Chabuka Amiranashvili - Abandoned Village / მიტოვებული სოფელი

'Abandoned Village' is a track from the album ‘Le Murmure De Duduk’ by the prolific Georgian musician and producer Chabuka Amiranashvili. His works express an immense richness of styles and moods, from piano ballads to majestic pathos, and intriguing vocal parts to ethno-percussions. It is difficult to file his music under a specific genre, it rather evokes plenty of diverse sceneries, like a sonic road trip. The richness of tones and sounds especially influences the album ‘Le Murmure De Duduk’ and makes it feel like an imaginary soundtrack for a non-existent movie.
"The duduk is one of my favorite instruments. It has a very sensitive sound and unique timbre that gives the illusion as if it runs through your veins and finally passes through the heart. Indeed, while listening to or creating music with the duduk’s phrases and vibrations, I have the feeling that this music follows the flow of my own blood. The duduk is an instrument with quite a small range, plus very gentle that makes it very difficult to perform on it. The duduk’s specific sound is not designed for all kinds of music; thus, it should be applied very carefully and wisely not to ruin its mystic. This album encircles the tracks that I have created especially with the duduk in mind, and I hope it can transmit to the audience the beats of this legendary instrument” - says the composer about his album.
In the video, there is presented special footage from Svaneti, namely village Ushguli - one of the highest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe. Svaneti a historic province in the north western part of Georgia. Running along the Greater Caucasus range, it is one of the most unique and characteristic regions of Georgia with peculiar cultural heritage, folklore, lifestyle and absolutely breath-taking nature. Being the highest inhabited area in the Caucasus it is an exceptional example of mountain scenery with medieval-type villages and tower-houses. Svaneti is surrounded by 3,000-5,000-meter peaks, and four of the 10 highest peaks of the Caucasus are located in the region. Iconic Mountains Shkhara (5,201 m) Tetnuldi (4,974 m) and Ushba (4,710 m), standing as inaccessible guardians of the province, played a key role in developing exclusive living culture that till today preserved its unique touch.
Svaneti’s architecture is a separate universe presented with its prominent Svan towers, which were used both as dwellings and as defence fortifications against the invaders who overwhelmed the region. The system of building Svan towers remains an unknown phenomenon and is surrounded by numerous myths and legends.
