about
The Bulgarian musician, producer and fine artist Ivan Shopov (also known as Cooh / Balkansky) presented his music and art in Europe, South America, USA, Asia, Russia, Australia and New Zealand. Publishing his numerous projects for some of the biggest international music companies, his music reaches all over the world. His wide interest in the electronic music world leaded to different projects in the styles of techno, drum and bass, idm, jazz, ambient and classical music. What distinguishes him is his ability to mix traditional Bulgarian folklore with electronic music and jazz, which helped him create a bridge between the past and the present generations. Behind his back, there are three albums in collaboration with Theodosii Spassov and one album with the folk singers from Avigeia, which attracts the interest of the young and mature crowd. He is also a sought-after composer for contemporary dance and theatre productions, as well as composer and sound designer for short films and interactive installations. Ivan Shopov created the music for twelve performances by Derrida Dance, with one of them winning the IKAR award in 2017.
