In a very old interview, Eduard Artemyev, one of the pioneers of electronic music, says how Jugalbandi inspired his soundtrack of the sci-fi movie Stalker (1). I think it is the Stalker meditation theme, which distinctly has a Persian oud/tar like effect (2).

I didn't expect to see Artemiev mentioned here.
Great soviet composer and his "Meditation" is a very fitting
track for the movie. Amazing blend of electronic and eastern traditional music. I didn't watch the whole video, but I
don't think he mentioned Jugalbandi.
The musician he asked to play for this track used to play mugams according to Eduard's words, perhaps that's why they say it resembles a certain mugam: Bayat Shiraz

Edit: The use of this mugam by Artemiev is mentioned in the wikipedia page https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D0%B0%D1%8F%D1%82%D1%8B...

There is an interesting form of performance called Jugalbandi where different artists perform duet (mostly without rehearsal).
