My Garden without Me #4: Tree Bark Recipes

Proud to present www.treebarkrecipes.com , a collection of sound works showing befores and afters of insects inhabiting a single littleleaf linden (Tilia cordata). You can listen to sound works created by amazing artists from around the wounded planet.
It is a part of a bigger project I conceptualized and curate, My garden without me, dealing with listening to and imagining the world during anthropause. It is a constructed archive of faked field recordings, imaginary soundscapes and following photo, video, and text-based documentation.
Several amazing artists contributed to this collection and I am grateful and proud to know them (in no particular order): Maja Bosnić, Lottie Sadd, Francesca Le Lohé, Teodora Stepančić, Lynette Quek, Damian Scholl, Manja Ristić, Johnny Chang & Hana Patterson-Chang, Andreja Andrić, Ljubomir Nikolić, bbob drake, I’m My Own Merry-go-round, Maximiliano Bober

PIANO+ #24 ... recorded spaces

https://teodora.stepancic.com/piano_plus_24/

My dearest friend and arguably the most creative musician I know, Teodora Stepančić, curates piano+, "a concert series dedicated to new and rarely heard music". This time, together with Gabriela Areal and Assaf Gidron, we created an interactive website where you can immerse yourself in sounds and images of cities, mornings, birds, chords. We plan to add and change material, and keep sharing the spaces of Belgrade, Buenos Aires ,and Brooklyn.

Music for the Missing Butterflies

This is a more recent piece of mine, written for Ensemble Metamorphosis and their concert Sun Moon Stars | Life, premiered 28 March 2021. Deep involved with the My Garden without Me project, I was imagining the sound world of the immaterial butterflies.

RECTANGLING

performance by bco ljubica marić. rade pejčić, conductor. festival KoMA '3, the belgrade philharmonic hall, belgrade, 2006 (live recording).

This piece is a short research into the use of visual and geometrical elements in string orchestra music. Drawing inside the sound, sounding inside a space. Dot - line - plane. Symmetry, and one fountain in Budapest.

Phonation - Mix 2

Ana Gnjatović · Auscultation: Tin Cry

Auscultation: Tin Cry

for accordion solo (2013)
dedicated to Vladimir Blagojević

Some metals such as tin, indium, gallium, zinc, and I think it is similar with people too, emit a certain silent crackling sound when they are folded – tin cry. The crackling sound is the result of the change in the crystal structure of the metal: under the influence of mechanical force a large number of atoms move at a high speed in the same direction starting a sound wave. It is possible to restore the original crystal structure of the metal by melting it.
