Mokyo Octet is the main project of Paul N. Dorosh.  The compositions that spill from his brain combine composed music and improvisation.  Mokyo Octet originally started in 2006 as a solo project of Paul's combining oud, guitar, and electronics.  The group has recently expanded to a four piece unit adding to the mix Indian tabla, violin, and flute.  The overall sound of the group is something like a fabric woven from a mixture of threads from different worlds, ancient and new, eastern and western, salty and sweet, avian and piscine.
