My Music is an Amalgam of Celtic, Medieval, Baroque and Modern Influences - Dimo Mitchev

How and when did you start on your musical journey?
I was in school, when I bought my first guitar, because of a school scholarship. This was the beginning of my musical journey.

What kind of music do you like to make? How would you describe your music?
I like calm and relaxing music and of course this is the course of my inspiration for my own music. I think, that my music could be described as Celtic New Age Ambient.

Who is your musical inspiration?
I have few favorite musicians like Mike Oldfield, Loreena McKennitt, Enya, Kitaro and Jean Michel Jarre.

How do you distinguish yourself from others?
In my music, there are compositions from different ages – celtic, medieval, baroque and modern. I think that this approach forms a unique mixture of styles, and that makes my music special.

Tell us more about your album 'Bard's Fly' on Guitariti. What is the inspiration behind the album?
This is my debute album and most of the melodies inside correspond to some stories and emotions, some of it – very personal to me. The inspirations behind the album are ancient and mystic impulses, related to the Celtic history.

Do you write your own songs?
Yes, I do. I love to compose songs in many languages, like English, Bulgarian, French, Spanish, German and Irish Gaelic.

Which is your favourite song from your album? What is the story behind it?
One of the songs (Letter) is dedicated to one my ex-girl friend and it turns into my favourites ones. Like every special thing around it left sensitive remark in my heart.

Are you working on a new album?
Yes, I do! It is planed to be named “Dimension”, again focused in traveling over Celtic waves, but with more contemporary approaches and sound techniques.

What is a day like in the life of a musician?
I can describe this in a single sentence - there is a Bulgarian proverb, which says: “Who sings, does not do thing bad things”.
