Since
graduating at the St. Petersburg Conservatoire (faculty of composition
and theory of music) in 1982, Dmitri
Pavlov has written for films, theatre and ballet as well as instrumental
and symphony music. His interests vary from Piano Concertos to electronic
and computer compositions. A triple prizewinner at the International
Competition of Electroacustic Music in Bourges (one of the winning
entries was The Life of Colour) and the composer for the documentary
"Kolyma" (the winning entry at the 1992 International Film
Festival in Copenhagen), Dmitri Pavlov has invariably experimented
with several musical forms in the process of creating his works. All
of his compositions reflect this experimentation as well as his interest
in art and philosophy. In 1995 Dmitri Pavlov moved to Berlin, where
he continued his work as a composer. In the past few years he completed
the first concerto ever written for a computer and an orchestra and
that work was performed in Germany. He also written a sound track
to a much acclaimed film The
Cuckoo (A. Rogozshkin director) and in 2004 Dmitri Pavlov received
for his music State Prize of The Russian Federation form the president
Vladimir Putin.
