About Me
Born in 1982 in Burgas (Bulgaria), he is the winner of several awards
and acclaims.He produced electronic music. For the French outfit
Mad’House he recorded several singles and published numerous other
artists’ remixes (including “Like a prayer” by Madonna and “Stayin’
Alive” by the Bee Gees). Atanas took part in several collaborations,
including live PA’s with Bambim Mukendi (Mad’House) and spent the
better part of the decade touring and playing concerts at festivals and
clubs in France, Belgium and Poland. His work was also remixed by
drum and bass legend Ray Keith. He also played live with many icons of
the polish pop and electronic music scene: Novika, Beats Friendly and
Reni Jusis. The collaboration with Reni Jusis on the “Magnes” album
was awarded a Fryderyk Prize - the Polish Phonographic Industry
Award. His musical inspirations root from Balkan and Gypsy music, but
are enriched by Slavic melodies and jazz influences. Atanas composes
and produces film scores. In 2009 he travelled to Los Angeles on the
invitation of Dolby Labs and was treated to a VIP tour of the main
scoring stages and music studios in Hollywood. This inside look into the
newest trends and technologies used in film music production today
makes this artist an expert of his craft. He is inspired by the art of
improvisation and this is best exemplified by “Improssessions” – his own
live PA project or Transoriental Duo together with Persian artist Jahiar-
Azim Irani. Apart from these artistic initiatives, Atanas produces
commercial materials for TV and radio ad campaigns, e.g. scoring the
entire wp.tv channel, writing the score for the VW Scirocco – “Hard to
Resist” ad which was performed by the world famous Babelsberg
Orchestra. Atanas Valkov’s music represents a melting pot of Balkan
folklore, Polish classical traditions with the novelty of contemporary and
electronic music. He expresses his artistic uniqueness, by combining
his own style with a mixture of contemporary orchestral arrangements
and the expert level of knowledge in music production he has acquired.
