La Colonie Volvox is a siestical gathering of creative and innovative individuals.
The personal and professional communication of the Colonie members is founded
on the principal of the Volvox microorganisms, which is actually a colony
of separate individual cells that choose to live together and work towards
a common purpose. The process of generating music by La Colonie Volvox is
a process of free pervading of the individual inspirations, talents and attitudes
of the participants. Some of the projects are based on traditional music from
around the globe, both sacral and folk, and some are completely free.
However, the manner of composing and performing is always
experimental, revolving around the unpredictable
expressing of the personal views.

La Colonie Volvox was formed 2002 in Skopje, Macedonia
by several enthusiastic musicians, determined to dig deep
into the avant-garde, aside from their “regular” engagements. Some of them
remained until present – Sasho Gigov-Gish, Dragan Stojkovski, Goce Naumov –
and alongside Aleksandar Nikolovski, Simon Kiselicki, Bulent Bekir-Baba and Predrag Ikonomovski
form the core of the group. Still, the Colonie remains an open micro-society,
collaborating with prominent Macedonian artists like
Kristijan Cvetkovski, Ognen Anastasovski,
Vladan Drobicki, Vasko Bojadziski, Stefche Stojkovski,
Mihail Parushev, Nenad Nedelkov, Igor Atanasovski,
Vladimir Ikonomov, Gjoko Gruevski among others.
