Kokan Dimushevski
Short bio
Kokan Dimushevski born April 26,
1958 in Skopje – Macedonia, as he likes to refer to himself, be a Macedonian –
born pianist turned keyboardist. He is unique among synthesizer players in two
respects:
He uses
combinations of synthesizers to simulate a one-man orchestra, and he strives to
create original, electronically synthesized music that sounds acoustic. Since
1976 he has combined single-voice and a polyphonic (or multi voice)
synthesizers to wave a fabric of nearly orchestral richness. The context for Dimushevski
multi keyboards accomplishments has been LEB I SOL, a popular
fusion band that Dimushevski co founded in 1976 . He tries to stay away from
electronic sounds and go for natural sounds, instead. They don’t have to be
known natural sounds. In many recordings he made for example, the sound isn’t
one that’s known-you wouldn’t recognize it as anything else-but it is acoustic.
It sounds like some kind of native instrument.
He doesn’t start out on paper to write music. He composes by
improvising the melody and recorded. Then he will put it away of a few days
before he start to listening again. After hearing it a dozen times, he
improvises out an orchestration. If you’re going to orchestrate with eight-note
chords, each voice making its own melody.
His music is very specific-emotionally colored, from pianissimo (ppp) music parts-to strong, fast and
fortissimo (fff) expression dynamic
fields.
Dimushevski symphonic music readily embraces the tonal and even, according to
the needs of the work, the conventionally “beautiful”, he has no compunction
about shattering the beauty.
It’s result of
many years spent exploring a sound area.
Dimushevski
explain his sound-worlds music with a new name: Private Music.
