East Winds was composed for the debut of Balkan Moods, a quintet of renowned Bulgarian musicians. Premiered during a concert series in Switzerland in October 2024, the piece blends classical, jazz, and Balkan traditional styles.

Its improvisatory elements, complex rhythms, and melodic themes provide space for interpretative freedom between musicians with diverse classical, jazz, or Balkan traditional musical backgrounds.
The third guitar part includes advanced cross-rhythmic techniques that challenge musical dexterity and offers a multi-string guitar part.

Dimitar Ivanov, Caux, Switzerland 2024
