The Monographs of the Traditional Carpathian Musical Instruments
By Marek Styczyński
Volume 1 : CD with 29 samples & booklet with 2 maps and 28 photos

The art of making traditional musical instruments is a peculiar one as the main goal of its outcome is to keep the tradition of making music alive. The instruments, in addition to their role of sustainig the non-material culture making, are also material representations of the aesthetics and technical development of the cultures they were born in (or assimilated into) and they can be regarded as the key to understaning unrecorded, archaic sounds and musical tchniques. The lack of musical notation, typical of traditional forms, is sometimes substituted for by, more or less, free interpretation of the overheard musical techniques and translating them into the language of the Western 12-tone scale with many contemporary musicians craving for simplified musical forms characterised by loudness, clear-cut rhythm and danceability. It is widely assumed that such forms are typical of non-European cultures. However, it has to be stressed that many European cultures are still marked as UNFAMILIAR, they are marginalised and they function outside the European cultural mainstream. The marginalisation of traditional cultures is often rooted in politics…(more on www.cybertotem.eu or CD booklet).
/…/ In the descriptions of the instruments presented on this CD we have included the information reflecting the problems and phenomena signalled in the previous sections. The instruments are played by contemporary musicians : Józef Broda (PL), Ostap Kostiuk (UA), Vsevolod Sadik (UA), Michal Smetanka (SK), Marek Styczyński (PL), Gerard Widmer (CH) - whose activities surpass the borders of their native regions. Their approach, on some occasions, could be described as rather individualistic. The descriptions are expanded upon and documented in the phonographic and photographic forms on the project author’s blog.

This project supports informal ties existing among the musicians and traditional instruments enthusiasts, thanks to whom musical traditions are preserved outside the mainstream, which contributes to the continuity and diversity of culture.
Enjoy the unique sound of the Carpathians!
