One of the most famous Longas in the world of Arabic-oriental music is the Longa from the composer Riad Sumbati. Berlin Oriental Quartet decided to upgrade it with some samba rhythms and that's why now it's called Longa Sambati. 
The recording is from the live concert at the Werkstatt der Kulturen Berlin. 

Wassim Mukdad - Oud
Alexey Kochetkov - Violin
Or Rosenfeld - Contrabass
Peter Kuhnsch - Percussion

MIDAKuK is a weird word. It sounds intriguingly and somewhat freaky. It also stays for Musikalische Interface-Designs: Augmentierte Kreativität und Konnektivität (German for Musical Interface Designs: Augmented Creativity and Connectivity) and it's one of the research programs BMBF. Google it if curios. Anyway, those guys gave me a Novation Ciruit device which I spent some pleasant days and nights with, and here is the outcome.

I was born in Florence, where I later studied musicology and recorder. I then furthered my instrumental studies in Germany at the University of Music, Drama and Media in Hanover, where I obtained my Soloist’s Diploma. I moved to Berlin at the beginning of 2014.

I have been very involved with classical Turkish and Arab music for several years now, also studying their respective aesthetics and theories. I play both the Turkish and the Arabic Ney and regularly perform these instruments in various music and theatre projects (for example as soloist in the National Theatre Thuringia, in the NDR Radio Station in Hanover, in the Kulturforum in Frankfurt (Oder), etc.
My teachers of ney and modal music include Ross Daly, Ömer Erdogdular, Kudsi Erguner, whereas I studied the recorder and Early Music with David Bellugi, Federico Maria Sardelli and Ulrich Thieme.

In addition to working as a freelance musician, I teach Ney at the BTMK (Berlin Conservatoire of Turkish Music) and Recorder at SOS Berlin.

I am also involved in research and publishing. For instance, I issued the first edition of Concertos for Recorder by the Neapolitan composer Nicola Fiorenza (published by Girolamo).
