Sleepwalker Bio:

Sleepwalker a.k.a Lyubomir Yordanov started to work on the Sleepwalker project back in 2000, after years of studying music, exploring ethnic cultures and inspiring by vast journeys. With more than 200,000 listens online, Sleepwalker (at age 26) almost instantly became one of the most successful artists from Bulgaria in his genre. It is no chance that the track “Invisible Cloister” from his 3rd album occupied the 1 place in the World chart of the prestigious website GarageBand.com and stayed there for 8 months. Like proud member of ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers), Sleepwalker released 3 albums since 2004 - “Flower Of Life - 2004”, “A Tear For Kursk - 2005”, “Amenti - 2006”.

The music of Sleepwalker combines in a fascinating way different genres as New Age, Chill-out, Lounge, World and Ambient, mixed with folklore motives from all over the planet, symphonic parts and Soundtrack themes. The conception centre on ancient civilizations, wondered and sacred places, epic antique cities, fascinate tales, lyrics of Arabian, Portuguese, French and Italian, interlaced with Tibetan, African and Native American dialects and Bulgarian chants. For reaching such rich and vary sound picture, Sleepwalker use the combination of new modern computer technologies with multiple instruments as guitars, violin, synthesizers, Native American flutes, African and Indonesian percussions, mandolin, oud, saz and Armenian pipe. Sleepwalker works with different musicians, like each one of them blend and color the music with own style.

Sleepwalker creates a peaceful ambience on "Revival." The song highlights American Indian elements in a minimal, rhythmic composition, and the production almost makes you feel like you are in the same room as the players.

The artist lists Enigma amongst his influences and this is very apparent when listening to this. This comparison may well prove to be a negative one as I think a lot of people got sick of Enigma's propensity for milking the same idea to death. It would be a shame if that prevented people from listening to this piece as it deserves more than being dismissed as another Enigma clone. The artist has used more elements to their music than you often find in new age type pieces, the most notable of which are the operatic vocals which are excellent. Piano and strings are brought in and out throughout and although this sort of stuff is generally regarded as background music, this has more than enough going on to command your full attention; the sound quality is also very high. Irrespective of your feelings towards Enigma, I would recommend anyone with even a passing interest in new age style music to check this one out, as it is a very enjoyable track and will likely find appreciation amongst a high number of listeners.
