About Me

The group is considering a particular area of the music art where the ideas are result of the modern urban living, under strong influence of the traditional music treasure. Usage of folk rhythms, melodies and motives as a background for building the music, instead of copping and rearranging them, make the whole music unique.
This allows more freedom in expression and permits influences of many other music forms as well as their mix, preserving in the same time the strong Macedonian character. Instruments from relatively modern origin, (Trombone, Saxophone, Trumpet, Bass guitar, Percussions and Synthesizer, Piano) gives the music a specific, unique spirit.
The group issued four albums:
"Seth Makes Sense" (1993);
"Within Yourself" (1996);
"Sethstat" (2000);
"Rolling Garage" (2004).
Sethstat had remarkable performances in almost all Macedonian clubs and concert halls and abroad: Budapest, Belgrade, Zagreb, Sarajevo etc. They have established collaboration with many respectable organizations like Skopje Jazz Festival, Bagi Records, Radio Jazz FM, 20th Century Music Festival - Synthesis, European Youth Music Festival, Belgrade Summer, Zagreb Jazz Festival, Sarajevo Jazz Festival etc.

Band Members:

Guided from a need to create a new music, three students of (music, electro technical and machine science), in 1990 created a bend.

Under a strong influence of traditional way of living, but in the same time living an urban life, music that they create was nothing lake they heard till than. Not long after the three students created this band (Vladan Drobicki, Dorian Jovanovic and Vasko Bojadziski) they had two more musicians Aleksandar Gumbevski and Mihail Parushev.

The band was called "SETH" after the Egyptian god-warier, protector of Amon Ra. They work very hard and in 1993 they published the first album in the new publishing house at that time "BAGI Records".

In this period SETH is performing in every stage in Macedonia , in these circumstances they get a very good reputation and very wide musical experience That musical experience was a path for creating new materials which were recorded and published in a record time and with no trouble at all. Than in 1995 the band is richer with three more musicians Kliment Angelovski, Gjole Maksimovski and Dino Milosavljevic.

In 1996 the new album "Within Yourself" is published for "SJF Records". SETH is performing outside Macedonia , in a small tour in Balkan countries. The latest album is getting very good critics wherever it was performed. In the next mounts SETH is working on the new material for the third official album. They rent a studio and work there for a year. The result was undefined, they were not sure that this is the right material for the album. At the same time the recording from the Kumanovo Jazz Festival was the right one and it was published as an official third album "SETHSTAT" in 2000 from "SJF Records". In this album for the first time Pance Bujukliev is appearing.

The next period is very stressful for the whole region. An armed conflict started in Macedonia . The band didn't stop working and the members of SETH take part in a Global association for musicians without borders. They performed in places which were a center of the conflict (Tetovo,Gostivar, Kumanovo). They also performed in festivals which for a main goal have peace (No Borders, Peace Unlimited Festival etc) In preparations for the next album ("Rolling Garage" 2004, SJF Records), beside the current group members, Lazar Darkovski –was also performing on drums. Today the sextet is performing by the name" SETHSTAT" and the members are:

• Vladan Drobicki - trombone
• Vasko Bojadziski - tenor, alto saxophone
• Aleksandar Nikolovski - trumpet
• Panche Bujukliev - synthesizer, piano, blues harp
• Pavel Drobicki - electric bass guitar
• Goce Naumov - drums, percussion
