Сycle of improvisational percussion and vocal works by Zura Makharadze (feat. Kazimir Zimin)

"Dionysus' blood and sperm in our mouths", consisting of five improvisational compositions, the main instrument in which is percussion, sometimes accompanied by a voice. This cycle is my sound experiment devoted to the study of trance states and the Dionysian mysteries, refracted through the prism of individual mental shifts and the search for mirroring in oneself of what is commonly referred to as Dionysian not so much as a scientific term, as a set of associations and concepts closely intertwined with the topic of personal psychic state, psychic deformation, raising private questions of insanity, sex and death, which, however, are always transformed into global, universal character, thus becoming ontological quantities and in fact sometimes a short metaphor for the entire human life cycle.

Musical instruments used in the album: metal sheet, cymbals, splash, shaman drum, davul, daf, prepared tom, riqq, water, small wood and metal percussions
