Dima Kovalenko – Composer, Guitarist, and Musical Explorer
Dima Kovalenko is a versatile composer whose work spans jazz, folk music, and electronic experimentation. His compositions are characterized by intricate harmonic structures, unexpected melodic turns, and deep symbolism.
Dima is the author of two jazz albums, Asya’s Walk and Reverse Perspective, where he blends the traditions of improvisational music with his own vision of harmony and rhythm. In addition, he has recorded a folk music album, offering a unique take on authentic sounds.
One of his most innovative projects is Synergetic Chess—a groundbreaking concept where musical elements reflect a chess game, transforming an intellectual pursuit into a living sonic structure.
As a performer, Dima is actively involved in Die Hawaras, a project that reinterprets traditional melodies with modern arrangements. His arrangement of Parokhod vividly illustrates the dialogue between East and West through the fusion of modal and quartal-quintal harmonization.
In his music, Dima strives not only to evoke emotions but also to build conceptual bridges between styles, eras, and cultures. He creates a unique artistic space where intellectual depth meets sincerity and vibrant expression.
