Ivan Georgiev(II)

To see the world and the people in sounds and music notes, this is a little mad for a child. Until I saw Kubrick's "2001: a Space Odyssey". Film music?! Just before I turned 19, I started touring worldwide with Tuxedomoon. Whenever we wouldn't be on the road, I wrote music on an old piano I bought on a flee-market and pursued my studies in harmony and chamber music. The link with cinema was there already : Wim Wenders chose one of Tuxedomoon's songs for the soundtrack of his "Wings of Desire". Truth is, I wrote my first track for film back in 1985, "St Gilles Mon Biotope" a short directed by Anita Beni, assisted by better known Boris Lehman. A work for cello, tenor sax, violin and some keys : thanks to John Lurie's soundtrack for "Stranger than Paradise" (dir. Jim Jarmusch), I though "I can do this!". In 1997, the success of "Gabriel's Dream" (aka "Le Rêve de Gabriel", directed by A. Levy-Morelle) launched my career : awarded "André Cavens' best Belgian film of the year", it opened many doors for me to meet film directors, in Belgium, France, Holland, Switzerland or Germany.

To cut the story short... after a couple of years writing songs & performing on stage as a singer (Ewan, "Back On The Roads Of Time" 2017, Freaksville Records), I'm starting the year 2021 with an exiting new release: "21 Shards of Diamond", a cinematic chamber music score for 2 pianos, 16 strings, percussion and a singer (Ewan).

Today, contacts and rep in LA seem like a great "opening night" on the West Cost. The past was been a great ride. The future is now. Enjoy!
