About

Music for a Palaeolithic bone flute, possibly the world’s oldest known musical instrument, found at the archaeological site Divje Babe in Slovenia. The score was commissioned by the Orchestra Network for Europe and written for Ljuben Dimkaroski, a performer on the ancient flute dating back ca. 60,000 years, from which replicas he subsequently named “tidldibab”. The flute part is accompanied by orchestral strings and percussion. Baba was first recorded in March 2016 and had live performances on concert stages in several European cities between 2017 and 2018.
