The project of free improvisers operating in a dimension beyond style or genre, creating “momentary” music that is truly honest and direct. The musicians strive to be free from their musical background and unite through the common language that reflects the way they perceive the world and the universe beyond. Their music is a spatial transporter to other worlds and parallel realities where sound becomes visible. Free from expectations, the musicians unite through the common language reflecting the way they perceive. Their performances are best descibed as spontaneous sonic sculptures.
Rossen Zahariev starts to play piano at 7 and trumpet when he is 10. After graduating from the Sofia School of Music in 1990, he is admitted at the Bulgarian State Conservatory, and two years later he moves to the Rotterdam Conservatory, studying jazz performance with Bob Brookmeyer. From 1995 to 1988 he lives in Boston, attending the Berklee College of Music. He has constantly played with Bob Moses’ band and featured in his last album Nishoma (with Abbey Lincoln, Steve Kuhn, Chris Wood, Jaqcues Schwarz-Bart). At present he is living in Sofia where he plays an instrumental role in building a scene for improvising groups, working with musicians, dancers and actors experimenting with free improvisational techniques.
Hristina Beleva is a Bulgarian musician, artist, performer of the traditional instrument gadulka- invariably accompanying the Bulgarian folklore traditions from ancient times. Hristina’s playing is delicate, sensual, deep. She collaborates with musicians from all over the world. When she plays, she strives to preserve the folklore traditions of Bulgaria and the Balkans. She easily paves the way for the gadulka in other genres in music. When Hristina talks about the gadulka, you will hear one thing: “This is a world instrument and it sounds beautiful!”
