Excerpt
from the booklet:
(...) Tuva - the quiet, proud and lonely country with its
own voice. Located in the centre of Asia, in the south of
Siberia, on the northern border of Mongolia, (..) cut off
from the rest of the world by mountains. (...) Tuvinians are
nomads and even now are living in their yurts in the steppes
together with their herds of goats, sheep, horses, yaks and
camels. This small nation totals about three hundred thousand
people. Tuvinians profess to the Lamaīs branch of Buddhism,
but Buddhism on Tuvinian ground closely interlaces with a
much more ancient shamanism. (...)
Tuvinians accord music with great respect. In the peopleīs
language: "A body bathes in water, and the soul in music."
The new improvising music comes to the old improvising music,
(...) mutually enriching each other. (...)
In 1988 a new theatre was founded in Kyzyl, the capital of
Tuva. It was created by VRESH MILOJAN - Armenian artist, poet,
musician and theatre director. (...) 1990 the musical group
BIOSINTER was born. (...) 1991 the touring life of BIOSINTES
begins. (...) In 1994 - besides sensational performances in
Petersburg and Moscow, BIOSINTES opened itself for Europe,
making a month long tour of Germany and Austria together with
fellow countrywoman SAINKHO NAMTCHYLAK, already well known
in the world of Improvised music. This tour ended with a performance
of Berlinīs TOTAL MUSIC MEETING Festival, the recording of
which is presented here.
1995-1996 the group has occasionally performed on Russian
festivals, and has once again changed its material and now
has again returned to the theatre, which in the last years
has moved to Moscow. The circle has closed. (...) |
