Heptagram's playlist

It all started when we heard his song Angels , which is a soundtrack on a warm night on which you go a long way, the headlamps opposite dazzle you, the views are blurred, the window is open and the breathing is somehow easier ... That's how we handle the Heptagram music. Behind this pseudonym Daniel Ivanov composes, plays and sings. He is a person who does not appear on social networks and for whom we know almost nothing before we meet in the park face to face.

Then we find out he's making music since he learns to change guitar chords when he's 7; that he comes from Plovdiv but had lived in several countries; and that he is engaged in sound design, while his hands skillfully ride through the bass, the tambourine, the piano and the drums. He started recording in 2007 when his first album, Heptagram (available only on disc), followed by Lucidity (in 2012) and Glass Elevators (in 2018). Why did not you hear them? Because Heptagram very rarely goes on stage, but it's about to change on May 16 when he's gathered a band of four for a concert in Mixtape 5.
