Milica Djordjević: Mali Svitac, između dva treptaja

für Orchester

(2023)

The new piece from the series »Glühwürmchen« Mali Svitac, između dva treptaja (Little Firefly, between two blinks) explores various gradients, textures and extreme contrasts that take place in a continuous charge between two poles. From extreme fragility to another explosion, it is less about the denial of harmony and beautiful sound and more about the experience of the elemental, the immediately physical.

Milica Djordjević

Milica Djordjević (*1984 in Belgrade) has an exuberant sound imagination and, thanks to her access to the entire arsenal of contemporary sound and playing techniques, »is able to transform the sounds produced by a lone cello into an acoustic thunderstorm of sheer existential dimensions by means of live electronics, conversely, to let twelve percussionists sink into the transitional field from the inaudible to the shadowy, or in ensemble and orchestral compositions to gently liquefy static sound surfaces and transform them into sluggish and viscous currents. In her music, the listener can never be sure of surprises.«

Her music is strange and familiar at the same time–strange because it unleashes darkness, fear, hidden and suppressed things; familiar because it makes these things explode and their splinters glitter. As brittle and abstract as the surface of her pieces may initially appear, the elaborate textures and dramatic tensions are sensually captivating.

She began her composition studies in Belgrade, where she was already involved in electronic music, then went to Strasbourg and the Paris IRCAM, and completed her studies in Berlin at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music from 2011 to 2013. Her already extensive output, performed by leading soloists and contemporary music ensembles, includes works for solo instruments, chamber music ranging from instrumental duos to double quartets, vocal works and large-scale orchestral compositions. Milica Djordjević has received numerous prizes and awards for her works, including the Belmont Prize in 2015, the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung Composer Prize in 2016, and the Claudio Abbado Composition Prize in 2020.
