composed and performed by Milen Kukosharov

"Chaw Baan" is one of 15 music videos essays for the "15 Beats of Life" collaboration project between composer Milen Kukosharov and filmmaker Yavor Vesselinov.
In "15 Beats of Life" two artists, who live in opposite parts of the world and have never met in person, meet through their crafts. Milen would compose and perform a piano theme and Yavor would film and bring his own vision to it. In some of the essays this is to happen the other way round - Yavor would send a silent video which Milen would score with his compositions.
Somewhere in time we envision all 15 or more pieces to travel the world in a solo piano & multimedia gig.
"15 Beats of Life" is inspired by writer Yana Borisova, who is Milen and Yavor's good friend.
"Chao Baan" was composed and performed by Milen in Sofia, Bulgaria in February 2020 and Yavor edited it in St Louis, United States, using footage he shot in Chiang Mai, Bangkok and Krabi in Thailand in late 2018.
"Chao Baan" means "Locals" (from Thai).
