This double CD edition contains a selection of recordings made during two concerts held in Novi Sad, at the Cultural Center of Vojvodina "Miloš Crnjanski", and at the Youth Center CK13, as the result of the artistic residency of the composer Maja Bosnić (21.11 - 4.12.2022). The first audio disc presents us with compositions from the portrait concert with Bosnić’s works, written for classical instruments and ensemble formations, infused with conceptual content adapted from everyday life phenomena, that are being expressed through compositions for solo and duo performances, music theater for chamber orchestra and audience participation through playing on their smartphones. On the other hand, the recordings on the second audio disc capture a concert presentation of the "Music – the Art of Readymade(s)" workshop, where the participants (from the alternative music scene, as well as those without any playing experience) had the opportunity to develop and deepen their creative intuition through improvisational exercises with objects, as well as imitations of everyday sounds with music instruments. The inclusiveness and accessibility of the musical content are important determinants of the compositions and contribute to the artistic, educational, and political intention of the project to critically question the exclusivity of serious music and hierarchies in music production, by erasing the border between composer, performer, and audience.
Recorded on 21.11.2022. at the Cultural center of Vojvodina “Miloš Crnjanski”, Novi Sad and 4.12.2022. CK13, Novi Sad.
