Composer Alexandra Maslovskaya describes the paradise birds: "Sirin and Alconost are dual, and their wise voices tell of something most important. One is infinitely longing, the other is full of unearthly joy. Perhaps this duality lives in every human soul... Sirin and Alconost are in each of us - these voices everyone can hear in themselves. And they are undoubtedly struggling with each other - I mean, in our souls. Dark, predatory, poisoned by its own pain Sirin. And the Alconost, which gives light and comfort, reminding us of happiness and of the heavenly joy revealed in this world... And the Gamayun is the bird that reveals the future to a person. It prophets, guides, inspires on the further way. It allows to feel the deep meaning of life and happiness of comprehension, reminds about the boundlessness and diversity of the universe, about the mystery and beauty of the universe..."
