2025

Such a nice Valentine's day\ Tu bi-Shvat gift I received from Anana Kaye and Irakli Gabriel! Some time ago I recorded a duduk part for their song "Love is". Yesterday the song was released accompanied by a beautiful nostalgic music video filmed in Tbilisi.

My duduk sings in the beautiful love song of the talented Kurdish artist Tara Mamedova, masterfully arranged and produced by Vellua (Haval and Joe Haco).

May. I recorded duduk for this beautiful soundtrack to the video game "Wildmender" composed by Andres Soto.

July. Great news! The new release of the beloved Putumayo World Music features the track "Gyumri" by the talented Armenian-Lebanese artist C-rouge. I recorded duduk for this song. Click the cover pic!

October

The new album of US-based prog-rock band "Infinitome" is out! "The highlight of this suite for me is the melancholic Armenian duduk played by Ilia Mazia in 3rd Movement. A very successful resting point in all that prog violence." (Jos Driessen, Progwereld)

June.

Recorded duduk for ТРАГА TRACE project of the multi-talented musician of Macedonian origin Klime Kovaceski. In 80s he played guitar in the exciting Yugoslavian rock bands blending post punk, Balkan folk and Orthodox church singing. Today he is not only making great music but he is also the chef and the owner of one of the "100 best restaurants in America".

May.

The new album of Italian trio "Fuera" (EDM- new wave-hiphop-...) released, I participated recording duduk for two songs - Acqua & Mezzaluna.

One more international collaboration. This time I recorded duduks for Leaf Yeh, the young singer from Taiwan whose voice reminds me sometimes of Kate Bush. The song called 愛咿 ("Aye") which means "Love". English is mixed here with Chinese, traditional - with modern, and dialog of cello and duduk is exceptional. :-)
