Alembic

Alembic are Viktor Tanaskovski (guitar, vocals) and Iva Damjanovski (keyboards, vocals, theremin). Their music is an attempt to fuse and reinvent a variety of musical genres using experimental and atypical ways of producing sound, playing a game of bottles and beakers with musical elements, as the name suggests. Their self-titled debut album was released in July 2022 (produced by Nino Spirkoski). In addition to being a duo act, on some songs in the repertoire Alembic are occasionally accompanied by Filip Efinski (guitar) and Emil Spirkoski (drums) on their live gigs as well as on the album.

They have been part of many festival programs, among which the SCS Center Jadro sessions, Youth for Skopje festival, Voice of Youth festival organized by the Youth Council of the US embassy in Skopje, an interview and a live set on Hello goodbye show at Amok Radio, live at Dobra Ideja festival in MKC Skopje, Sounds of Modernity at the Presidential Residence in Skopje, Earth Day Art Model Showcase, Ѕирни 04 Film Festival, AKTO – Lost Modernist Utopias at the YOT Theatre Festival, Kvaka 22 in Belgrade, a concert at the Belgrade promenades at Kolarac, Feminist Festival “Прво Па Женско”, and were part of the core artistic team of the “City as a Stage” work exhibited at the national pavilion at the Prague Quadrennial.
