Artist History I was born november 4th 1982 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, where I live untill now. When I was seven years old, my parents signed me up for the piano classes, and soon after I got my first keyboard. I am learning keyboard\piano basics, and I play some classic music. However, I had no interest in playing ALREADY MADE compositions, so I am decided to quit going to piano lessons. Eight years later, in 1997, my friend gave me Mike Oldfield cd - FIVE MILES OUT. At that time, I was listening rap and metal music. Therefore I decided to give it a shot and try out something new. I listened Five miles out for few times...and this album changed my music taste . I can freely say that this particular album changed my whole life, my points of view, and my understanding of music. After listening to Oldfield's album, I understood that music is my "curse"....it was time for me to take my keyboard's back... After this , for the first time in my life, I was thinking serious about making music. Therefore, I'm setting up small a home studio, with very limited performances and abilities, and forming band. The band was pop\rock oriented, but because of misunderstandings in crew, I am decided to quit. Shortly after my leave, band stops to exists. In a meantime, I am spending hours, days and months in improving my technique on keyboards. I am improving my composer skills and knowing record process on computer. I also decided that INSTRUMENTAL music is my choise, my life. All I had was midi keyboard, sblive audio card, many soundfonts that I found on internet, and rare soundfonts cd's that I could buy here. But,I made all compositions with these things, and compositions are very complex. I gave some people a chance to listen to it and they said that there is no such category that this music can be categorized in. But, in my opinion, that is not important...that's MUSIC. In a meanwhile, I am composing music for one of the theathres in Belgrade, and I made one commercial song for Montenegro singer Sara Vujosevich. This song is still running on Montenegro tv and radio. I bought a good keyboard, and right now I am learning about recording and processing audio signal. So here it is, first part that I rearanged with new keyboard-SHAWNY. It is "simple" for now, but it is first thing that comes from this new gear. I also formed a band with vocal solist Jadranko Dejanovich. Right now I am interested in making modern opera, because of the great vocal potential of this singer,and of course,I am very interested in FILM MUSIC. Unfortynately, local record labels are not interested in instrumental\experimental projects, so for now, I cannot do lot here... I think that my compositions are unique, because no one except Mike Oldfield never played instruments this way. Music is my life, I live for music, and I cannot express my feelings at any other way. But...it's on you, listeners, to judge my music. Your opinion is only one that counts! Best regards Mirko Shukovicc
