The Art of the Santur - A Musical Performance by Alan Kushan | Part 1
The performance by Kushan is a modern version of the santur, an instrument that has ancient origins (about 1800 years) in Persia and has undergone many "transformations" and adaptations over time. What I believe is showcased in the video is his personal creation, as he has always built and restored many instruments from various musical cultures. What I find remarkable is Khusan's surgical technique and meticulous attention to sound production, which allow him to play, at times, almost like a small orchestra that blends elements of traditional Persian music with contemporary sounds.
