuzhebar Design" Studio (Julia Surba). We presented russian overtone flutes kalyuka and Altaian Khomuses in custom designed ceder cases with pyrography artwork. It was a big pleasure to be in such a friendly and kind atmosphere of the festival. Our special thanks to fantastic festival team, the organization was on very high level and the programm was really interesting and reach!

You can listen to the sounds of Kuzhebarian dragons' fight when Jean from the group vermaledeyt.de will play his davul. Kuzhebar Design had decorated for him this beautiful drum made by David&Roman with henna painting.Dragons were reputed in Ancient Kuzhebar to be very powerful and tricky, who came to play their own plays between people. This picture on davul depicts the fight between two dragons: a flying and a walking one. They are desperately fighting for a magic power. The walking dragon had won and is carring in its hands the symbol of power.Video with Nadishana making the dragons sound is coming soon!

Kuzhebarian tales say about three mystical birds, who are providers of different power-sorces. For mortals, however, the birds were dangerous and indifferent at the same time. One of them symbolizes darkness, another light and the third one wisdom. Kuzhebarian people believed that each of these birds come to each person one time a life and everybody has to choose with which of them to be connected. People give their emotions, intentions and thoughts like food to the birds and birds provide them a power they have. One gives the power to complain or to be angry, another the power to be joyful and to laugh, and the third one gives access to wisdom.Julia Surba decided to materialize these three birds in a pyrography-trilogy. Here you can see the first of the birds, the darkness bird, also called the "gloom-bird" in kuzhebarian mythology.As usually described in kuzhebarian tales it is shown crying with the symbols of power it gives and takes above and under its head. The symbols on the frame depict the ways the gloom-bird can be connected with people.
