Biography

Born 1989 in Sofia, Bulgaria, George Strezov is one of the young and aspiring composers for film and TV. His professional career started at the age of 16, when he was invited to make the music for the PlayStation 3 game “Strength of the sword” (Ivent Games, still in development) and soon after that he composed the anthem for his school (21st secondary school “Hristo Botev”, Sofia). Shortly after that he made the music for various short-films, including the documentary “Kiss for good night” (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1431693/) and Microsoft's “Surf the net safely”.

Today, George is studying conducting (choir specialized) at the National Academy of Music in Sofia in the class of prof. Adriana Blagoeva, but still the music for media is his greatest passion. He has been working on various projects – more than 10 movies, various TV and radio commercials and spots. He has worked as a composer, orchestrator and arranger with “DODO Film”, “Revive Vision”, “DUDU Pictures”, “TVArt.info”, “ABC Design and Communication”, “Future Media”, “Glorian Music Marks”, “AMA Sound Studio”.

„Making music for movies and video games is something incredible, mainly because in it the composer can combine different techniques - from electronica to classical orchestration. The composer can make various experiments to create the feeling and ambience he wants.“

In 2010 he scored the music for the documentary series “The Path of Human Civilization” (directed by Stiliyan Ivanov). The soundtracks were authentically oriental, yet modern, combining ethnic elements with contemporary classical orchestration. The music was very well accepted by the Syrian embassy in Bulgaria and was broadcast on the national radio.

Apart from composing, George Strezov is a passionate piano player. He was playing the keyboards in the famous pop-rock band “Ajabez” (www.ajabez.com). George also plays various percussions – it is his hobby – and sings. He is part of the vocal ensemble “OctaVoice”.

From the very beginning, George Strezov wanted to share his knowledge with others. His online lessons for FL Studio and music helped lots of people in their start in the music production. In 2010 he started writing for "AudioTuts+". You can check some of his tutorials in the “Articles” sections of strezov.net – sadly most of the articles in bulgarian are not yet translated.
