<DIV><BR>At long last, after a split release with composer Ivana
Stefanovic<BR>in 1993 (on ORF), and a first solo release on Eric La Casa's La
<BR>Légende Des Voix label in 1994, and/OAR (in collaboration with <BR>FO A RM
Publications and Alluvial Recordings) is simply elated to <BR>release a second
solo CD of previously unreleased work by Serbian <BR>composer/film, television
and theatre director Arsenije Jovanovic!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Two samples from this release are now available on the a/O Radio<BR>page
and on the a/O MySpace page. The info page for the release<BR>only has one
sample at this time.<BR><A

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From what sound like theatrical Fellini Satyricon-like
extravaganzas<BR>(although predating Satyricon by two years), haunting
phantasmic <BR>dronescapes, to near pastoral epiphanies of childhood and the
<BR>imagination of innocence, the dynamic range and mood of the <BR>work
presented here is impressive, and it's well apparent that he's <BR>drawn upon
his experience with directing for film, television and <BR>theatre; however
Jovanovic's mastery of composition, weaving <BR>field recordings, concrete
sounds, voices and instruments is still<BR>nothing short of astonishing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When presented with this work for a possible joint release by <BR>Seth
Nehil of FO A RM Publications, it was hard to fathom how <BR>it had gone
unreleased over the past 30 years. With the exception <BR>of one track
("Prophecy Of The Village Kremma" which was used <BR>in the film "The Thin Red
Line"), the only way that people could <BR>hear this work were if they had just
happened to catch a rare <BR>radio broadcast in Serbia (former Yugoslavia),
France or <BR>Italy, for which the works were created (hence the title), or
if<BR>they attended a festival where the music may have been<BR>played.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And so it is my hope to open people's minds and expose Arsa <BR>Jovanovic's
work to a much larger audience of which it truly <BR>deserves. Copies of his
first solo release are still available in<BR>the and/OAR Diffusion shop, so if
you are not yet acquainted <BR>with Arsa's work, now would be a great time to
immerse yourself<BR>in two collections of his work while copies are still
available, <BR>and at and/OAR prices.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks very much for your time!</DIV>
