Vessels (160935km) – audio work: is an audio piece inspired by our constant occupation with future and worries about unstoppable time flow. In this work various kinds of continuous flows of different speeds, densities, and textures, are perplexed. More specificly, it was inspired by a fusion of two ideas of continuous flows that define us: imagining blood cells running through vessels in a body, as well as a vehicle driving on the highway, which is why the title could refer to both concepts. The piece was originally commissioned by Stef Van Vynckt for amplified harp, video, and smartphone, but during its making, it also resulted in the creation of this version of a solo audio work that could optionally be accompanied a video.

BIO:
Maja Bosnić (1985, Serbia) is a composer and performer from Belgrade. In her music, she re-questions and examines accustomed phenomena in the process of music-making, exposes them to concepts of every-day life (habits of the society, modern trends, pop culture, science, etc.) then resets them in compositions that sometimes include audience action in the performance. Bosnić is drawn to impossible missions, absurd solutions, limited material, playfulness, uncertain outcomes, audience participation, treating instruments as ready-made objects of expression, and treating real-life objects as music instruments. She obtained a Ph.D. degree in music composition at Goldsmiths, University of London (UK), supervised by prof. Roger Redgate. She writes pieces for solo, chamber, ensemble, and orchestra performances, as well as, projects for electronics, multimedia installations, and interactive settings. Bosnić’s works have been performed in festivals, such as Impuls (Austria), CTM Festival, The International Summer Courses for New Music in Darmstadt, The Festival of Young Artists Bayreuth (Germany), Music Here and Now, S.U.T.R.A in the name of algorithm festival, International Review of Composers, April Meetings, KOMA – Compositions of Young Authors (Serbia), International Youth Arts Festival in Kingston upon Thames (United Kingdom), Sites + Subjects in Plovdiv (Bulgaria), Timsonia 2018 New Music Festival in Timisoara (Romania) and Delian Academy of New Music in Mykonos 2019 (Greece), where her work was performed by re-known Klangforum Wien ensemble. Her works have been performed around Europe with the support of the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia, Secretariat for Culture of the City of Belgrade, Goethe-Institut, and European Cultural Foundation. She was awarded scholarships and annual grants by the Ministry of Youth of the Republic of Serbia, Donaueschinger Muziktage 2014, and Delian New Music Academy in 2019.
