NOMADS : In 2010 I started work on my long term a/v project featuring my unpublished poetry from 1999 to now, my own video materials, and music. The project will be a live performance, with each poem as an audiovisual track. projected on three or two screens. The first part of the project involves making short poetry films.
Below is a short film for the poem "Nomads," written on the island of St. Croix in 2002. First screened at Water Tower Art Festival, Sofia, 2010 also screened at Crosstalks Video Festival 2012, Zebra Poetry Film Festival 2012 and others.

NEW GENERATION: In 2009 I begun a collaboration with New Generation, a band legendary in Bulgaria since the late '80's, which got together to create their new album "VIA." I created a live video performance where each song is linked to a group of video materials, from footage to animation and Quartz compositions, and performed live in synch with the music, while allowing for a lot of improvisation every time. Some of the materials are based on the paintings of D. Ayranov, a long standing friend of the band and well known Bulgarian painter.  The band and Yagama have since become good friends and collaborated for several years.

My audiovisual collaboration with J-Lab  lasted between 2010 and 2012 and was performed at Freerotation.
Below is a video from a live set by Yagama and J-Lab called "XTRACT". In it we totally abstracted and digitalised images of my paintings, and synchronised the transformations with the music.
Audiovisual collaboration with Kliment Dichev, Victors Mob and Micromattic at various events.  In 2009 I created a music video for Kliment Dichev vs Micromattic's track "Reconstellation," released  by Absolutive Records the same year. The video was premiered at UAMO Festival in Munich in 2009.
