As the voices of generations of my ancestors move into future-like sounds I raise a question of the endless cyclic character of the destiny of humankind.” ‘Where do we belong?’ - Hybrid Identities …These mixed identities that form my Ancestral Code - an issue in a form of a question ‘Where do we belong?’, that is deeply rooted and specific to the region covering central Europe and the Balkans motivated me to step out of my comfort zone as a violinist and create a composition together with Akim Moiseenkov. It is a multi-dimensional experience which I prefer to call Story in Sound. Although my primary tool is sound and the tools are derived from the sounds of the violin and the recorded voices (of my great-great great-grandmother, my mother and my voice both acoustic and in use of the sound-effect using a contact microphone on my neck), I think of this work as conceptual art-form. The use of my body is both as a violin player a singer and also as a stage performing presence.
