Unfold by Boyan

unfold /ʌnˈfəʊld/

[ to gradually develop or be revealed ]

Boyan is anything, but one-directional. Dwelling in the world of instrumental hip hop, leftfield electronica, soul and hip hop, the producer is on a journey of constant exploration. To explore it often means re-discover familiar grounds, come back to your roots and feel them as your present self, because humans are never constant and who you are today is not who you used to be.

Unfold is Boyan’s journey back home.

“Whilst making Unfold I was reaching for that same feeling, experimenting with sounds, letting myself go with the flow and not question any of the decisions I am making. It is a deeper look into my passion in more of an electronic/soundscape musical picture.”

Artist’s goal with the record is to make listeners feel. Feel anything. Happiness, sadness, excitement, nostalgia.

The foundation which interconnects the 4 tracks in the EP is undoubtedly Boyan’s biggest musical love – the piano. An element that was ever-present is his work as an artist, regardless of the genre. It is the thing that sets the ton, builds the premise and unites deep house, uk garage, electronica and downtempo music with the slight nuances of traditional Bulgarian folklore scattered throughout the whole release. Elements used in a lot of prominent records that came out recently including Bonobo’s Fragments and BICEP’s Isles.

EP’s artwork is based on another Boyan passion – photography. All visual elements are shot by him and are a ever-lasting reminder of his love for Bulgaria’s nature.

“Every picture you see is a photograph I have taken in my travels through Bulgaria, capturing moments I thought are insanely beautiful and soul moving. These also really reflect the music in Unfold, and I think they can serve as a visual compass through the emotions in the songs.”, shares the artist.
