Alan Kushan: santur
with guests

Alan Kushan studied composition in Zurich, Koln, and Berlin as well as Canada and the US with master musicians such as Sir Yehudi Menuhin, Karlheinz Stockhausen, among others. Unsatisfied with the range and capacity of his chosen musical instrument, Alan decided to apply his skills as an instrument-maker to expand the range of his santur by adding elements from the modern piano, the harp, and the guitar. The result is a unique and powerful instrument, which embodies the musical textures of the ancient and new.
