Native Macedonian Kiril began his musical journey in the early eighties by teaming up with award winning director Milcho Manchevski to form Bastion, one of the first electronic bands in Macedonia. He then went on to play with one of the most famous Macedonian bands 'Leb i Sol', recording two albums and touring extensively around the Balkans and Europe.

In the nineties, Kiril moved to Australia and began experimenting by combining ethnic Macedonian music and electronic beats. This led to his first solo release, 'Synthetic Theatre', an EP received extremely well by Australian independent radio stations.

In 2000, American label Tone Casualties released his album 'Homebound', which continued the concept of blending Macedonian ethnic instrumentation and electronica. It received excellent reviews around the world, including USA, Canada, UK, Spain and Japan. Croatian Playboy Magazine voted it the best album of the year from Ex Yugoslavia. The single from the album, 'Primitive Science', included remixes by well known London producers and DJs: Bushwacka, Subsonic Legacy and Dreadzone.

Kiril has contributed tracks to various compilations released worldwide by labels such as Putumayo, 10 KILO, Pschent Music, Third Ear Music and Distinctive Records.

In addition to his work with electronic projects and his solo albums, Kiril writes music for film, television and theatre.
