on sabbatical

hi all. i have ended up taking an unplanned sabbatical,

and will be back soon!

The books "Ivan Alekseev: the world of homusa is open to every person" and "Master vargana - the magical sound of the creator" | "Иван Алексеев: "Мир хомуса открыт каждому человеку" & "Мастера варгана – волшебного звука творцы"

Книга "Иван Алексеев: "Мир хомуса открыт каждому человеку"
"Ivan Alekseev: the world of homusa is open to every person"

Книга "Иван Алексеев: "Мир хомуса открыт каждому человеку", с 12-ю карточками - фотографиями изданий проекта "Мастера варгана - волшебного звука творцы" отправляются в Музей и Центр Хомусов народов Мира (г.Якутск) (IL Khomus) к его Президенту и основателю, хомусисту - виртуозу мира Ивану Егоровичу Алексееву. К сожалению типография перед Новым Годом немного подвела и подарок видимо приедет уже в новом году. 

The book " Ivan Alekseev: " the world of homusa is open to every person ", with 12 cards - photos of the editions of the project " Masters of vargana - the magical sound of the creators " are sent to the museum and the centre of the Yakutsk) (Il Khomus) to his president and founder, homusistu - virtuozu of the world Ivan Yegorovich Alexeyev. Unfortunately printing before the new year is a little failed and the gift is apparently coming in the new year.

Мастера варгана – волшебного звука творцы
"Master vargana - the magical sound of the creator"

Очередной тематический сборник, - издание проекта «Мастера варгана – волшебного звука творцы» представляет собой подборку статей по теме археологических варганов.
В сборнике собраны как полные тексты статей, так и выдержки из более крупных публикаций, посвященные обнаружению варганов в ходе археологических исследований. Речь в материалах сборника преимущественно идет о находках на территории бывшего Советского Союза (Прикамье и Поволжье, Центральная Россия, Алтай, Украина, Узбекистан, Приморье) и лишь одна известная статья японского исследователя посвящена японским варганам.
Это первый опыт подобного рода издания, в котором осуществлена попытка собрать под одной обложкой наиболее значимые русско-язычные публикации (лишь одна статья – О.Пашковского об украинских дрымбах публикуется в переводе с украинского языка) по теме археологических варганов.
Презентационный ролик, а также фрагмент издания в формате pdf доступный для просмотра и скачивания размещены на официальной странице издания: http://виктор-белов.рф/археологические-варганы-сборник-ста/

Another theme compilation - the edition of the project "Master vargana - the magical sound of the creator" is a compilation of articles on the subject of archaeological varganov.
The Collection is collected both full texts of articles and extracts from larger publications dedicated to the detection of varganov in archaeological studies. The content of the compilation is mainly about the find in the territory of the former Soviet Union (Prikamʹe and volga, central Russia, Altai, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, primorje) and only one famous article of the Japanese Explorer is dedicated to Japanese varganam.
This is the first experience of this kind of edition, which has attempted to collect under one cover the most meaningful Russian-language publications (only one article - o. Paškovskogo about Ukrainian drymbah is published in translation from Ukrainian language) on the subject of archaeological varganov.
The presentation video, as well as a fragment of the edition in PDF format available to view and download is posted on the official page of the edition, here.

Burtsev: dynasty of masters of the Yakut khomus. Collection of articles, album of photos.

Книга, которую мы сейчас презентуем, первая в ряде книг, речь в которых идет именно о мастерах варгана, то-есть посвящена именно той тематике, изначально ставшей объектом нашего исследования и даже вынесена в название проекта. 
Думаю, не стоит пояснять, почему именно мастера якутского хомуса Николай Петрович и Николай Николаевич Бурцевы (Николай Бурцев) стали героями первого издания подобного рода. Для кого же этот вопрос требует разъяснения (да и для всех остальных) – все подробности об издании, презентационный видеоролик, а также фрагмент издания с вводными материалами, фрагментами статей, фотографиями и содержанием, доступный для просмотра и скачивания в формате pdf – размещены на постоянной странице издания на моем сайте.

Виктор Белов-Щусь posts (on Facebook): 
The book we are now present, the first in a number of books, which is about the masters of vargana, is dedicated to exactly the subject that has originally been the subject of our study and even put in the name of the project.

I guess not to explain why it was the masters of yakutsk homusa Nikolai Petrovich and Nikolai Nikolayevich Burcevy (Николай Burcev) became the heroes of the first edition of this kind. For whom the question requires clarification (yes and for everyone else) - all details about the edition, presentation video, as well as a fragment of the edition with input materials, fragments of articles, photos and content available to view and download in PDF format - posted on permanent Page Edition on the website, here.

…Recently, in some publications, one has to meet the opinion that Russia is experiencing today a kind of “boom of the varganostroyeniya”, that everyone who is not too lazy, etc., is engaged in the production of harps. etc. Perhaps this is partly the trend, and there is a place to be, but in our opinion only partly. It is difficult to argue with the fact that among the masters - the Vargano-creators, occasional people do sometimes come across. If the latter are not taken into account, then the masters can be divided into:

- those who do it in pleasure, from time to time, and do not strive to make money on it;

- those who deal with this professionally as the main craft and make consistently good tools and

- those who treat this type of craft as a creative work, and from whose hands come out piece, exclusive products.

However, there is another category of vargan masters (khomus), which combines the best features of the above with the addition of its unique qualities. These are the masters whose merits make it possible to inscribe their names in the History. The history of world harpscreation. These masters, of course, include the dynasty of masters - manufacturers of the Yakut khomus - father and son Nikolai Petrovich and Nikolai Nikolaevich Burtsevs. Therefore, it is not by chance that these wonderful masters became the heroes of the first collection of the project “The Masters of the Vargan - the Magic Sound of Creators,” dedicated to the masters of the vargan, and not around all sorts of questions of the vargan theme…

Новый хомус Егора Тартакова (Сунтарский улус, Якутия).
Очень сочный, высокий звук. То, что я давно искал. При этом язычок инструмента лёгкий, не капризный.
Рекомендую)*
My new khomus made by Egor Tartakov. Very racy and high sound

* (google translate): New khomus of Egor Tartakova (Suntarsky Ulus, Yakutia).
Very juicy, high sound. What I have been looking for. At the same time the tongue of the tool is light, not capricious.
