Timeline

1974

Simon Kiselicki (pronounced Simon Kiselichki, Macedonian Cyrillic: Симон Киселички; born October 25, 1974) is a Macedonian jazz pianist, composer and arranger.

He is considered "one of the most important personalities of the Macedonian jazz scene", known for his solo and group work as the Simon Kiselicki group, as well as his work in Macedonian bands Klerzo and La Colonie Volvox, and his contributions across Europe and the Balkans.

Kiselicki is also one of the first musicians who brought jazz music to Macedonian stages and clubs, at the start of the 90s.

Simon has composed seven albums, one of which was released by the Skopje Jazz Festival, as well as having arranged for other artists' projects including Bodan Arsovski's 'Broken Beats' album.

Kiselicki has performed at European festivals including Exit Festival, Skopje Jazz Festival, Petrovac Jazz Festival, Glazba i Rec Festival Cavtat, Kumanovo Jazz Festival, SOSFest, Peace Unlimited Festival, and more.

He is also known for his ten-year contribution to the Dubrovnik jazz scene at the Hard Jazz Cafe Troubadour, considered as one of Dubrovnik's most influential jazz musicians.

He is written in the Macedonian Rock Encyclopedia by Tosho Filipovski and the Ex Yugo Rock Encyclopedia.

Simon plays ten instruments in total: piano, keyboards, xylophone, drums, congas, bongos, guitar, tambura, bass guitar and duduk, a traditional Macedonian instrument.

Piano being his primary instrument, Simon has also recorded material performing the duduk on several albums.

Simon Kiselicki was born on 25 October 1974 in Skopje, Yugoslavia (present-day North Macedonia).

At a young age his parents bought him a melodica which he constantly played, but was fed up of having to blow through the mouthpiece to receive a note.

His solution was to sellotape a hairdryer to the mouthpiece so that the sound could be achieved without pauses, and ended up burning the melodica.

His parents realised that Simon was better off learning the piano.

Simon's initial introduction to music was through the drums, but later showed greater interest in the piano.

He studied piano, percussion and theory at Ilija Nikolovski – Luj high school.

1994

In 1994, Simon would study classical composition under the guide of Goce Kolarovski.

At the start of the 90s, Kiselicki was one of the first musicians to bring jazz to Macedonian clubs, alongside musicians Djole Grujovski (guitarist), Goce Stevkovski (drummer), Darko Muchev (bassist), Marija Dimitrijevic (vocalist) and Dzemal Cakic (trumpeter).

Jazz had been played before in Macedonia, but these musicians were the first to make jazz performances official in clubs and on stages.

1995

Simon's first composition 'Suite for Piano' was presented in 1995 (performed by Marjana Nikolovska) on Macedonian Radio Television (MRTV) for the Days of Macedonian Music Festival (Denovi Na Makedonska Muzika).

In 1995, at 21 years of age, Simon initiated the second formation of Macedonian prog-rock group Klerzo with colleagues Sasho Gigov – Gis (vocalist), Goce Stevkovski (drummer), Darko Muchev (bassist), Goran Bugarinovski (flautist) and Sasho Spasovski (guitarist).

The group, highly celebrated, performed across Macedonia, performing hits such as 'Pirunika' and 'Sonce', functioning for about two years.

1997

In 1997 Simon began collaborating with Bodan Arsovski (former Leb i Sol bassist) and the Ezgija Orchestra for his album 'Broken Beats', performing at EthnoFest Neum (1998) and Kursumli An.

In the meantime, he would become the music manager for Lady Blue Jazz Club, and performed with his jazz quintet 'Night and Day' with Goce Stevkovski, Darko Muchev, Goce Micanov on the saxophone and Goce Dimitrovski on the trumpet.

Simon's first jazz compositions were recorded for MRTV (produced by Ilija Peovski), and later Simon applied to study at Peovski's class, learning jazz piano and harmony.

1999

In 1999 Simon travelled to Croatia and found the Hard Jazz Cafe Troubadour in Dubrovnik, under the management of late Marko Breskovic, where he would perform every summer for ten years, recognised as one of the jazz musicians responsible for the popularisation and growth of one of the world's most important jazz scene.

2001

In 2001 he moved to Budapest, Hungary, where he began composing for his first album Beneventana.

2002

He formed the Beneventan Trio in 2002 when he returned to Skopje with Dino Milosavljevic (drums) and Djole Maksimovski (bass), and performed together at events such as the Skopje Summer Festival (2003) and Ohrid's Cultural House.

2003

From these concerts, Beneventana was created and in 2003 later released by Skopje Jazz Festival Records.

A month later, the Beneventan Trio performed at the Skopje Jazz Festival.

2004

In 2004 the Simon Kiselicki Group was formed.

Simon began composition on his second album Levitation, with musicians Dave Wilson (alto saxophone), Dionis Stratrov (bass guitar), Sale Stojanovski (drums), and guest musicians Dzijan Emin (horn), Marie Petrov (trombone), Mihail Parushev (bouzouki) and Goce Stevkovski (percussion (7)).

2007

During this time he toured the Balkans, and in 2007 released the album on his return to Dubrovnik for the summer.

During his time in Croatia he performed and worked at the Glazba i Rec Festival, Cavtat, performing his project Future Balkan Music composed for piano, flute, violin and bassoon.

As well as this, he performed at the Petrovac Jazz Festival in Montenegro with the Simon Kiselicki Trio.

2008

In 2008 Simon composed his third album Jamajla with Aleksandar Ikonomov (double bass) and Aleksandar Sekulovski (drums).

2009

Simon joined the Macedonian avant-garde and jazz fusion group La Colonie Volvox in 2009.

He would record his fourth and fifth albums with them, Europa and East West and Rest.

The Europa album was funded by the Macedonian Ministry of Culture.

La Colonie Volvox was commissioned to perform at the European Parliament in Brussels.

The band toured Europe during this time, their travels concluding a 5500 km journey, and as a result the East West and Rest album was inspired and composed.
