About Me

Since 2004 a member and a main ideologist of the creative group [antiparty gang] (Almaty, Kazakhstan) that devoted its efforts to the development of contemporary media arts in Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Organized and/or took part in every other action of the group from 2004 to 2007.
Since 2006 organizes and curates the international festival REPLICA for experimental media art (the first activity of its kind in Kazakhstan). The REPLICA festival was started in Almaty in 2006 and continued in 2007. The festival included participants from Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Austria.
Since 2004 run a highly subjective and uncompromising web-zine indie.org.ua with the main focus on contemporary left-field music and avant-garde.
In 2007 became the main editor and one of the authors of the new ukrainian print magazine on experimental media arts Gurkit .
Started his own musical activity in the early 2006. Since the end of 2006 has been collaborating with Alexander Chikmakov in an electroacoustic improv duo of acoustic guitar and computer. The main idea of the duo was to erase borders between acoustic and electronic sounds.
In the end of 2007 obtained the grant Gaude Polonia of Narodowe Centrum Kultury (PL), and thus from Feb to Jul 2008 spent studying music/intermedia under the guide of prof. Marek Chołoniewski at the Electroacoustic Music Studio (SME) of the Academy of Music in Cracow, Poland.
After completing studies Kolokol came back to his duo with Alexander Chikmakov, which suddenly decided to call itself the_volume. Our complete profile as well as some songs can be found at www.kolokol.kiev.ua/thevolume.html .
In 2009 wrote music for the theater performance of Paweł Passini "Wszystkie rodzaje śmierci" (after Siddhartha by H.Hesse) in collaboration with Paweł Passini and Daniel Moński (of Masala Soundsystem). Here is the full recording of the pre-premiere of the performance http://nettheatre.pl/
In April'09 a famous Polish label AudioTong released the debut solo album of Kolokol "ily"
At the moment Denis is busy preparing completely new solo-program, working on the music for theater and the_volume project. Occasionally takes part in "Orkiestra ElektroNova" of Studio Muzyki Elektroakustycznej (SME), Kraków PL
