La Colonie Volvox is a siestical gathering of creative and innovative individuals that produces many different kinds of sound and multimedia projects. The personal and professional communication of the Colonie members is founded on the principal of the Volvox microorganisms, which is actually a colony of separate individual cells that choose to live together and work towards a common purpose (moving the cell around the water finding the right place for maximum absorption of sunlight energy). This concept is based on the idea that the structure of the Microcosmical is the essence of the Universal. The process of generating music by La Colonie Volvox is a process of free pervading of the individual inspirations, talents and attitudes of the participants in the projects. The structure of the Colonie cannot be strictly determined, because it depends on the nature and needs of a concrete music material.
The style of the music performed by La Colonie Volvox cannot be determined. Some of the projects are based on traditional music from all around the globe, both sacral and folk, and some are completely free. However, the manner of expressing the personal view is (more or less) experimental. Many of the recordings represent a mixture of different traditions, as seen by the musicians.
La Colonie Volvox has two official releases for Skopje Jazz Festival Records (“Abstractology” and “Wasteland”). The band had several TV performances, four live Radio Sessions and has held concerts in almost every city in the Republic of Macedonia.
