Biography

I was born in 1985 in the holy blend,

in the days the electronic imperialism imposed his rage around the world,

while the progressive flow that dominated the previous decade- almost disappeared.

At the age of 7 I found 4 Beatles.

I started following them as they followed the sun.

As I kept on the track-

I left my garden, left the city, left my awareness.

I found myself climbing the rocky mountains of Queen, Metallica & Nirvana.

In a champagne supernova they disappeared.

   At the age of 12,

   it was suggested to me to start sailing the guitar,

   And I thought to myself:

   “I’m too old to start this kinda stuff…”

   At the age of 17 I decided that no one is too old to start anything.

   I always liked sharing the places I got to,

   so after “much experience”, at the age of 18 I started teaching.

Not long after, I was called for the flag.

I was recruited to press on buttons of a machine for 6 years.

I would sit down and press the buttons over and over again.

But my mind stayed off- every night I would sail for new searches.

I wanted to discover a new place.

Then I remembered what my father & Napoleon said:

“If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.”

Well, maybe I took it a little too hard-

I clung to experienced captains and learned.

I started sailing on different instruments- piano, contrabass, harmonica & bayan.

I started exploring different fields- composition, orchestration & sound engineering.

   In my journey-

   I ate the cracked nuts of Tchaikovsky and drank the playing water of Ravel.

   I dove into the deep ocean of Bach and drifted far away to Jobim & Piazzolla land.

   I climbed the maqam of Khalife and plunged the raga of Shankar.

   I entered Frank’s castle and visited Nick’s shed.

   I faced Pink’s trial and met the Crimson King.

   I moved for Miles until I got kind of blue,

   And then out of the note-

   I found my 4 Beatles again!

   Across the universe I traveled.

As the wind of thoughts flew me away,

right in front of me,

between the tonal side of the classical and the vocal side of modernization,

an unmanned island has revealed.

I immediately recruited violins, woodwinds & brass,

set the command to the piano,

armed them with notes,

And sent them for the conquest!

That way, I built my symphonic piece - Alina.

The story of my search between the interest, the pleasantness & the excitement

is written in My Unpolished Diamond.

And I go on, don’t know where.

Rationally, following emotion.
