“Can we let our shadows float away?” asks the poet in this song about the pains of transformation. This is the poignant finale of @desperatedaughters’ song Mirror, performed at the Cinema House in Sofia on 27 May. Full version on my YouTube channel for all the desperate fans out there 🖤 Thanks to @lampacollective for hosting us, @nikulgeorgiev for the video and @filliger_choliks for the visuals! 🖤

A little improv from the world live premiere of my tune Fear and Hope in Slotervaart at @schroedinger.bar a couple of weeks ago. I must say @alexlogozarov (guitar), @nikisaxx (double bass) and Bobby Petrov (drums) did an absolutely stellar job ripping it apart! 🤩💥💥💥 Full version coming soon and already online on my YouTube channel. Big thanks to @pourprelavande for capturing this moment! 🙏🏻 #originalmusic #originalsong #jazzoriginal #livejazz #drumandbass #oddmeters #trumpetplayer #trumpetlife #flugelhorn #flugelhornsolo #trumpetsolo #jazzimprovisation #musicpremiere #inspiration #creativespirit #urbanvibes

“You can face your fears” - I did some trumpet

“You can face your fears” - I did some trumpet meditations to this mantra while getting ready for the Analogue Girls album release tour in Bulgaria with @desperatedaughters.
The album is coming out on the 21st and we’re going to celebrate this properly with a concert at @toplocentrala in Sofia.
We put a lot of love, feeling and thought into this work, and to put the cherry on top we had it mixed and mastered by the one and only @ivanshopov_cooh! So stoked to finally be at the threshold of bringing this baby out into the world! 🖤🖤🖤

Here are some exquisite shots by @gera.en from the show we did with @desperatedaughters at @radar_festival this summer.
The atmosphere between the ancient artefacts at the archeological museum in Varna was electrifying! The stunning visuals by @filliger_choliks were serendipitously projected over the entire museum’s building, adding to the magic of this unforgettable evening. Big thanks to the @radar_festival team and the warm audience for their support! 🖤🎶 #alternativemusic #indiemusicians #darkcabaret #femalemusicians #liveelectronicmusic #abletonlive #trumpetplayer
