*85 copies limited edition* Rooted deeply in traditional Sakha music Aldana Duoraan creates a meditational state of mind using an instrument called “khomus” and her voice. The second album of Prague based musician born in Sakha republic is a two-sided EP called “sɯrdɯk / qaraŋa” which means “lightness / darkness”. The name is inspired by the duality of the universe, light and dark sides of a person, ever changing reality.

The name of the album is written in the first Sakha alphabet created by Sakha linguist S. Novgorodov in 1917. The alphabet based on an international phonetic alphabet was used in the years 1920 - 1929 and then later replaced by Cyrillic alphabet. Lately the Novgorodov’s alphabet has been used as a memory of a different reality of Sakha people and their culture.
