Ein Stück das nicht nur spannende Möglichkeiten eines neuen Fujara-Ensemblespieles aufzeigt, sondern auch in seiner Gesamtkonzeption sehr gelungen ist.

Welcome to the world of fujara! ;-)

Ohh, woooow. This is beautiful! So, different from the ususal and known implications of fujara playing. Just stumbled across this video right now and I'm mesmerized. Thank's for sharing. Cheers 🖖

You are welcome! Tell everyone about it :-) - I am working on more pieces like this...

[@armenvondoms1815]

Well.....THAT was really, really awesome! The fujara has such a wonderful sound and how you played it is truly unique.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Hey Marco vom Feinsten was Du da presentiertst! Alle Daumen hoch. Wünsch aus diesem Weg: Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein obertonreiches 2014. Roderick

[@ssuuddoo]

super ste. :) ďakujem

[@jankotrnovsky]

Marco, Excellent. I would call it "fujara jazz". I have been advocating this kind of play (variation on a folk song theme) using fujara. You have done it nicely. I wish you such a good inspiration in the future too.

[@martynez1111]

I'm trying to learn playing this wood... This song is just Amazing! 👌 Make more stuff like this guys!

[@horohue]

Wow love this track super sound

Thank you! Feel free to share it!

Lyrics+translation for those who are interested. The song is about feelings of a punished prisoner. Traditional version: 1) Hoj, koť ma šikovali od pána richtára, hoj, lievali mi drábi vínko do pohára. 2) Nelejte, nelejte, vypite si sami, veď ste ma napojili horkými slzami. 3) Horkými slzami, horkými ako blen, veď ešte raz aj na vás príde ten súdny deň. 4) Vy ste ma napojili horkými slzami, veď milá ma napojí sladkými bozkami. Translated: 1) When I was escorted from mayor, wardens filled a cup of wine for me. 2) Don’t fill the cup, drink it alone, you have just fed me by my own bitter tears. 3) Bitter tears, such bitter as henbane, there will come once the judgement day even for you. 4) You have fed me by bitter tears, but my beloved girl will feed me by sweet kisses. Notes: - Marco’s improvisation does not fit exactly into lyrics, but this is common mismatch when solo fujara play is alternating with signing. This makes the song even more beautiful and adds personality of the interpreter in that version. - Very puristic multitrack of the same instrument. To me it sounds exceptional in term of both musical innovation with fujara and technical excellence. - The word “koť” points to origin in Kokava. The song is also interpreted by “Fujaristi z Kokavy”. - I like the video, it seems to match the voices used at particular moments of the song. - The original mixolydian melody is still present there, some traditionalists will definitely like it (me too). - The cuckoo at 1:56 is an awesome idea! Brilliant! There exist several slovak songs mentioning that bird.

[@tonfinder]

Thank you for your kind words. It's nice to hear that the fujara is known in many countries around the world now and it is wonderful, that she is liked and played by more and more people. Only the best for you on your way with the Fujara! Marco

Fantastic. Thanks.

+Scott Wallace maybe this could be interesting for you, too - especially the soundtrack, I mean. kind regards, Marco

[@therealzilch]

This ties in with what I am doing with my double harp, in a way: I'm experimenting with harmonic tunings, which of course are what the fujara plays. There's something special about these intervals. Thanks again for the inspiration.

[@tonfinder]

You are welcome! "double harp"! - great! kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3PPinSuidqNeLs - you saw this already? Maybe I forgot to add the link in my last answer...

[@therealzilch]

tonfinder No, I hadn't seen this yet. Looks like fun. I'm going to have to build me a fujara, it looks like. cheers from warm Vienna, Scott

Would you mind if I used this in my video? This summer we walked across Podpoľana, the home of this instrument and I think it would really fit the scene. I won't forget to give you credit.

[@tonfinder]

Hi, that sounds like a good idea. Send me in a few sentences the idea of your film and a link to a rough cut when it's ready. It is already important to me that my music, if I already provide it for free, does not harm the idea of the idea of Fujara and Slovak music tradition. For this I ask for understanding, look forward to a response and then decide. Contact: www.tonfinder.de

[@downforatrip6187]

@@tonfinder Hi, I'm having trouble contacting you through your website. Could you write me an email? It's in my "about" tab on my channel. Thank you very much.

[@radovanbakos880]

Marco, beautiful piece of music! I'm sure, this version wouldn't hurt feelings of traditional fujarist. I've met Mr. Smutny 3 years ago in Cicmany, he is great man. Just for my curiosity, do you know lyrics of that song? I can drop it here and translate it for you.

[@tonfinder]

Radovan, thank you very much! All my compositions and improvisations are based in deep gratitude and joy for having encountered the fujara. The instrument, the instrument makers, the culture, the songs, the landscape, the people, the language etc.. - all this belongs together in a certain way. I am a musician, but I am not a Slovakian. I play fujara, but I try not to play shepherd. My life is completely different from that of the people who invented these wonderful traditional songs and played them for generations, so I tell my "stories" and often without words, only with the means of music. Of course, my musical socialization, which includes various musical studies and training, flows into my artistic work with the fujara. For me, this is the most honest and respectful way of dealing with the fujara that I can imagine. Yes, I know the text (Do not fill my cup again). If you like, feel free to share the text here, that would make me happy and maybe others will like it too!

[@radovanbakos880]

@@tonfinder Marco, I like what you are doing, also on other videos. You have extraordinary good breathing technic and musical invention. As a Slovak, I have found one aspect which is linked to understanding Slovak traditional folk songs. The texts are often about love and death and are linked to nature. Quite often is there present a reflexion of some pain or suffering, as that can be an emotional factor for authors to write a song which is remembered over generations. When I go hiking, I use to take a wind instrument with me, if not collapsible fujara then lighter koncovka or 6-hole flute. Those sounds are extinct from places where it was normal for them to be heard. People like it. You know, hiking is also kind of discomfort. This brings me closer to what my ancestors might feel.

[@tonfinder]

​@@radovanbakos880 Thank you very much for these appreciative words. I feel very touched by them.

Lieber Marco Trochelmann, was für eine wunderschöne Darbietung - dieses Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Flöten. Sooooo inspirierend... Vielen Dank für diese und auch Ihre anderen Veröffentlichungen auf YT! Ich habe mir, dermaßen angetan von den tollen Videos auf YT erst kürzlich eine Velka Koncovka, also eine Fujara ohne die 3 Fingerlöcher unten gebaut: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4nRnaCFf551f8k Ich hoffe, eines Tages deutlich besser spielen zu können. Veranstalten Sie wieder so einen - oder einen ähnlichen Workshop, an dem evtl. ein Anfänger wie ich auch mitmachen könnte? Gibt es dazu irgendwo Infos? Schönen Gruß aus Süddeutschland - Norbert

[@tonfinder]

Lieber Norbert, der nächste Workshop findet am 25. und 26. Juli statt. Anmeldungsmöglichkeit und weitere Infos findest du auf meiner tonfinder-Website, die diesbezüglich allerdings erst in den kommenden Tagen aktualisiert wird. Vielleicht sehen wir uns dann live und in Farbe - würde mich sehr freuen! Alles Gute!
