And now, more of the same from a slightly different angle:

I was born in Bulgaria’s hottest city, yet the more time passes, the more I am struck by the coldness of so-called reality or society. The only logical reaction to this for me was my love for the arts, especially my strong attraction to music and literature. As far as the latter is concerned, I have been and to this day remain a voracious reader (for now!?), while early on I was consumed by the strong desire not only to listen to and talk about music all day, but also to play music. Thus, after a certain period of time (during which I understood from rock aesthetics that the internal need for music is more important than an academic education) I decided to take up bass (the most interesting instrument in a rock band, right?) and played in various local punk bands.
After a fair number of parties and a smaller number of gigs, I moved to Sofia (with the goal of completing my education), where my bass would have been abandoned to “one hundred years of solitude” had I not met Ivan Hristov and had my interest in experimentation not led me to Gologan in the summer of 2006.
That’s all for now!
