A duo of Denis Sorokin from Saint Petersburg and Shohin Kurbonov from Dushanbe will perform improvisational music based on the traditional Tajik genre "Falak" (sky, cosmos, fate, destiny) in a modern experimental style on guitar and doyra. They will use ancient metrical-rhythmic patterns and melodic-intonational formulas characteristic of Falak. The musicians incorporate elements of contemporary improvisational music into their sets, blending archaic and modern elements to create experimental interpretations, synthesizing the languages of distant cultures.
