ABOUT

Would like to collaborate and perform with World or acoustic instrument players. Interested in fusing rhythmic elements and melodies into a fun sonic mix that incorporates traditional musical instrument timbres and electronic sounds.

Think Traditional Folk - EDM Fusion Music.

Instruments played: diatonic accordion, keyboard accordion, vielle a rou (hurdy gurdy) , MidiGurdy (An electronic Hurdy Gurdy) , kaval (Bulgarian end blown flute), tambura (Bulgarian and Macedonian). I also play electric and acoustic bass.

Interested in incorporating these instruments in folk traditional music or a fusion of traditional dance music with EDM and traditional acoustic or roots music especially drone based music from Celtic diaspora, Scandanavian countries and the Balkans.
