“On her latest album, Aralkum, avant-violinist and electronic composer Galya Bisengalieva reflects on what she terms 'one of the worst environmental disasters on the planet ' , the shrinking of the Aral Sea. Located between Uzbekistan and Bisengalieva’s native Kazakhstan, the Aral Sea was formerly the fourth largest lake in the world, but back in the 1960s the rivers that fed the lake were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects, causing the lake to shrink to 10 percent of its original size by 1997.”
