DEFIANCE OF THE GLORIOUS CHILDREN
For symphonic orchestra and tape, multichannel, 2023
For symphonic orchestra and tape, multichannel, 2023
Inspired by, and dedicated to, adventurous, fresh, boundless musicianship of children and their freedom in experimentation and improvisation.
Defiance of the Glorious Children is a piece dedicated to and inspired by children’s music-making. In a 3 day workshop which preceded writing of the score, ensemble of children-improvisers was gathered to explore creative possibilities of making short forms (1 minute) of improvised music that would be recorded in a studio. By playing their own instrument, in each of the short musical compositions, these children-creators were experimenting with different interpretations of musical structure, timbre and character of the piece. As an outcome of their playful, liberated and inspired approach to improvisation, musical structure pulsates with freshness and spontaneity. The richness of the expressive qualities such as dynamics, exciting development of the material, extended playing techniques (and sound effects), reflect amazing variety and make musical material extremely colourful and diverse.
The set of these short pieces (improvisations), was basis for my work. I have interpreted orchestra as part of this ensemble, by taking as a central point, the idea that all the music revolves around the structure of the children’s recordings.
Fragmentation of form (and sound), and principle of collage, are defining the work in many ways. Non-standard multichannel speaker placement, division of orchestra into smaller groups, and breaking of the clear boundary between audience and sound (audience and orchestra), support the wish to come closer to the music - to all the crackling, squeaking, humming nuances of sound that reflect its simplicity and intuitiveness which is preserved in the recordings that are being played over loudspeakers.
This work is a celebration of children’s creativity and imagination and appreciation for their daring attitude when it comes to improvising and music-making.

FUNNY OBELISK
For ensemble and multichannel, triangular sound, 2023
For ensemble and multichannel, triangular sound, 2023
Premiered by Ensemble Phoenix Basel at Gare Du Nord
June 2023
Funny obelisk is an exploration of structural principles based around the triangular, electro-acoustic sound configuration where main elements are an elevated mono speaker, sound of the ensemble and back stereo projection. Based on this setting, multiple structuring concepts are used which give great individual freedom, and encourage different styles of improvisation to shape the material. Timbre variety is introduced by the use of “replacement-instruments”, a less serious instruments that performers sometimes play with. This also emphasises (to an extent), a humorous character of the piece. In the electronic domain, swift relocations of pre-recorded material and two electronic musicians, between front, back and middle speakers, contribute to the diversity of the sound image. This piece was made with having in mind a distinct improvisatory character of the Phoenix ensemble.

NOISE BLANKO
"Our “Blanko” projects are already legendary. On the one hand, we have been performing in this self-invented format for well over ten years, and on the other hand, the unusually intensive nature of the collaboration and engagement with two artists per season unites us in a particularly intense bond. Consciously not coming from the usual curriculum of a composer’s training, we bring together lateral entrants, “sonic artists” in the broadest sense, visual artists with a clear musical affinity, etc., with our expert ensemble members for electronic or amplified music." |

"Morkanjac" composition prize awarded by the Serbian Composers' Association
This composition is based on a fictional scenario of restoring the ancient, lost and found, musical recordings. It is a personal contemplation of what this imaginary sound reproduction technology might be, and moreover, what are the musical specificities of a medium that we consider to be old (and maybe even long forgotten) in general. These imaginary (musical) findings are central idea around which the compositions have been made. Sound vocabulary of the work has been built elaborating on this, and on the idea that the medium, as a physical fact, can be represented in music as one of many existing compositional layers, with possibility to be depicted by using conventional musical tools. Some titles of the individual pieces point out to concrete references, providing the listener with the material for a storytelling experience that permeates the whole work.
Majority of the sounds have purely digital origin although their purpose is to resemble the quality and character of field recordings, amplified objects or other concrete sounds. At this instance, the compositional method becomes inversion of the music concrete in an attempt to re-create the world of real, organic sounds by using the artificial, digital ones. The signature sound by EMS Synthi 100 has been used cohesively throughout the different sections of the composition, to set an emotional backdrop of the work, and as a source material.

The work was presented in ambisonics, binaural and stereo formats. It was composed for an interactive environment, and the sections (structure, duration) were open. This is one of its rendering (structure and format-wise), made for the presentation at Radio Belgrade in 2020.
Commissioned for the Tingles & Clicks project by the Musikprotokoll 2020 and supported by the program "Creative Europe" of the European Union and SHAPE platform
To breathe, is to activate a certain space. Short breaths, deep breaths, dying breaths or sensual ones - they evoke variety of features and peculiarities that the breath embodies. Breath is also a precondition of voice, and further, of a spoken word. Paving the path for every physiological and philosophical activity, breath is essential to all we do and all that we are.
Auditory situations in this piece are fluidly changing from one to another in a constant fluctuation and transfiguration of the musical material. Acoustic spaces inside of which the music is being situated, give room for the sounds to appear, to change and disappear, develop and transform, and inside of these spaces, the ear can swift freely from one sound object to another in a spatial and non-linear listening experience.

Electro-acoustic composition based on the interviews with artists: Mara Micciche, Branko Džinović and Vukašin Đelić, my close friends and collaborators, who have never met each other. They live in three different cities - Šabac, Belgrade, Zurich. Their stories as well as their sounds, intertwine throughout the piece modified and accompanied by the sounds of my own, all of them creating an ensemble of voices, sounds and musical fragments deriving from diverse set of musical practices by each of us. Second episode in the TIMEZONES series produced by the Norient.

These 3 tracks were made solely by using analogue synthesizer - EMS Synthi 100. For each track, there was a single patch and the material was recorded live in one go. Rhythmical synchronization of the material was done by using the Synthi's sequencer. Simple live manipulations included putting a pin or two in and out and switching on and off the mixer channels. Additional panning of each individual channel was done on a computer. These tracks demonstrate the effect of extremely simplified musical material produced by using the not-so-simple sound tool (for the reference, try figuring out and programming a Synthi 100 sequencer:)). Tracks are named by the number of sequencer steps used in that piece.

Premiered at Radio-television Serbia, March 2018
Premiered at Radio-television Serbia, March 2018
This piece was made for the purpose of the official opening of the Electronic Studio Radio Belgrade, on March 2 2018. The performance took place in Electronic Studio and it was broadcast on national radio and TV simultaneously. The audience could follow this and the rest of the program, live in one of the Radio Belgrade's studios.
Electronic Studio Radio Belgrade was re-opened after over 25 years of stagnation. Opening and most of the programs of the studio at this point are concentrated around the restored synthesizer EMS Synthi 100, that has been brought back to life in September 2017 by the team of experts - Daniel Araya and Jari Suominen.
My computer setup for this piece was based on the TouchOSC interface, Pure data patch and Ableton live. Improvisational dialogues between Synthi and computer were done through a dynamic interactive interface on my tablet and tweaking of the Synthi sounds live and playing with their parameters. I haven't used Synthi's sequencer (or a computer sequencer), but rather variety of key triggers, joysticks and envelope shaper trapezoids. Due to a wide frequency range, it's not advisable to listen to this recording through a laptop speaker or similar. This is my first use of the modular synthesizer in live performance and/ or composition.

JEZIK

Electro-acoustic, cut-up, radiophonic 2016
Језик, pronounced Jezik and meaning “tongue”, but also "language" in Serbian, is a composition made of 11 short pieces, each being centered around the theme of human speech. These are short studies in language articulation, utilized by musical means. In a broad sense, the subject of the work is language as represented by human voice in a post-digital soundscape. Behind the computer screens, in the virtual space dominated by text and images, speaking voice as representation of the body, of the self, becomes modulated by the technology and deconstructed to the level of malfunction (glitch). Just as our attention is being dispersed due to the multitude of simultaneous events, the language (or the ear that perceives it) in the same way reaches the ultimate fragmentariness. This was the reason why in the selection of materials I worked with, I predominantly focused on very short cut-ups of variety of voices, with emphasis on paralinguistic elements from which I carefully moved towards larger units. I found musicality in the smallest cracks of speech and meaning, and I made the language struggle for its existence through many musical obstructions.
From appreciation of spoken words in all their acoustic subtleties, to artificial and enforced musical (rhythmical) structures that are not inherent to speech, I was testing the elasticity of language, stretching the boundaries of its musicality to the point of rupture. For me, within these ruptures, new (musical) meanings arise.
*All vocal materials are cut-ups from number of radio shows found in the archives of the Radio Belgrade and the recordings were kindly provided by them.

The Norient exhibition «Seismographic Sounds – Visions of a New World» shows and discusses contemporary video clips, tracks and Sound Art from around the globe. Following the six topics Money, Loneliness, War, Belonging, Exotica and Desire, the visitor explores the exhibition as an audio-visual composition.
"Musicians and Sound Artists all over the world make themselves heard through Soundcloud, YouTube and Twitter. Their tracks, video clips and audio collages challenge known forms and ideals and propose Visions of a New World. They offer surprising, smart and provocative perspectives that are simultaneously reduced, salient and profound. Norient highlights these contemporary artistic positions and argues about their potential and limits with journalists, bloggers, artists and scholars from different places and cultures of knowledge. The exhibition further introduces people behind the scenes in experimental audio podcasts. The exhibition counters pessimistic views that globalisation and digitalisation has led to cultural uniformity and the destruction of the world’s musical heritage."

MICRO CUT-UPS OF SOUND POETRY, VOCAL COMPOSITIONS AND VOCAL IMPROVISATIONS,
The piece was made by using the technique of micro cut-ups - combining the existing recordings of exclusively vocal music (vocal improvisation, sound poetry and contemporary music), their smallest bits and fragments, composer made original piece of complex texture and constructed new melodic and harmonic patterns using the existing recordings. Borrowing the idiom of Dj mix, this piece needs to be followed by the list of compositions that were used in the piece. These original works can be recognized, but they are not to be followed chronologically.

Told through a masterful soundscape of words, music, and effects, Marija Stojnić’s documentary is a paean to Radio Belgrade, one of the oldest radio stations in Europe and the only surviving station in Serbia to offer rich cultural, scientific, and topical programming. Drawing upon 90 years of archival sound, including radio dramas and talk shows, the film evocatively recalls Yugoslavia’s golden age of radio broadcasting even as it portends the public station’s uncertain future in our increasingly authoritarian times.

Large-scale multimedia installation, made of video projections and multichannel sound. It takes abandoned industrial space and turns it into immersive sensory experience, inviting the audience to re-inhabit this hybrid space by moving freely through the installation. The main actors of the videos are workers-poets. Their poetry deals with the deep existentialist questions of working-class life and the position of the worker as individual in the production chain. To create a hybrid space, we are using a system for spatial (mapped) video projection and 4-channel sound system.
