MODERN TECHNOLOGIES OF THE DOIRA INSTRUMENT: SYNTHESIS OF TRADITION AND INNOVATION

Abstract

 This article explores the technological transformation of the Doira, a traditional Uzbek percussion instrument, within the context of 21st-century globalization and digital innovation. The research, authored by Muzaffar Esanov, analyzes how modern engineering methods—such as vacuum drying, thermal modification, and laser cutting—enhance the acoustic resonance and structural stability of the instrument. Furthermore, the study substantiates the integration of piezoelectric sensors, MIDI controllers, and Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) into traditional performance practices. By examining the synthesis of natural and synthetic materials, the paper argues that technological advancements do not diminish the "live spirit" of the Doira but rather serve as a modern acoustic bridge to global musical culture. The concept of a "Digital Passport" is proposed as a future standard for the scientific classification of national instruments.
