Nocktern

Formed in 2006 as a solo project of Stoimen Stoyanov, NOCKTERN is a Bulgarian electro- rock band from Sofia, Bulgaria. During the years Nocktern was producing music with different artists and bands until his first EP entitled “No Sugar Added” was released in 2016 with a promo concert in the Bulgarian National Radio. “No Sugar Added” is a mixture between trip-hop, nu jazz, ambient and neo classica with a cinematic tone. Stoimen formed a band with which they played in different venues and festivals presenting the album. That was the beginning of Nocktern Band, where different artists join the project for live performances of the compositions of this specific album. Later in 2017 he released a solo piano album of 3 songs called “Pieces of Lyla” which is a triptych of a girl passing through states of excitement, melancholy, and harmony.
