Reviews

"(...)While the actions and sounds of the performers moved closer and closer into Fluxus territory while still maintaining a remarkable degree of coordination, the instructions on the video veered increasingly into data mining. Bosnić’s practice is deceptively fun: a cheeky, freewheeling wit belies a cutting exploration of post-digital media lying subcutaneously of the wacky surface of this music." (Tempo No.76 - Max Erwin, 15.12.2022.)
"(...)Among the youngest Composers, strongly standing out as creatively superior and authentical is Maja Bosnić. She created a true multimedia playful game - a music theater for six instruments and mobile phones "Upgrade", a piece that is effective, intriguing, funny and critically clear, as well as musically outspoken and very seriously tailored." (Politika – Zorica Premate, 14.10.2019.)
"(...)We have the transition of strings to percussion and everything starts to resemble the ritual of some African tribe, and then the sound of a train going on bad tracks where you can constantly feel the joints that look like skips. The sound that the orchestra achieved in this composition was fascinating." (Plavi krug – Ana Samardžić, 06.10.2022.)
"(...)Seven young people, led by composer Maja Bosnić, performed Phones:On, an interactive concert of new music, in its main hall. Compositions by foreign and domestic authors (including a couple of Maja's) use mobile phones in various (audio and video) ways, combine them with traditional instruments, and the background projection takes us through ear gymnastics, and then asks us to use our mobile ones. Unobtrusive, brilliant, the event of the season! Lastly, the only selfie that is not repulsive." (Vreme – Dragan Kremer, 11.07.2019.)
"(...)Thus, the strings, "the instruments originally created to sing" are "forced" to sound as extensions of the harpsichord, with methods of various sound creation by plucking and pizzicato. Brilliant, joyful and humorous, particularly in a magical "stretta" towards the end that transforms into a noise of a rainfall." (Politika – Zorica Premate, 08.12.2019.)
"(...)Maja Bosnić, in her witty manner, equipped the string players with plastic cards with which they played her piece Plucked, led by the harpsichord. The players were displaced from their comfortable environment, there was not a single melody, and a sound was created between tone and noise, energetic and challenging." (Politika – Zorica Premate, 15.10.2022.)
