The life in music of three experimental musicians (in Serbia and Switzerland)

The life in music of three experimental musicians (in Serbia and Switzerland)

28m 32s

An electro-acoustic composition based on the interviews with the three 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.

A podcast by Belgrade based composer and sound artist Svetlana Maraš.

In recent years, small-scale studios in Nairobi have begun producing music locally, and some of their output reaches millions of listeners in Kenya, or create buzz and noise in international niche music scenes. Their producers and musicians are turning old hierarchies upside down, often calling for social and political reforms. But they’re also facing a lot of resistance.
