Fly, Fly My Sadness

'Fly, Fly My Sadness' stands as a pioneering work of cultural synthesis, weaving the Tuvan throat singing and traditional instrumentation of Huun-Huur-Tu with the distinctive, ethereal polyphony of The Bulgarian Voices »Angelite«. [1, 2, 5] The album's haunting soundscape is meticulously composed and arranged by pianist Mikhail Alperin, who, along with clarinetist and vocalist Sergey Starostin, integrates these disparate folk traditions into a cohesive and atmospheric whole. [3, 4, 11] Recorded live in studio, the project captures a remarkable interplay between Central Asian and Balkan musical forms, exploring themes of melancholy and spiritual connection through its unprecedented fusion of vocal techniques.
