One day when “homard” project, then completed, is showcased in a museum of some sort, we’ll put on serious faces to tell visitors various stories about the whole process, and all those stories are almost bound to start from the very beginning – a small white room in a house on Hovsep Arghutyan street, Arabkir district, Yerevan, Armenia. Those people will listen to our stories and go “Where did you say? Romania? Albania?” And in order to avoid having to pull even more serious faces to tell them about Armenia, we have asked @luciakagramanyan to collect the Armenian Music Anthology, as we were convinced she would be the best at it. Now, every time we want to tell somebody about Armenia, we can suggest that they listen to this mix, in which we have slowly and carefully collected a very small part of the great legacy we have inherited, trying to look at it through the prism of history.

"homard" project

Lucia Kagramanyan - "Armenian Music Anthology" for RAMBALKOSHE

Immerse yourself in the tranquil world of "Soothing Echoes of Duduk N1" – a serene, 9-minute ambient journey designed to usher you into a state of peaceful slumber. Crafted with the soulful and resonant tones of the acoustic duduk, an ancient Armenian woodwind instrument known for its deep, emotive sound, this track is a soothing balm for the restless mind and a lullaby for the weary soul.

As you listen, allow the gentle, flowing melodies of the duduk to envelop you in a cocoon of calm. Each note, tenderly played, echoes the ancient traditions of Armenia, yet resonates with a timeless quality that transcends borders and eras. This ambient piece is not just music; it's an auditory embrace, a sonic pathway to relaxation and rejuvenation.

Perfect for unwinding after a long day, meditation sessions, or as a gentle accompaniment to your nightly routine, "Soothing Echoes of Duduk N1" is more than a track – it's a musical meditation, an escape to a realm of tranquility and rest. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and let the soothing echoes of the duduk guide you to a place of serene repose.

Ideal for anyone seeking a moment of peace or a night of deep, restful sleep, this track is a testament to the timeless power of music to heal, comfort, and soothe the soul.

Listen, relax, and drift away to the Soothing Echoes of Duduk N1.
