Music for Ney and Piano

 

 All of you (duet for piano and ney) is in its core an improvisation. Most of the pieces have been performed and recorded only once with no edits or retakes and only some use the technique of multilayer recording to achieve the desired effect. Sonorities heard are all of acoustic nature performed by the musicians and generated on their instruments
