Flower pot solo

Vladiswar Nadishana — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 12:20:27 +0000

Solo on old flower pot, live @ La Zampogna festival, Formia, IT
filmed by Julia Surba.

That’s an old flower pot not intended as musical instrument. It was left by a previous owner of our flat and was resting inside a shelf for many years. About 1 month ago i saw it and checked the sound since i’m always interested in kitchenware. The sound was good although the trickiest thing is to hold it and change playing positions.

Thanks to Erasmo Treglia for bringing us there.

Three Mystical Birds of Ancient Kuzhebar

Vladiswar Nadishana — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 01:11:06 +0000

The work of all together 4 years (2009-2012) – the triptych ???Mystical Birds of Ancient Kuzhebar??? is finished now.
It is pyrography on wood with carved elements

The story behind:

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 provides access to wisdom and omniscience.

Our creative input to Krutushka festival 2012

Vladiswar Nadishana — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 18:15:00 +0000

Krutushka festival is one of the best ethnic music festivals running in Russian Federation. For the 4th time it took place near Kazan (the capital of Tatarstan) at a nice remote place surrounded by forest and unique blue lakes.
People who are responsible for the music on the festival are very good musicians (band Khool Zhingel) and this is the reason that the musical program is so interesting and presents wide range as of traditional folk music of former USSR and abroad as of contemporary ethnic music and world fusion scene.

Kuzhebar Design presented there the exposition of traditional and own head dresses. In the context of the exposition Julia Surba gave a workshop about head dresses in different cultures.

Nadishana-Gorelik Duo enriched the festival program with beatiful compositions and breathtaking improvisations.

Our biggest thank to organizers of the festival, to all musicians and just nice people who were the part of it and created a very nice atmosphere there!
