Info :
This is an unofficial album featuring archival recordings that served as the foundation for Sefitse, the latest release by Jrpjej.
Here, you will find materials from different years sourced from ethnographic archives. Included are field recordings by folklorists as well as several professionally crafted studio recordings.
These archives are not publicly accessible, making them unavailable to the general audience. However, for many years, gigabytes of songs and interviews created by Zaramuk Kardanguyev, Zaur Naloev, Adam Gutov, and others have been circulating on hard drives and cloud storage. These recordings appear to be digitized tapes originating from various humanities research institutes.
Since all of this is informally shared among individuals without a structured system, it can be challenging to ascertain the folklorist, performer, location, or year of the recordings.
Currently, we are not specifically addressing those questions. Our intention is to release this bootleg to allow listeners to compare the original recordings with Jrpjej's reinterpretation.
Furthermore, these recordings possess inherent value. Despite imperfections in the recordings and digitization process, we can still appreciate the beauty of the songs through the tape hiss and digital artifacts.
We would like to emphasize that this album should not be regarded as part of our official discography. The songs will only be available on Bandcamp for free downloading and streaming. Nevertheless, by acquiring this release, you are supporting our work.

"Quedzoque Tole Tsık’u (Altıdoquehe Dolet tsık’u yi wored) 09:06" becomes exceedingly beautiful in the second half.
