The bigest North American website - deducated to video games, music and another form of intertaiment and show biz - IGN.com has more than 20 million unique visitors a month, and more than 200,000 active monthly and annual subscribers. Year of 2004 "outstanding achivement in music" from Rpg vault is granted to Kirill for his score to Larian studios Beyond Divinity."Kirill Pokrovsky demonstrated his talent and sensitivity by creating a score for Beyond Divinity that may well be its defining strength. The individual tracks not only succeed in capturing and conveying a variety of moods to suit the game's range of situations, but also come together to form a unified and eminently enjoyable whole that played a critically important role in Larian's intriguing tale of a character soul forged to a Death Knight".
After the piano concert in the city hall of Melle the artist Roger Bockstaele dedicated a metal sculpture to Kirill's composition "Flight of the Eagle".
5 years already Kirill has been invited to open the probably most prestigeous Gala Ball for young people in Knokke Belgium.

We introduce a complete set of music tracks from Divine divinity by popular demand of the fans, including all ambiant tracks too, so drag them into you play list, turn off the light, enable the visualisation of your media player and dive into the strange Gothic Spiritual World of fantasy - Divine Divinity. As one of my fans wrote this is a very powerfull experience, but be carefull with candels - secure them from starting the fire :)
Kirill attempted to Midem - international exhibition of recording industry, both pop and classic conferences in Cannes, South of France. As a part of SABAM (Belgian authors rights association) delegation and a participant of Vadim Piankovs "Baggy Publishers". Kirill strongly believes that instead of trying to control the exchange and flow of intellectual property the industry should adapt to new technologies and support them.The similar situation already happened when audio cassettes and VHS tapes were introduced. After all when big profits are not an issue anymore only real music lovers and enthousiasts will stay in industry. Artists will become more independent and responsible for there own concert carrier. Nicely edited CD-DVD with a booklet and artistic signature will be always an a desirable collectors item especially sold on the concerts. If the price of other products will be only slightly higher them the blank media - it will always sell for timesaving and quality reasons.After all even if data transfer will be somehow controlled (that is completely impossible) there are digital radio and tv channels from which music can be easily recorded, collected on HD and stored on CD or dvd, so the whole story comes not to downloading of mp3 but to introduction of recordable digital media as C.D. writers for PC that ironically were pioneered by Phillips and Sony.And finally there is big amount of people who has nothing to do with computers (unlike the teenagers to who the recording market was legally deducted) or will not spend time to copy or download and plenty of customer with somer money to spend for collector items or gifts. The industry should not try to stop the changes but adapt to it.
