ABOUT

Gorje [A Journey through the Unknown Mountain] for oboe and string quartet is a personal sonic representation of an exploration of one’s own origins, South Slavic [Bosnian] myths and legends, archaic [musical] traditions and customs, and the cultic significance and identity-forming effect of natural landscapes, especially mountains, forests and rivers. The composition represents a state of the “antediluvian” unconscious. It is a reflection on the distant yet omnipresent, on a space-time that precedes this reality, on an ancient and primordial causality.
