"While producing this record we followed the method applied to our previous "Altai-Saian-Baikal project". During our journeys between 2017 and 2019 some related people of Magyars (Hungarians) and the Kumans (Polovets) while crossing the region from Northwest to Southeast, from Southern Ural vial Aral Lake and Turan Plain to the Northern part of Tien-shan Mountains. One of the objectives of our journey was to give an introduction to the musical culture of the local peoples (such as Bashkir, Karakalpak, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, and Russian Old Believers). This project was named "Turan Road Music" and while composing and choosing the music material we preferred performances with cultural functions, personal reasons, and no intention for the stage."
